TRIBAL WELFARE STUDENTS DO NATION PROUD.

Mallesh Naini, tenth class student of Telangana Tribal-Welfare Residential School, Asifabad, did his alma mater proud and joined a select group of students from the social and tribal welfare educational institutions who have defied under-privileged backgrounds and climbed some of the world's highest mountains. Belonging to the Mannevar Primitive Tribal group (PGT), Naini, along with thirteen other members from India and under the mentorship of mountaineer Sekhar Babu unfurled the 100-ft tri-colour on 14th August midnight atop Mt. Kilimanjaro. He and his team began their climb on 10th August and reached the peak on the eve of the seventieth Independence Day celebrations.
The daredevil mountaineering team also sang the national anthem after successfully conquering the mountain, which is Africa's highest mountain at 5,895 metres height. "I never imagined that I would one day board a flight and would go on mountaineering expedition considering my family's poor background", said the teen hero. Thanking the TS government and the TTWREIS for making mountaineering a reality for children from primitive tribal groups like his, he recalled the expedition to be 'thrilling' and had helped boost his 'self-confidence levels'. "I wanted to prove to the world that everything under the sky is possible if opportunities are provided", he exclaimed. As a mark of gratitude to the government, he paid tributes to Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao by displaying his portrait atop the Mount Kilimanjaro along with the photograph of Komaram Bheem, the tribal hero.
Anand Kumar, alumnus of the TSWREIS, who scaled Mount Everest along with Malavath Poorna in 2014 also took part in the Mount Kilimanjaro expedition, said Secretary R.S. Praveen Kumar, while congratulating the students. He pointed out that the TS Government has been providing for quality education to the marginalised children under the prestigious KG-PG mission and encouraging other adventure sports too.

VIEWS OF MANU AND KAUTILYA ON THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE.

The state performed its duty of protection of society and the individual through coercive enforcement of the standards of justice based on the concept of ' Dharma '. From the Vedic period onward, the perennial attitude of Indian culture had been justice and righteousness. Justice, in the Indian context, was a human expression of a wider universal principle of nature and if men were entirely true to nature, their actions would be spontaneously just. Men experienced Justice, in the sense of a distributive equity, as moral justice, social justice, and legal justice. Each of these forms of justice was viewed as a particularisation of the general principle of the universe seen as a total organism. Impartial administration of justice was always regarded as one of the main duties of the King and he was considered to be the fountain of justice. The ethical code of society and its cultural standards were inter-related. The cultural maturity and social amicability and even their det...

ANCIENT INDIA'S LINKS TO TODAY.

You may not have heard of Shu-ilishu but he is a man of great significance. He reaches out to us from almost 4,300 years ago, through a small Akkadian cylinder seal now housed at the Louvre Museum in Paris. On the seal, you will find an image of him talking to two men. The inscription describes Shu-ilishu as the interpreter of the Meluhhan language. 'Meluha' was, in all probability, the term used by ancient Mesopotamians for the Indus Valley region, and the presence of an oficial 'interpreter' there indicates just how important the steady flow of good from the Indian sub-continent was.  Precious and vibrant lapis lazuli stones, carnelian beads, wood and even dogs would go across via old trade routes and ports like Lothal (in modern-day Gujarat) to Akkad, capital of the Akkadian Empire (03rd millennium BCE) and now in modern-day Iraq. There are also references to a settlement of Meluhhans in the city of Guabba in Sumer, in Mesopotamia.  The story of Shi-ilishu and ...
