Where people believe that advice based on supernatural knowledge is specific to them. In reality, it is general information which applies to everyone.

The first question will come to your mind is what is the Chagos Archipelago. Let's simplify this, Archipelago word stands for a group of Islands or a chain of Islands. So the Chagos Archipelago is a group of seven atolls comprising more than 60 Islands in the Indian Ocean about 500 kilometers south of the Maldives. The Chagos Archipelago had been part of Mauritius since the 18th century. Before Mauritian independence in 1965, The United Kingdom split the Archipelago from the territory of Mauritius. Why the United Kingdom did this, to form the British Territory in the Indian Ocean.   And also UK permitted  USA to use Diego Gracia (an Island)  for their defense purposes. These 50 years of the lease completed in 2016. What should the United Kingdom do after completing the 50 years? The United Kingdom should give the land back to Mauritius. But still today the United Kingdom is having the Archipelago on an extended lease. And Mauritius is demanding the

An American tourist John Allen Chow has been killed by the Sentinelese tribes. A tribe who populate the North Sentinel Island. Shocking, Isn't it? Let's go deep in this matter, there is an island, out of bounds, an isolated island in the Andaman and Nicobar Island chain, which is to be called the Sentinel Island. The tribes living here from ages are to be called Sentinelese Tribe. The people rooted from this tribe, they do not like stranger's trespassing to their zone, which is the inner part of the Sentinel Island. In the year 2006, two fishermen vanished from that area too and now an American tourist who is killed with an arrow. The FIR has been filed in Chennai by the US consulate regarding John Allen Chow, who is gone missing.

I think it was couple of weeks ago the entire world was talking about China creating an artificial moon. Well, now forget the artificial moon, China is developing artificial sun. https://www.indiatoday.in/education-today/gk-current-affairs/story/how-china-s-artificial-sun-is-an-efficient-alternative-to-our-sun-1392273-2018-11-20 So China really truly creating an artificial moon to put up in the sky and they are also working on an artificial sun. China is pushing ahead with a lot of these things. So the question arises here, Is it good to create an artificial moon or sun? Well, the answer is quite simple if we see this fake sun as an artificial energy source then it's not bad. Why am I calling it an energy source? Because this artificial Sun is producing around 100 million degrees Celcius (10 crores degrees Celsius), and on the other hand the actual sun reaches about 15 million degrees Celsius (15 lacs degrees Celcius). So This artificial sun i

There were so many factors which lead to this controversial Emergency. 26 June 1975, President Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed proclaimed emergency which is imposed by the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Now, on what bases this emergency imposed by Mrs. Indira Gandhi? So the answer Mrs. Indira Gandhi gave was because of internal disturbance, which was not even close to the real reason. So what were the reasons? During the last five years, from 1970 onwards so many Supreme court decisions were against the central government, cases like Privy purse, Gokalnath, and Keshavnanda Bharti Case. https://bewonk.blogspot.com/2018/11/kesavnanda-bharti-vs-state-of-kerala.html The JP movement, led by the freedom fighter Jay Prakash Narayan. In the JP Movement, two states were involved which are Gujrat and Bihar, where all the students were opposing the state government in the year 1974-75.

Swami Keshavnanda Bharti was the senior head of Edneer Mutt in Kerala, and Kerala Government attempted to control religiously owned property. By two-state land reforms act, Kerala government wants the right to manage the religiously owned property. And on the other hand, The Indian Constitution gives the authority to manage any religious property ( temple, mosque, mutt etc) to any trust, mentioned in article 26. Now, what the Kerala Government did, It created restrictions in article 26 to gain the authority to manage religious property. Advocate Nanabhoy Palkhiwala convinced Swami Keshavnanda Bharti to file a petition under Article 26. After filing the petition, this case of the Kerala Government violating article 26, went to the Supreme Court after some hearings in The Kerala High Court. In the Supreme Court, after 68 days of the hearing, The biggest bench was constituted in this case, a total of 13 judges. In the final verdict, out of 13 judges

We all know about the Babri Mosque and the Lord Ram temple issue. But there was another incident which happened and somehow this incident related to the Babri Mosque and the Lord Ram temple issue.  Hashimpur Massacre, This incident took place during the 1987 communal riots. These communal riots were started due to the Babri Mosque and the Lord Ram temple issue. On 22 May 1987, the total number of 50 young people were rounded up by the Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) from the Hashimpura locality in Meerut city. After that, these 50 people were taken to an outer area from the city in a truck. 45 people out of 50 were shot dead by the PAC, only 5 people, survived this heinous act of  PAC. These 5 survivors who were also the eyewitness of this heinous crime, filed the FIR.   Why the victims were taken to an isolated area instead of the Police Station.

What is Hambantota? It's a place. Ok, where is it? Srilanka. Why we are talking about Hambantota? We need to know about Hambantota because it's related to India. Hambantota port is a financial disaster for Srilanka, then why the Srilankan government made this port while they are having years Colombo port, which is capable of current transportation and import-export. There was not a need for another port, then why Hambantota port was made by the huge amount of money borrowed from China. And, why China provided 13 billion dollars to the Srilankan Government. Well, this all started in the year 2007, when China showed their interest in Hambantota by signing a twinning agreement. So according to this agreement, Hambantota is twinned with Guangzhou ( City in China). Twinned with Guangzhou means Hambantota will be developed like a twin town idealizing Guangzhou. In the year 2009, the war between LTTE and the Srilankan army had ended, Mr. Mahindra Rajpa

The complication of Rafale Deal came to limelight when Congress President Rahul Gandhi raised questions related to Rafale deal in the Indian parliament. So let's start from the beginning, In the year 2001, Indian Air force demanded medium multi-role combat aircraft from Indian Government.

So according to the business golden rule, who can hit the lowest bid, Dassault Aviation won. So the estimated cost was 54 thousand crore for 1

You all would be thinking about any particular burning issue which is currently going on in India, such as CBI issue, Lord Ram temple in Utter Pradesh etc. But let me clear the fog of confusion here, it's section 377. Yes and I am not whispering, I am saying it loud by writing about it. Now India joins 125 nations where homosexuality is legal. The Supreme Court decriminalised intercourse between two persons of the same gender. Still, in 72 countries, same gender sex is illegal. But according to the majority, these countries should also decriminalise homosexuality, It's just my saying, no offence but they should. Because why would any country's higher authority care about who is having sex with who, again no offence. Section 377 is a  boost to the LGBT community. Now most of us are like, ok I know homosexuality but is this LGBT community. So let me Explain that for you, LGBT is an acronym where L stands for Lesbian, G for Gay, B fo
