Story About Chor Minar

 You must have heard about the Char Minar of Hyderabad, the Qutub Minar of Delhi, have you heard the name of 'Chor Minar'?

 Many rulers in history made Delhi the capital of the country as their capital. The climate of Delhi has seen many dynasties flourish and meet in the soil. Different architectural specimens are also seen in the historical buildings of Delhi. Some buildings testify to Shan-o-Shaukat (like Humayun's Tomb), some of cruelty and ruthlessness.

 There is one such building in the middle of the running city, the name is Chor Minar. This tower, standing in R block of Hauz Khas residential area, is almost hidden from public view today. It is worth mentioning that once there was only the smell of death around this tower.

 Chor Minar was built in the 13th century during the reign of Alauddin Khilji (1296 AD to 1316 AD).

 Alauddin Khilji snatched the throne from Jaluddin Khilji and himself became Amir-e-Tuzuk. During the reign of Khilji, the Mongols were trying to enter India and capture the land of India. The Mongols reached the border of Delhi. The Delhi Sultanate defeated the Mongol army. It is said that 8000 Mongol soldiers were killed after the battle at Siri Fort in Amroha in 1305. Some Mongols were also killed on Chor Minar and their heads were hung from this tower.

 Chor Minar used to testify to terror and fear. Chor Minar was built to scare thieves, dacoits, intruders. There were 225 holes in this tower and the heads of the dead were hung from each hole. There was a huge message to the general public that participating in wrong activities can lead to this fate.

 This tower is not mentioned anywhere in the history and perhaps it was done deliberately. There is a similar minaret in Malda, West Bengal, from where the Mughal governor used to hang the rebels.

 The bricks of Chor Minar are witness to hundreds of deaths. Today it is not felt when passing through this tower. This building is also one of the many unlucky buildings in history, which are alive but have lost their status.

Why are homes so expensive in Hong kong?

 

1. Government policy is to restrict building and to create a shortage in the price of land which causes prices to skyrocket. It turns out that large numbers of people in Hong Kong benefit from the policy, so it's not going to change.

 2. You have a lot of expats and hyper-rich people pumping money into Hong Kong. This turns out to be bad for anyone that isn't hyper-rich because they don't care about prices, and pumping money in increases the price levels. 

3. It turns out that large sectors of Hong Kong society don't get hit by the high prices. If you are over 40, the odds are good that you own your own property which means high rents are good for you. If you are working class, then it turns out that you benefit from the high prices and also the government very heavily restricts immigration which keeps wages in HK for the working class high. The government has decent subsidies for the poor to make sure that they aren't angry enough to protest.

 

4. There's something of a dual economy. You'll find that prices in wet markets are substantially lower than in the supermarkets

When did the tradition of giving tips start, what is the whole story behind it?

 When did the tradition of giving tips start, what is the whole story behind it?  

According to the Oxford English Dictionary in 1706 AD, the word 'tip' was first used.  It is also said that the full form of TIP is To Insure Promptitude.

Tipping Culture in the World: 

You go to a good hotel or restaurant with your friend or family. order food. eat. Get the bill from the waiter. Suppose, a bill of Rs 3360 is made. You hand 2 notes of 2000 rupees to the waiter. He brings you 640 rupees from the counter and gives it back. You pick up a 500 note from it and leave 140 rupees for the waiter. Now this extra Rs 140, it has become a tip (TIP) from your side to the waiter.

 Who taught you to give this tip? 

 You might be thinking, "What a question that happened! Went to the big restaurant, the waiter fed the food so well, it is not necessary to give a tip!" Okay, but how did you come to know about the culture of giving tips. From TV or movies, from friends, from elders in your house. It must have been known from somewhere that the servicemen should not be tipped. Well, let's leave this question here! OX -40 % -60 % -33 % 

Another story in America!  

Many stories are told about the beginning of tip-giving.  The foodwolf website traces the beginning of tipping in America to the 18th century.  According to Michael Lynn, a professor at the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration in New York, it started in America as a show by the elite.

