This was my project. In my Project I had tried to to express the event and situation at the time of Independence and how our constitution got framed. It include challenges of our newly independent India like Partition, integration of princely states, and so on. The matter is taken from different sources and complied by me with some of my opinion and somewhat present my view.

This document discusses public opinion, including its evolution, definition, importance, and cultural context. It provides the following key points:
1. Public opinion developed along with democratic institutions as political participation expanded beyond single rulers or elites.
2. Public opinion refers to people's views, which are formed in the general interest rather than just a majority. It starts with active political figures and shapes public trends.
3. Effective public opinion is important for democracy to function properly and for political parties and policies to succeed or fail. It also plays a role in national development.
Linguistic reorganization of Indian States - Climax of Integration of StatesDiscussion Solution
India is a land of many languages, each with its distinct script, grammar, vocabulary and literary traditions. This gave rise to the demand for reorganizing the states based on languages. Here we have discussed the various linguistic movements and the history of reorganizing India.
Sunstein argues that while filtering online content allows individual choice, it can also fragment society and polarize groups. In a diverse society, people need exposure to unexpected ideas and shared experiences to bring them together. However, the internet allows extreme specialization and fragmentation as people choose only like-minded sites, worsening polarization over time through social cascades and groupthink. Sunstein proposes some policy options like voluntary self-regulation or subsidizing diverse public spheres to address these issues.
linguistic states problems and perspectivesHemant Gaikwad
The document discusses India's policy of creating linguistic states after independence to promote diversity and autonomy. It provides historical context starting from the Bengal Partition Resolution of 1905 up to the States Reorganisation Commission of 1955 which redrew state boundaries along linguistic lines. While linguistic states aimed to minimize conflict, they also led to issues like regionalism, tensions over resources, and demands for newer states. The creation of states based primarily on language was a pragmatic solution but not perfect, as demands for states like Telangana and Vidarbha show language alone cannot address all complexities.
India's Independence Day on August 15th commemorates the end of British rule in 1947 and the division of India and Pakistan into separate countries. It is a national holiday celebrated across India with flags and decorations in the colors of the Indian flag as the Prime Minister hoists the national flag at Red Fort in New Delhi and families gather for meals and picnics.
This document discusses theories of nation-building success and failure. It explores Immanuel Wallerstein's world-systems theory that countries can be categorized as core, semi-peripheral, or peripheral in the global economic system. Core countries control and benefit the most from global trade. Peripheral countries are less developed and dependent on core countries. A country's position in the global economic hierarchy can influence its success in establishing the qualities of a modern nation-state. The document also examines theories of imperialism and colonialism in shaping the modern world order and economic dominance of Western European nations.
Walter Lippman argued that it is impossible for citizens in a democracy to be fully informed on all issues, as idealized. Public opinion is influenced by cognitive shortcuts and predispositions. People rely on elites, interest groups, friends, and family to inform their opinions. There are two models of how public opinion forms - the elite model where elites generate messages that citizens absorb, and the activated masses model where citizens discuss issues and counter-elites drive grassroots movements. Public opinion has characteristics like direction, intensity, saliency, and latency. While there is often widespread agreement, there are also fundamental disagreements in public opinion around specific issues and core values.
Technological advancements in the 15th centuryJody Titus
The document discusses technological advancements in the 15th century including improvements to ship designs, navigational instruments, and the invention of the printing press. It focuses on the development of the caravel ship, which had a combination of square and triangular sails that allowed it to sail close to the wind. This helped sailors navigate unknown regions. Other instruments discussed include the stern-post rudder, astrolabe, and quadrant - all of which helped sailors determine their location at sea. The printing press also allowed information to be widely shared in books, charts, and maps. Weapons technology advanced as well, with early guns being produced and carried on caravels.
History, Art and Architecture under British Rule.Pankaj Saikia
The document summarizes changes in Indian art, performance arts, literature, and architecture during the colonial period. Regional styles like the Pahari and Tanjavur schools emerged in art. Hindustani and Carnatic music were revived, and Rabindra Sangeet was developed. Western instruments were incorporated into Indian music. Dance forms like Rabindranritya emerged. Literature shifted to prose and regional languages, addressing social issues. Printing presses spread vernacular publications. Colonial cities like Mumbai and Madras featured European architectural styles adapted to the Indian climate.
Indian art has evolved over millennia, with early themes emerging in the Harappan period around 2500 BC. Major developments include the arrival of Indo-Europeans introducing new ideas around 1500 BC, the rise of Buddhism around 500 BC bringing new themes, and influence from Alexander's conquests in the 320s BC. The Gupta period saw the carving of the Ajanta and Ellora caves between the 2nd-6th centuries AD depicting Buddhist scenes. Islamic influence from around 1000 AD brought new styles like miniature paintings. Indian art reflects its diversity of cultures and acceptance of outside influences, which it has blended into its traditions over time.
I can identify key technological advancements that helped in making our knowledge of space expand. My research will show the past, but I will also predict what future advancements may stretch our limits even more.
1) The document discusses the Bermuda Triangle, a region where numerous aircrafts and ships have disappeared under mysterious circumstances.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

