SON TAKES BATON FROM SOLDIER FATHER.

At a time when he is grieving the loss of his father, an army officer, who died in the Sunjawan terror attack in Jammu, a young army cadet Ankush Choudhary in Secunderabad has now become even more strong-willed in his decision to fight for the country. The attack claimed the life of Lt. Madan Lal Choudhary, along with five other army-men. Lt. Madan Lal Choudhary's son Ankush Chaudhury, who is a cadet at the Military College of Electronics and Mechanical Engineering (MCEME), Secunderabad, has now become more resolved to serve the nation. Fearless and more motivated than before. Ankush is grieved but not shaken by his father's demise. "Right now, I am consoling my mother and sister who are also strong-willed", 19-year-old Ankush Chaudhury told TOI from Jammu.
Lt. Chaudhary, 50, prevented terrorists from entering his quarter and in the process sacrificed his life to save his family from terrorists. His sister Neha is learnt to have suffered a bullet injury. The family is in Kathua in Jammu and Kashmir and is coming to terms with the tragedy. "I have grown up in an army atmosphere, we know nothing like fear. Getting into the army was a natural choice for me" said Ankush. Asked if he felt vengeful after his father's killing at the hands of terrorists, he said, "It is not a question that should be posed now". Ankush however, said he was extremely proud to serve in the army. Ankush joined the MCEME as a cadet and would be there until 2020. After another follow-up programme for a year, he will be posted wherever his services are required. He is currently in a technical course at the MCEME.

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...

The discovery was made in the Nile valley province of Minya south of Cairo, in an area known as al-kamin al-Sahrawi. The unearthed sarcophagi and clay fragments suggest that the area was a large necropolis from sometime between the 27th Dynasty and the Greco-Roman period. ----------------------------------------------------------------

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 ...