But do you know how tip-giving started, what is the story behind it, how tip-giving became a culture, became a tradition, how this culture was opposed at one time, then in the post modern system  There was such a thing as service charge, but the tradition of giving tips still continues…

The British started the tradition of tipping after eating. 

 This is about 1600 AD.  Incidentally, in this decade, the British had stepped on the soil of India.  The East India Company was established in this year and it is generally associated with the arrival of the British in India .  

However, we return to the topic of how tip giving got started!  1600 AD, a small amount was started to be given to the employees working in the British mansion for good service.  It started as an appreciation of the employees.  Later it became a trend.  Another story in America!  Many stories are told about the beginning of tip-giving.  The foodwolf website traces the beginning of tipping in America to the 18th century.  According to Michael Lynn, a professor at the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration in New York, it started in America as a show by the elite.

Hindi was not included in the Bharat culture. Then an Anti - Tipping Society of America was formed in Georgia and in the next decade 6 US states including Washington passed anti - tipping laws . Although anti-tipping laws were repealed in all US states in 1926.

 Then a section of the society used to give tips to workers or servicemen to show their class, to describe themselves as well educated. Although Lynn also believes that it started in Britain in the 17th century.  It was only when people who used to drink, especially, used to tip the waiters or the servants. It was a kind of assurance that they would be served alcohol quickly. Special care would be taken of their glasses.

 TIP means To Insure Promptitude  

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word 'tip' was first used in 1706 AD. It is also said that the full form of TIP is To Insure Promptitude. That is, tip is an indicator that the giver of the tip is special, better and better.  Prompt service will be given. This is a common fact even in the words of Prof. Lynn. Writer and lexicographer Samuel Johnson noticed a tipping jar in an 18th century coffee house, which was used in England.  Everyone has told this short form (TIP) to be a rumour. Trying to end the tradition of giving tips.  In 1764 AD, when it became common to pay allowances to employees in hotels, restaurants, pubs across Britain, the elite tried to eliminate tipping.  During this, there was a lot of ruckus in London.  In 1904, journalists in America also condemned it.  According to him, the tradition of tipping shows a kind of slavery this american

Recommendation for a better pay in lieu of a tip

 In 1960, the US Congress passed an amendment to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), according to which, employees should be tipped. The amount is fixed. Tipping has become a culture in countries around the world, originating from America and European countries. It has become a tradition to tip not only in hotels or restaurants, but in many services including taxi, delivery, room service. America In the UK and other European countries, tipping has become an unwritten rule. Some restaurant and hotel operators in these countries demand a ban on tipping. Instead, they recommend paying employees a better salary.

 If service charge is connected then  staff 

 There is a perception that most Indians are not generous tippers. It is up to you to give a tip. You cannot be forced to do anything. However , when restaurants started adding service charges to the bill , it solved the problem of stingy tipping to some extent . although

assumes that not all restaurants give the amount received in service charge to the employees. Hence they keep a close watch on the balance sheet. 5 years back already. The ministry had made it clear that the service charge in the restaurant bill is optional and not mandatory. That is, if you do not like the service of the restaurant, then you can refuse to pay the service charge. Service charge is levied up to 20%. According to the Consumer Protection Act 1986, if a customer is forced to pay wrongly as service charge, he can file a complaint with the consumer forum.

Did you know about Hinduism?

 Hinduism is a dharmic culture of the people of the land of Hind, that believes in karma, dharma, non- violence (ahimsa) and reincarnation. Hinduism is not a religion,it is not one single organised faith. 

In Hinduism ,depending on your approach to path to god,you might not only have your community's persionalised kul-dev but also you will see same gods in different avatars with different names in different Parts of India as well completely different gods in different parts of India, meaning to say the so called religion of Hinduism is not well organised. (One God but ,many paths.) 

