The History Of Guwahati

The history of Assam is shaped by a union of people from the east, west and the north, the convergence of the Tibeto-Burman, Indo-Aryan, Austro-Asiatic cultures and many more. The history of Assam has been derived from multiple sources. Some like Ramayana, Mahabharata, Kalika Purana, Yogini Tantra, Bishnu Purana, etc has the pre history of Assam as Pragjyotishpur. Later, during the ancient times, Prasastis of Samudragupta also has mentions about Kamarupa, the various rock inscriptions, copper plates, royal grants, etc. During the medieval times the buranjis of Ahom Kingdom says a lot about Assam History. The country known as Pragjyotisha in most ancient times and as Kamarupa in medieval times has been mentioned in both Ramayana and Mahabharata. The ancient name of Guwahati was Pragjyotishpur. Prehistoric Assam is reconstructed from epics and literature from early times. According to Mahabharata, Pragjyotishpur included the area of the greater part of modern Assam together with ...

Anne Frank: The Fiery Savior

Image
During the Nazi rule in the land of Germany, there lived a girl named Anne Frank, with her parents and her elder sister, Margot in the beautiful city of Frankfurt. She was a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl with starry eyes and dreams that every teenager saw at her age: dreams of higher studies and dreams of going out with a cute lad. Everything was going as it should in Anne’s life, until the day when a huge incident changed her life. Adolf Hitler, who was becoming the popular leader of the Nazis, started ruling Germany and sent an order to kill all the Jews living in Germany and beyond. He wanted to establish a Nazi Europe, where only Christians would live. Hitler was a ruthless leader and a hardcore patriot. All the Jews in Europe were sent letters to report in concentration camps where they were gassed or sometimes shot to death. It was a difficult task for Anne’s family to leave escape from Germany, as they belonged to the middle class society. However, they somehow manage...

Feminism

Image
We hear a lot of people talking about gender equalities or feminism. But i bet a lot of people still do not know what actually it means. People blindly support feminism thinking that it is something like anti-men kind of a thing. But it is not! Feminism is not about hating a man. It is being independent, it is living the life the way You want, it is the fact that women can also present themselves equal to men and it is also about raising your life's standard.  Okay coming to the question 'Are women really equal to men? Or is feminism successful in a country like India? My answer would be NO! We are still not treated as something people should respect. Some people might think what rubbish I am speaking but its true! Even today girls are being raped by their own family members, they are being raped by their own friends, they are being raped when they are alone in the streets, they are being raped by their own husband, they are being raped by their own brother, and t...

Blessings to my friend

Image
It is so beautiful that we all wake up in the morning and take our first step wishing that the day goes swiftly and properly. Same happened with her. She stretched her arms and took her first step towards the door and opened it. She gently rubbed her eyes and saw the beautiful scene created by the nature. The mist was blanketing the surrounding through which the sun smiled at her. She slowly took a second step towards the yard where her feet got wet. Slowly after sometime she ran back to her room. Daisy, the girl knew that today, her beloved was coming to her. That happiness in her eyes was something wonderful to me. The way she was doing all her works made me feel that it is the real happiness in our life. I stood there in a corner and saw her running to make everything perfect in our home. She was looking very beautiful today. Maybe that spark in her eyes made her so beautiful. Seeing her so madly in love with him I secretly wished and prayed to God to bless her with all the ha...

The little pauper girl

Image
She was standing at a corner of the road where hardly anyone can notice her. Wearing a frock which was ripped she was incessantly looking at me. Probably she was crying before and after i looked at her, she wiped those.   I went to her and offered my hand to hold it. At first she was perplexed. For a girl like her it was something unusual because she was just a little pauper girl. I took her hand and rubbed them and when i looked in her eyes I saw that delight in her eyes which gave me immense happiness which is hard to describe in words. I am thinking that why we people always ignore those little souls? There are thousands of children like that girl in our country. But no one is giving attention to them. Not even their parents. They are sent to work. Why it is happening? Because they are poor they are earning money by sacrificing their childhood? They have stopped dreaming about their life. These days laws are made but i don’t think anyone is following it. Why can’t people s...

A Woman’s suffering in India.

Image
 Recently we came to hear a lot of gossips in about a girl struggling for her life. Some beastly people were responsible for this incident which took place in Delhi, the capital city of our country. Finally this girl left this world and went to another, taking all the brutality that happened to her. Everything happened just because of our mistakes. If today, our whole country is treated equally then I think we would never see these things taking place. In every step the men are given more importance than a woman. According to the census of India, for every 1000 men in this country, there exist only 940 women, an imbalance due to sex- selective abortion and infanticide. The difference is even more extreme in certain states. In rural areas, girls perform the brunt of household chores and are often married in their teens; occasionally to men they’ve never met. Even today women are treated very poorly. People are not concerned about their mother, wife and sisters. A large n...

Meadow Surprises

Here I am in this beautiful meadow with green velvet grass, a beautiful stream where the water is gushing through the rocks. There i can see the magnificent red roses, the white lilies, the yellow daffodils and many more. I can seethe buzzing bees, the multicolored butterflies and also the honey sucker. It is a sunny day and all the creatures are busy around me and in the meanwhile I am here taking a book in my hands and lying beside the stream and on the soft velvet grass. The breeze is blowing gently. Some children are laughing a mile away from me. A butterfly sat on a flower. Wow! Together they looked so beautiful. Far away from me a man is selling balloons. The whole group of children ran to him. The balloons and The whole nature looked so enchanting and I broke all the meadow surprise.
