“EVIL” IMPACTS OF POLLUTION.

Man is polluting the environment intentionally and ignorantly. The undesirable change in the quality of air, water and soil may be called as pollution. It harms the health and life of humanity. Pollution is one of the evils brought about by the growth of science and technology. Man is responsible for polluting all the components of nature by adding impurities to them.

Pollutingourbreath : Air is essential for our life. We breathe in oxygen from air. Our health depends on the quality of air we breathe. Factories and industries let out smoke. Toxic gases found in the smoke pollute the air. The intake of polluted air causes diseases like lung cancer, asthma and nervous disorders. Due to this pollution the ozone layer gets depleted. It results in the entry of harmful ultraviolet radiation into the earth causing diseases like skin cancer.

Contaminating the elixir : No life is possible without water. Pure drinking water is necessary for the healthy survival of humanity. Water gets polluted when toxic and acidic wastes are disposed off into it. This will contaminate the water. This contaminated water helps the growth of disease causing germs. These pathogenic germs will cause diseases such as jaundice, typhoid, cholera, dysenteryetc.

Impairingthepeace: Noise pollution is another menace. A loud unpleasant sound that causes discomfort is called noise. We experience the noise during the festivals, political functions, etc. People who are exposed to excessive noise may suffer from hearing impairment. Noise pollution also causes peptic ulcer, psychological tension and nervousness.

Maltreating the land:Land pollution is caused by the accumulation of non-degradable pollutants such as plastics, polythene bags etc. These materials cover the soil surface in the due course of time, the soil becomes rigid and loses its fertility. Polythene bags have been banned in many cities recently. The excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides has their impact on human beings.

Control measures :Thefirstandforemoststep is to create awareness about the harmful effects of pollution. Factories should adopt strict pollution control measures. Use of non-conventional energy sources such as solar energy and wind energy should be encouraged. Bio-fertilizers should be used in agriculture. Deforestation should totally be stopped. Green plants are to be cultivated around the industries. This will ensure not only the reduction of noise pollution but also render fresh air.

Unless some measures are taken to control pollution as its source, the pollutants will certainly pose as a hazard to human health or threaten the efficiency of agricultural production. By controlling pollution, we can breathe pure air, drink pure water and live in a noise-free environment forever. Pollution – free environment is the best legacy that we can hand down to posterity.

“Let us promise not to pollute

       Nature will give us her salute. “

AN ANALYSIS OF SECOND CRUCIFIXION.

 THE  SECOND  CRUCIFIXION.

                               

                                    AN ANALYSIS OF SECOND  CRUCIFIXION.

                     

       The second crucifixion deals with the death of Mahatma Gandhi, while the first one is about the death of Jesus Christ. On 30^th January 1948,the man who brought the mighty British empire was killed by the people for whom he faught for.This day is remembered as Martyr’s day in India. The second crucifixion is written by Larry Collins, the author of Fall from Grace and co-author with Dominique Lapierre , of thebestselling Is Paris Burning? and l’ll Dress You in the Morning. For more than ten’ years Collins was a foreign correspondent for UPI and then for Newseek. DominiqueLapierre is the author of the best – selling City of Joy  andco-author of Is Paris Burning? And O Jerusalem.He lived in France and was a senior reporter and editor for many years in Paris Match.

After India got independence in 1947, Jawaharlal Nehru became the first Prime Minister and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel became the first deputy Prime Minister. Patel was not satisfied with the works of Nehru. There was a disagreement between Nehru and Patel. Patel took this issue to Gandhi. He said that he was not happy with Nehru and how he worked as a Prime Minister and if Nehru did not change his way of working he would resign from his post. Gandhi knew that without Patel, Nehru would not be able to handle a newly independent country. He asked Patel to promise that he won’t resign from the post of Deputy Prime Minister

Mahatma was known for his punctuality. In the mean time discussing about the serious issue regarding the disagreement between Nehru and Patel, Gandhiji was late for the evening prayer. The actual time for the prayer was five in the evening. But Gandhiji arrived late. On his arrival to Birla Bhawanhe wasassassinatedbyNaturam Godse whohadbeenalready waiting there for Gandhiji‘s arrival.

The official announcement of the death news was delayed to find out whether the assassin was Hindu or Moslem. If the assassin turned out to be a Moslem, India would face a most ghastly massacre. The director of AIR delayed the news and announced that the assassin was identified as Hindu. Thus the slaughter was averted.