If you a sikh category of Hindu then you probably won't have different avatars of gods and won't have same gods as other hindus and won't have kul-devatas. But all of the Hindus have a common belief in the karma and dharma and reincarnation irresepctive of which Hindu God you pray. 

Jainism and Buddhism got its roots from Hindu Culture. The so called religion of hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism all of them are based on the Hindu Concepts of karma and reincarnation. All of the 3 religions have the same basis of philosophy and all have concepts of Moksha (Liberation) and enlightenment. 

All of these three ideologies advice us to be a good human being caring for other humans as well as animals thats why vegetarinism is central idea of all of this three religions whether all followers adopt vegetrainism or not.  

Hinduism is a philoshophy of way of life including nature, spirit, karma, and behaviour. This means when you start some good initiative in your locality, next generation will follow you. 

In Hinduism,the main point here is: You are god. l'm god. Everyone of us has god within us. 

It's your choice either you follow one Ideology or many. No one in universe has right to question you. Because of our this philosophy, so many great gurus like buddha emerged from india.

 l am myself an agnostic. Buddha and Mahavir both got enlightgement and both were gurus. 

Geeta and ramayana are basically story books which most religious people claim these stories to be true.These books may give guidance but do not preach any laws or dictatorship unlike in case of most Abrahamic faiths.These books are written by sage man/gurus/sadhus but these are not written by prophet or gods. So,there is no one single prophecy in Hinduism.

Humans are the most creative species on the planet earth. They were afraid of natuaral phenomeneon which they did not understood scientifically thinking that god is cursing them for their bad deeds leading to some inhuman practices such as animal and child scarifice for example.Religion could have given them hope. Thats why religions got created. 

In most cases in ancient times many group of people lived in almost complete isolation with one another and thats why so many diverse faith system were created.For some,one belief system was not enough,wanted to worhip more gods to get the blessings from as many gods as possible and hence this was also reasion for creation of multiple faiths.And there can be even more reasions for why so many diverse religions got created. 

According to some estimates, there are roughly 4,200 religions in the world.

क्या ताजमहल का नाम बदला गया??

 ताजमहल का मूल नाम तेजो महालय था, जो 1155 ई. में निर्मित प्राचीन शिव मंदिर है।

ताजमहल आगरा के उत्तर प्रदेश भारत में स्थित एक सफेद संगमरमर की संरचना है।  ऐसा माना जाता है कि इसे मुगल बादशाह शाहजहाँ ने अपनी तीसरी पत्नी मुमताज महल की याद में बनवाया था

ताजमहल संस्कृत शब्द तेजो-महालय का भ्रष्ट रूप है जो शिव मंदिर को दर्शाता है।  इसमें अग्रेश्वर महादेव यानि आगरा के भगवान विराजमान थे।

संगमरमर के चबूतरे पर चढ़ने से पहले जूते उतारने की परंपरा शाहजहाँ के पूर्व के समय से शुरू हुई जब ताज एक शिव मंदिर था।  अगर ताज की उत्पत्ति एक मकबरे के रूप में हुई होती, तो जूते उतारने की जरूरत नहीं होती क्योंकि कब्रिस्तान में जूते की जरूरत होती है।

ताजमहल शब्द अपने आप में औरंगजेब के समय में भी मुगल दरबार के किसी पेपर या क्रॉनिकल में नहीं आया है।  इसे ताज-ए-महल के रूप में समझाने का प्रयास हास्यास्पद है।

अंत "महल" का उपयोग हिंदू महलों के लिए किया जाता है और कभी भी मुस्लिम नहीं होता है क्योंकि अफगानिस्तान से लेकर अल्जीरिया तक दुनिया भर के किसी भी मुस्लिम देश में "महल" नामक एक इमारत नहीं है।

ताजमहल शब्द की असामान्य व्याख्या मुमताज महल से हुई है, जो इसमें दफन है, कम से कम दो मामलों में अतार्किक है, पहला उसका नाम कभी मुमताज महल नहीं था लेकिन मुमताज़-उल-ज़मानी और दूसरा पहले तीन अक्षरों को छोड़ नहीं सकता  एक महिला के नाम से "माँ" शेष को भवन के नाम के रूप में प्राप्त करने के लिए।

