🇮🇳 Facts about
India 🇮🇳
*Telangana* is a state in southern India. Its capital is
Hyderabad.
There are various versions about its name and origin...
The name
"Telangana" refers to the word TRILINGA (TRILINGA DESAM) meaning “a
country of three lingas”. According to a Hindu scripts, Lord Shiva descended in
the “lingam” form on three mountains, Kaleswaram, Srisailam & Draksharama
which marked the boundaries of the Trilingadesam later called Telinga, Telunga
or Telugu.
A more historical
reasoning is that during the reign of Nizams, the region was known as Telugu +
Angana (countryard आँगन, प्रांगण) to differentiate it from the areas where
Marathi was spoken. Days passed and people started calling Telangana with
Bhagyanagar(Now Hyderabad) has its capital. The word similar to Telangana can
also be seen in a name of Malik Maqbul (14th century), who was called the
Tilangani, which implies that he was from Tilangana. He was the commander of
the Warangal Fort (Kataka Pāludu).
After India's independence in 1947, the last Nizam of
Hyderabad, Osman Ali Khan, refused to join the Indian Union despite repeated requests
from Jawaharlal Nehru & Sardar Patel. The Indian army annexed Hyderabad and
the Nizam surrendered to Sardar Patel on 17th Sept, 1948 under Madras
Presidency. Govt of India agreed for creation of a separate Telangana state in
July, 2013 & Telangana came into effect on June 2, 2014 as ‘Telangana
state’, the 29th state of Indian Union.

Why Horse Does Not
Get Tired?
They are very efficient. don't have any muscles in the
bottom half of their legs, just tendons and ligaments to help them move. This
makes them very efficient at running longer distances at a steady quick speed (around
30 miles an hour). The stamina of horses is influenced by genetics and physical
fitness. Horses generally are considered an athletic species with large hearts
and lungs for their size, but some breeds have greater stamina than others.
Thin skin and flat muscles, to allow rapid cooling during prolonged exercise.
Why Do Horses Sleep
Standing Up?
That's because horses actually doze while on their feet and
lie down for Rapid Eye Movement sleep.
... To protect themselves, horses instead doze while standing. They're able to
do this through the stay apparatus, a special system of tendons and ligaments
that enables a horse to lock the major joints in its legs.

How it works ⁉️
How pearls are formed
⚪️⚪️
A natural pearl begins its life inside an oyster's shell
when an intruder, such as a grain of sand or bit of floating food, slips in
between one of the two shells of the oyster, a type of mollusk, and the
protective layer that covers the mollusk's organs, called the mantle. ...
Cultured pearls are made in the same way
Typically, an Akoya pearl will grow between 10 to 14 months
before reaching a size of up to 9mm in diameter, a Tahitian pearl may grow for
18 to 24 months to reach a size of 10mm and a South Sea pearl will grow between
2 and 3 years to reach diameters of up to 15mm.

Mangal Pandey (19 July 1827 – 8 April 1857) was an Indian
soldier who played a key part in the events immediately preceding the outbreak
of the Indian rebellion of 1857. He was
a sepoy (sipahi) in the 34th Bengal Native Infantry (BNI) regiment of the
British East India Company.
Pandey's reference to cartridges is usually attributed to a
new type of bullet cartridge used in the Enfield P-53 rifle which was to be
introduced in the Bengal Army that year. The cartridge was thought to be
greased with animal fat, primarily from cows and pigs, which could not be
consumed by Hindus and Muslims respectively . The cartridges had to be bitten
at one end before use. The Indian troops in some regiments were of the opinion
that this was an intentional act of the British, with the aim of defiling their
religions.

Numerical scale: The
addition of digits of number 108 is 9, Indian Vedas, treats the Sun as God, and
Sun has 12 signs (Zodiac signs). In Yajurved, Sun is related with Lord Brahma
(the number 9), remember - 12 * 9 = 108.

*Benefits of
Jaggery* *गुड़*
Jaggery (or gur) is made from unrefined sugar, and is
obtained by boiling raw, concentrated sugar cane juice till it solidifies.
Although jaggery is also made from the sap of coconut and date palm, the one
made from sugar cane is the one that's used most widely.
It prevents constipation by aiding digestion. It activates
the digestive enzymes in our body, thus helps in proper digestion of food.
That's why many people prefer eating jaggery after a meal.
Eating a piece of jaggery daily can help women combat PMS
symptoms including mood swings, menstrual cramps and abdominal pain.
It acts as a detox, as it helps cleanse the liver by
flushing out nasty toxins from the body. Jaggery is loaded with antioxidants
and minerals like zinc and selenium, which help prevent free-radicals
(responsible for early ageing). It helps boost resistance against infections,
hence building stronger immunity.
_People who are diabetic or are following a weight loss diet
should monitor their consumption of jaggery, as it can lead to weight gain and
fluctuations in blood-sugar levels_
*Instead of
candy/Chocolate, jaggery is very good for children's health.*