“IIT = Harvard + MIT + Princeton” , says CBS ‘60 Minutes’.
CBS' highly-regarded ‘60 Minutes’, the most widely watched news programme in the US, told its
audience of more than 10 Million viewers that “IIT may be the most important university
you've never heard of."
"The United States imports oil from Saudi Arabia, cars from Japan, TVs from Korea and
Whiskey from Scotland. So what do we import from India? We import people, really smart
people," co-host Leslie Stahl began while introducing the segment on IIT.
“…the smartest, the most successful, most influential Indians who've migrated to the US seem to
share a common credential: They are graduates of the IIT.”
“…in science and technology, IIT undergraduates leave their American
counterparts in the dust.“
“Think about that for a minute: A kid from India using an Ivy League
university as a safety school. That's how smart these guys are.”
There are “cases where students who couldn't get into computer science at
IIT, they have gotten scholarships at MIT, at Princeton, at Caltech.”

17. Science of Yoga
“…The science of yoga was born in an age when mankind as a whole was more
enlightened, and could easily grasp truths for which our most advanced thinkers
are still grasping.”
The science of yoga meditation had been taught by the ancient, sages,
gurus, yogis, through oral tradition for thousands of years, they were
finally put to Sanskrit by Patanjali in 500 b.c.
“…It is because the groping for these truths has begun again that great yogis have
reintroduced this ancient science to humanity at large.”
Pre-eminent among them, even today, are the sages of the Himalayas.
Today, the word yoga is much used and much misunderstood these days,
reduced from its knowledge on the control of the conscious to that of
the control of the body.
19. Rabindranath Tagore,
Poet and writer of India’s national anthem and Nobel
Prize for Literature in 1913,
(18611941):
"Oneness amongst men, the advancement of unity in diversity –
this has been the core religion of India.“
20. Swami Vivekananda,
(1863-1902):
“I am proud to belong to a religion which has taught the world both
tolerance and universal acceptance.
We believe not only in universal toleration, but we accept all religions
as true.
I am proud to belong to a nation which has sheltered the persecuted and
the refugees of all religions and all nations of the earth.
I am proud to tell you that we have gathered in our bosom the purest
remnant of the Israelites, who came to Southern India and took refuge
with us in the very year in which their holy temple was shattered to
pieces by Roman tyranny.
I am proud to belong to the religion which has sheltered and is still
fostering the remnant of the grand Zoroastrian nation.
I will quote to you, brethren, a few lines from a hymn which I
remember to have repeated from my earliest boyhood, which is every day
repeated by millions of human beings: ‘As the different streams having
their sources in different paths which men take through different
tendencies, various though they appear, crooked or straight, all lead to
Thee.’ ”
21. Sri Aurobindo,
(1872-1950):
“…Like the majority of educated Indians, I have passively accepted
without examination, the conclusion of European scholarship.”
“…That we turn always the few distinct truths and the symbols or the
particular discipline of a religion into a hard and fast dogmas, is a sign
that as yet we are only infants in the spiritual knowledge and are yet
far from the science of the Infinite.”
"...The mind is not the highest possible power of consciousness; for
mind is not in possession of Truth, but only its ignorant seeker.”
22. Mahatma Gandhi
(1869-1948):
Gandhi was once asked what he thought about Western Civilization. His
response was: "I think it would be a good idea.”
"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its
animals are treated.“
“You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the
ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.”
“The only devils in this world are those running around inside our own hearts, and
that is where all our battles should be fought.”
“If all Christians acted like Christ, the whole world would be Christian.”
“Woman, I hold, is the personification of self-sacrifice, but unfortunately today she
does not realize what tremendous advantage she has over man.”
“Indians, will stagger humanity without shedding a drop of blood.”
“An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.”
23. Guru Tegh Bahadur
(1621-1675):
The Kashmiri Brahmins, who were being persecuted by the Mughal
emperor Aurangzeb, seeked the council of Guru Tegh Bahadur. The 9th
guru of the Sikhs upon hearing of the Brahmins predicament,
responded:
“Unless a holy man lays down his head for the sake of the poor Brahmins, there is
no hope for their escape from imperial tyranny.”, his young son reminded him
“Revered father, who would be better equipped for this than yourself?”
During Guru Tegh Bahadur’s subsequent imprisonment by Aurangzeb,
he spoke out:
“Hinduism may not be my faith, …but I would fight for the right of all Hindus to
live with honour and practice their faith according to their own rites…. “
“All men are created by God and therefore must be free to worship in any manner
they like. I neither convert others by force, nor submit to force, to change my faith.”
The enraged Aurangzeb, upon realising Guru Tegh Bahadur would not
convert to Islam, ordered his public beheading by the sword.
His body was left in the dust as no one dared to pick up the body for
fear of the emperors reprisal.

27. India
India never invaded any country in her
last 10,000 years of history.
It is the only society in the world
which has never known slavery.
India was the richest country on Earth until the
time of the British in the early 17th Century
It has been estimated that the total amount of treasure that the British looted
from India had already reached £1,000,000,000 (£1Billion) by 1901.
Taking into consideration interest rates and inflation this would be worth close
to $1,000,000,000,000 ($1Trillion) in real-terms today.