 चूंकि महिला का नाम मुमताज़ ('Z' के साथ समाप्त) था, इसलिए उससे प्राप्त इमारत का नाम ताजमहल होना चाहिए था, यदि बिल्कुल नहीं, ताज नहीं ('जे' के साथ वर्तनी)।

इतिहास पर नजर डालें तो मुमताज-उल-जमानी (औरंगजेब के पिता शाहजहां की तीसरी पत्नी) की मृत्यु 1631 ई. में हुई थी और कहा जाता है कि ताज को बनने में 22 साल लगे थे।

 तब वर्तमान ताज 1653 ई. में बनकर तैयार हुआ होगा।  फिर औरंगजेब ने १६५२ ई. में रिसाव और लीकिंग दीवारों के माध्यम से अवशोषित पानी की मरम्मत का आदेश कैसे दिया?

उन्होंने निश्चित रूप से 'आदाब-ए-आलमगिरी', 'यादगारनामा' और 'मुराक्का-ए-अकबराबादी' शीर्षक से कम से कम तीन कालक्रमों में दर्ज अपने पत्र के माध्यम से एक पुराने भवन की मरम्मत का आदेश दिया।

 यदि ताज एक नया भवन होता, तो निःसंदेह इस तरह की व्यापक मरम्मत की आवश्यकता नहीं होती जैसे छत को खोलकर मोर्टार, ईंटों और पत्थरों से फिर से बनाया जाता है।

 ताज मूल रूप से 1155 ईस्वी में राजा परमर्दी देव द्वारा बनाया गया था और एक संस्कृत शिलालेख भी इस निष्कर्ष का समर्थन करता है कि ताज की उत्पत्ति शिव मंदिर के रूप में हुई थी।

 गलत रूप से बटेश्वर शिलालेख (वर्तमान में लखनऊ संग्रहालय के शीर्ष तल पर संरक्षित) के रूप में कहा जाता है, यह एक "क्रिस्टल सफेद शिव मंदिर को इतना आकर्षक बनाने के लिए संदर्भित करता है कि भगवान शिव ने एक बार इसमें निहित कैलाश पर्वत पर अपने सामान्य निवास पर कभी नहीं लौटने का फैसला किया।  ".

 शाहजहां के आदेश पर ताजमहल गार्डन से 1155 ई. के उस शिलालेख को हटा दिया गया था।  इतिहासकारों और पुरातत्वविदों ने शिलालेख को 'बटेश्वर शिलालेख' कहने में गलती की है जब रिकॉर्ड यह नहीं कहता कि यह बटेश्वर द्वारा पाया गया था।

वास्तव में, इसे 'तेजोमहालय शिलालेख' कहा जाना चाहिए क्योंकि इसे मूल रूप से ताज के बगीचे में स्थापित किया गया था और इसे शाहजहाँ के आदेश पर उखाड़कर फेंक दिया गया था।

एक अमेरिकी प्रयोगशाला द्वारा कार्बन 14 परीक्षण के अधीन ताज के नदी के किनारे के दरवाजे से एक लकड़ी के टुकड़े से पता चला है कि ताज के दरवाजे शाहजहाँ से 300 साल पुराने होने के बाद से, 11 वीं से बार-बार मुस्लिम आक्रमणकारियों द्वारा तोड़ा गया।  सदी के बाद, समय-समय पर प्रतिस्थापित किया जाना था।  ताज का भवन कहीं अधिक पुराना है।  यह 1155 ई. का है, अर्थात शाहजहाँ से लगभग 500 वर्ष पूर्व।

ताजमहल की हिंदू वास्तुकला

 गुंबद: चारों कोनों पर गुंबदों वाला एक केंद्रीय गुंबद हिंदू मंदिरों की एक सार्वभौमिक विशेषता है।