Lord Mountbatten,the firstGovernor General of India, reached Birla House on hearing this news. Already the two great leaders Nehru and Patel were sitting overwhelmed with sorrow. Already Gandhiji had told Mountbatten about the disagreement between Nehru and Patel and asked him to bring them together. Moved by his words the two leaders embraced each other.

After completing this Mountbatten paid his attention towards the funeral of Gandhiji. He suggested that Gandhiji‘s body should be taken in a special train throughout the country, giving millions of people a  chance for the last darshan of their greatleader. But Gandhiji‘s secretary said that Gandhi had expressed his wish that his body would be cremated within twenty four hours as per Hindu custom. The two leaders unwillingly consented to the idea.

Mountbatten asked Nehru to address the mourning nation. Nehru said

“ The light has gone out of our lives and there is darkness everywhere. I don’t know what to say you and how to say. Our beloved leader, Bapu, as we called him, the father of our nation was no more. The light has gone out, I said, and yet I was wrong. For the light that has shone in this country was no ordinary light. The light that illumined this country for these many years will illumine this country for many more years, and a thousand years later, that light will be seen in this country and the world will see it and it will give solace to innumerable hearts. “

The death news of Gandhiji spreaded like a fire. The light whose disappearance Nehru mourned belonged not only to India but to the whole world. The news moved to London right from King George IV down to the common man. Tributes poured in from Paris, South Africa, the Vatican, the US and Pakistan. India reacted to the news in the sorrowing silence of a real hartal. People from the nearby states reached Delhi to have a last glimpse of their leader. Gandhiji‘s body was placed on the second floor on the open balcony of the Birla House for public view. There were trouble spots too. The headquarters of the Hindu Maha Sabha and the R.S.S in the cities across the nation were attacked. So they decided to conduct the funeral with the help of military.

The next day Gandhiji was killed Hindustan Standard printed a single paragraph as editorial

“ Gandhiji has been killed by his own people for whose redemption he lived. This second crucifixion in the history of the world has been enacted on Friday – the same day Jesus was done to death one thousand nine hundred and fifteen years ago. Father forgive us. “

Thus Gandhiji‘s death is a great loss to the whole world. He will remain in all our hearts as Mahatma forever.

ISAC NEWTON

    ISAC NEWTON

 

               Isac Newton was born on 25^th December 1642 at Woolsthrope,Lincolnshire in England. He was an English Mathematician, Astronomer, theologian, author and physicist. He was recognised as a key figure in the scientificevolution. His first book Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy published in 1687,laid foundation for Classical Mechanics. He was the founder of lawsof Motion andUniversal Gravitation.

He was a fellow of Trinity College and Maths Professor at the University of Cambridge. He was a devout, but unorthodox, Christian who privately rejected the doctrines of the Trinity. He refused to take the Holy orders from the church of England.

Beyond his work on mathematical science, he dedicated much of his time to the study of alchemy and biblical chronology, but most of his works in those areas remain unpublished until long after his death. He was a member of Parliament for the University of Cambridge and also served as a president of the Royal Society. He used his mathematical description of gravity to prove Kepler’s laws of planetary motion. Newton built the first practical reflecting telescope and developed a sophisticated theory of colour based on the observation that a prism separateswhite light into the colours of visible spectrum. His work on light was collected in his highly influential book Optics,published in 1704.

NEWTON’S LAW OF MOTION :-

Newton’s laws of Motion are as follows,

Newton’s first law:-

                           The first law states that every object in a state of uniform motion will remain in that state of Motion unless an external force acts on it. This law is also called as the law of Inertia and was pioneered by Galileo.

Newton’s second law:-

                              The second law states that force equals mass times of acceleration. The equation follows

F(t) = m. a(t).

               It actually implies the first law, since when f(t) =0 (no applied force) the acceleration a(t)=0, implying a constant velocity v(t) (the velocity is simply an integral with respect to time of a(t) =v(t)).

Newton’s third law:-

                              The third law states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. It implies the conservation of momentum. When one object pushes a second object at some point of contact using an applied force there must be an equal and opposite force from the second object that cancels the applied force.

NEWTON’S LAW OF UNIVERSAL GRAVITATION :-

                                                                                              This law states that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centres.

               After contributing so many valuable standards to the science Newton died on 20^th March 1727 at his age of 84. He is best known as The Genius Who Explained Gravity. His body was buried in the Westminster Abbey.