स्तंभ: चबूतरे के कोनों पर संगमरमर के चार स्तंभ हिंदू शैली के हैं।  इनका उपयोग रात में लैंप टावर और दिन में वॉच टावर के रूप में किया जाता है।  इस तरह के टावर पवित्र परिसर का सीमांकन करने का काम करते हैं।  हिंदू विवाह वेदियों और भगवान सत्यनारायण की पूजा के लिए स्थापित वेदी के चारों कोनों पर स्तंभ खड़े हैं।  ताजमहल में मीनारें हैं, लेकिन मीनारें नहीं हैं।  हिंदू मीनारें हमेशा फर्श के स्तर से शुरू होती हैं, लेकिन मुगल मीनारें इमारतों के कंधे से उठती हैं।

अष्टकोणीय आकार: ताजमहल के अष्टकोणीय आकार का एक विशेष हिंदू महत्व है क्योंकि अकेले हिंदुओं के पास आठ दिशाओं के लिए विशेष नाम हैं, और उन्हें आकाशीय पहरेदार सौंपे गए हैं।  ग्राउंड प्लान में एक अष्टकोणीय केंद्रीय गुंबददार कक्ष होता है जिसमें एक उल्टे कमल का ताज होता है, जो चार छोटे गुंबददार कक्षों से घिरा होता है।  यह शिल्पा शास्त्र (वास्तुकला का विज्ञान) में पाया जाने वाला हिंदू वास्तुकला का पारंपरिक रूप है।  शिखर स्वर्ग की ओर इशारा करता है जबकि नींव नीचे की दुनिया को दर्शाती है।  हिंदू किलों, शहरों, महलों और मंदिरों में आम तौर पर एक अष्टकोणीय लेआउट या कुछ अष्टकोणीय विशेषताएं होती हैं ताकि शिखर और नींव के साथ वे सभी दस दिशाओं को कवर कर सकें जिसमें राजा या भगवान हिंदू विश्वास के अनुसार प्रभावित होते है

 This Temple Located in Nalgonda district of Telangana only a hundred km from Hyderabad, the specialty of the 800-year-old "Chhaya Someshwara Mahadev" temple is that the shadow of a pillar keeps falling on the Shivalinga of this temple throughout the day, but how that shadow is formed.  No one could find out.

The ancient Indian architecture was so advanced that the temples are full of such wonders.  The Islamic invasion of the temples of North India had a profound effect and thousands of temples were demolished, but the Islamic invaders in the South could not cause much destruction and that is why the architecture of the temples of the South is still present in its old form.

The Chhaya Someshwara Mahadev Temple has been rejuvenated by the Telangana government recently.  Although there are many cracks on the wall of the temple due to being more than 800 years old, yet many tourists come to see it due to the attraction of the mysterious shadow falling on the Shivling.

 This temple is located only two km away from the Panagal bus stand of Nalgonda.  The wonder of the architecture is that the pillar that casts its shadow on the Shivling is not in the middle of the Shivalinga and the Sun.  There is no pillar in the sanctum  of the temple, whose shadow falls on the Shivling.  Certainly, the design and location of the pillars outside the temple have been made in such a way that the shadow of a pillar falls on the Shivling according to the mutual shadow of those pillars and the angle of the sun.  This mystery remains unsolved till date.

This temple was built by the kings of the Chola Empire in the twelfth century.  All the pillars of this temple are depicted with pictures from the stories of Ramayana and Mahabharata, and one of these mysterious pillars is such that the shadow of which falls on the Shivling.

The direction of the temple is east-west and the artisans of ancient times, displaying their scientific knowledge, knowledge of nature and amazing knowledge of geometry and reflection of sun rays, have kept the position of various pillars in such a way,  Because the sun is in any direction, this shadow will continue to fall on the Shivling of the temple

Brave Hindu Queen

 The brave queen of Garhwal, Karnavati, the "nose-cut queen"

 Have you heard the name of "Nak Kati Rani" of Garhwal region?

 Wouldn't have heard...

 Because secretly hiding all the works of such brave Hindu queens was the work of "fellowship-khau" historians ...

 The state of Garhwal could never be conquered by the Mughals....

 This fact pertains to that state.

  There used to be a queen here , whose name was " Nak Kati Rani " , because she cut off the noses of many Mughals who attacked her kingdom .

  Yes !!!  The nose was literally cut off.

 The Maharaja of this place was Mahipal Singh, and the name of his queen was Karnavati.

  The Maharaja moved the capital of his kingdom from Devalgarh to Srinagar in 1622.

 Maharaja Mahipal Singh was famous as a tough, self-respecting and brave ruler.

 His queen Karnavati was also like that.

 He did not allow any outside invader to enter his kingdom.  When Shah Jahan took over the throne at Agra on February 14, 1628, the kings of many other small and small states of North India had come to pay a courtesy visit to Shah Jahan.

 But the king of Garhwal did this to Shah Jahan.

  The coronation ceremony was boycotted.

 Obviously Shah Jahan was very angry.

  Then someone told Shahjahan that there are many gold mines in the area of ​​Garhwal and Mahipal Singh has a lot of wealth...

 What was it then, following the "loot tradition", Shah Jahan immediately planned an attack on Garhwal.

  Shah Jahan made many attacks on Garhwal, but could not succeed.

  Meanwhile, Mahipal Singh died in 1631 due to being seriously injured in a battle in Kumaon.

  His seven year old son Prithvipati Shah was appointed as the king, naturally the responsibility of all the affairs of the state fell on Queen Karnavati.

  But her trusted Garhwali generals Lodi Rikhola, Madho Singh, Banwari Das Tanwar were present to support the Queen.

 When Shah Jahan came to know of Mahipal Singh's death, he once again planned an attack on Srinagar in 1640.

 

 Shah Jahan's general, Najabat Khan, took thirty thousand soldiers and went to trample Kumaon Garhwal.

  Queen Karnavati, moving, allowed her to come deep inside the kingdom and at the place where Lakshman Jhula is located at present, the Queen surrounded Shah Jahan's army on both sides.

  Being ignorant of the mountainous area and being badly surrounded, Najabat Khan's army started dying of hunger, then he sent a message of peace and agreement in front of Queen Karnavati, which the queen immediately rejected.

  The Queen put a strange condition that whoever wants to go back to Agra alive from Shah Jahan's army will be able to go only after having his nose cut off,

 If you agree, say so.

  The queen also sent this message to Agra that if she wanted, she could also cut everyone's neck.

 But for now , showing generosity , she only wants to cut her nose .

 The sultan was very embarrassed,

 humiliated and angry,

  But what doesn't die?

  Due to being surrounded on all sides and due to hunger, there was a rebellion in the army too.

  Then the queen first cut the nose of Najabat Khan herself with her own sword and then, insulting her, cut off the noses of hundreds of soldiers and sent them back to Agra.

 Since then her name was "Nak Kati Rani".

 He did the same feat of cutting his nose again with another Mughal invader Ariz Khan and his army.

 After that the Mughals did not dare to look up to Kumaon-Garhwal.

 The queen was also considered an efficient administrator.  Tales of Maharani Karnavati's bravery are common (but missing from courses) in Dehradun.

  The credit for the construction of the canals of the Doon region can also be given to Karnavati.

  It was he who got the Rajpur canal constructed which starts from the Ripsna river and carries water to the city of Dehradun.

 Although many changes and development work have taken place in it now, but the contribution of "Nak Kati Rani" i.e. Queen Karnavati in the area of ​​Doon Valley and Kumaon-Garhwal is indelible.

He literally followed the proverb " don't stick your nose in my case , or you will get cut " and kept the entire hilly area safe from Muslim invaders .

Now this Garhwal district is uttarakhand state in  India I feel proud I belong this land .

 Hope you will pass this fact to more people... so that people can get correct information about the heroism of Hindu queens.
