Bhangarh ” The ‘most haunted’ place in India “

Bhangarh ” The story behind … most abandoned places in India “

How many of us believe in ghosts? Do they actually exist? Can they be felt? Believers will reply in affirmative and non-believers will perish the thought. But everybody would like to take a trip to THE den of the ghosts and such was the trip to Bhangarh, considered India’s “most haunted” place.

According to legend, the city of Bhangarh was cursed by the Baba Balnath. He had sanctioned the construction of the town on one condition, “The moment the shadows of your palaces touch me, the city shall be no more!” When a descendant prince raised the palace to a height that cast a shadow on Balanath’s forbidden retreat, he cursed the town. Balanath is said to be buried there to this day in a small samadhi.

Another myth is related to the Princess of Bhangarh, Ratnavati. She was believed to be the jewel of Rajasthan. On her eighteenth birthday she began to get offers of marriage from other regions (i.e. nobility). In Bhangarh lived a tantrik (wizard), a magician well versed in the occult, called Singhiya, who was in love with the princess but knew that the match was impossible. One day Singhiya saw the princess’s maid in the market and used his black magic on the scent she was purchasing so that upon touching it the princess would surrender herself to him. The princess, however, seeing the tantrik enchanting the scent, foiled his plan by pouring it on boulder which crushed Singhiya. Dying, the tantrik cursed the palace with the death of all who dwelt in it.^[6] The next year there was a battle between Bhangarh and Ajabgarh in which Princess Ratnavati perished. Legends says that there are ghosts of Singhiya and other locals in Bhangarh Fort and that is why entry is prohibited for tourists in the fort after sunset and before sunrise.^[6] The locals believe that the princess Ratnavati has taken birth somewhere else and that the fort and the empire of Bhangarh is waiting for her return to put an end to the curse.

16 Things You Should Know About India’s Soldiers Defending Siachen

The highest combat zone on planet earth, Siachen glacier is one place where fewer soldiers have died on the line duty due to enemy fire than because of the harsh weather conditions.

For Indian forces deployed in Siachen, it is less of a challenge to watch out for the frail Pakistani forces but to just stay atop this 76 kilometers long glacier at 5, 400 meters altitude (nearly twice the altitude of Ladakh and Kargil) in itself means you have to defy all of your physical, mental and spiritual limits.

You have to be a super soldier, a hero.

And that’s what each one of our soldiers out there at Siachen glacier and on posts at even greater heights really is!

1. In Siachen, you are at the risk of getting a deadly frostbite if your bare skin touches steel (gun trigger, for example) for just over fifteen seconds.

Merely touching the trigger or gun barrel with bare hands can be a mistake big enough to result in loss of toes or fingers.

For those who don’t know about frostbite – it’s a condition resulting from abrupt exposure to extreme cold that can leave amputation of fingers or toes as the only alternative. In extreme cases, these organs may just fall off.

2. Mountain climbers climb when the weather is at its best; soldiers serve in these treacherous terrains all year round.

Minus 60 degrees temperature and over 5,000 meters altitude; low atmospheric pressure and oxygen, well, you keep asking for more of it. There’s 10% of the amount of oxygen available in Siachen than it is in plains.

It’s the weather of the kind that us mortals aren’t simply designed to bear. Not for long and not without the great risk of losing eyes, hands or legs. But these men – they do it, every day.

Because every inch of this land belongs to India and they shall not cede it to some untrustworthy neighbors who no longer have a higher ground in Siachen.

3. The human body just cannot acclimatize over 5,400 meters

When you stay at that altitude for long, you lose your weight, don’t feel like eating, sleep disorders come around in no time and memory loss – that’s a common occurrence. Put simply, the body begins to deteriorate. That’s what happens at Siachen.

Yes, it is tough. But we cannot climb down because we cannot let the Pakistani Army climb up and take high ground.

4. Speech blurring is as obvious as toothpaste freezing in the tube

It’s fiercer than heaviest of gunfire any day. But our soldiers have taken up the challenge nonetheless.

5. Snowstorms in Siachen can last 3 weeks.

Winds here can cross the 100 mph limit in no time. The temperature can drop well below minus 60 degrees.

6. Yearly snowfall in Siachen can be well over 3 dozen feet

When snow storms come around, at least two to three soldiers have to keep using shovels (in snow storm). Else, the military post would become a history; in no time.

7. The 7^th Pay commission may consider the unique challenges faced by the army jawans who man the territory all through the year.

They should.

The forward areas in Jammu and Kashmir including Siachen were visited by the 7^thPay Commission in October, 2014.

8. Soldiers find ways to entertain themselves when they can.

We are, after all, a cricket crazy nation.

9. Fresh food – that’s rare. Very rare. At Siachen, an orange or an apple can freeze to the hardness of a cricket ball in no time.

Rations come out of tin cans.

10. Army pilots literally push their helicopters well beyond their optimal performance, every day!

They drop supplies at forward posts located at an altitude of more than 20 thousand feet.

Army pilots usually have less than a minute for dropping off the supplies at forward posts.

Pakistani army is merely few hundred meters away and so the choppers must fly off before the enemy guns open up.

11. In the last 30 years, 846 soldiers have sacrificed their lives at Siachen.

In case of Siachen, deaths due to extreme climate and beyond-imagination terrain conditions are treated as battle causalities and rightly so.

In last three years alone, 50 Indian soldiers have died in Siachen. These causalities as per the information made available by Defense Minister in Lok Sabha, were due to the very nature of the place our forces are serving. These soldiers sacrificed their lives on the line of duty while combating the floods, avalanches and floods in Siachen.

12. A War Memorial at the Bank of Nubra River has the names of Indian soldiers who laid their lives in Siachen.

13. Local saying: “The land is so barren and the passes so high that only the best of friends and fiercest of enemies come by.’

14. In Siachen, the Indian Army spends as much as 80% of its time preparing soldiers of deployment.

15. “We do the difficult as a routine. The impossible may take a little longer”

— So reads a plaque at the headquarters of the Indian Army formation responsible for security of the Siachen sector in Jammu and Kashmir.

16. When you go home, tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow we gave our today.

Nature’s Marvel: Living Root bridges of Cherrapunji – Meghalaya

On listening to the word ‘bridge’, we all form an image of a well structured iron bridge in our minds. But ever heard of natural bridges? Well here’s an interesting example of a natural living bridge.

 

Cherrapunji, a town in North-East India, which is known to be the second wettest place on earth, is also known for its living bridges. Here the bridges aren’t built but grown. The living bridges are made from the roots of Ficus elastica tree whose secondary roots grow above the ground surface. 

Long ago, War-Khasis, a tribe of Meghalaya, used this tree to cross rivers. Using the same technique, villagers of Cherrapunji grow their own bridges whenever required. The villagers have created a root-guiding system that forces the tender roots of the rubber tree to grow straight. Such roots make a strong, living bridge in about 10-15 years.

 

Unlike the conventional man-made bridges which grow weak over time, these living bridges gain strength over time. Some of these bridges are more than five hundred (500) years old and can support 50 people at a time. A unique bridge called Umshiang Double-Decker Root Bridge is believed to be only one of its kinds in the whole world. It is actually a combination of two bridges, one stacked on top of the other.

A Man Who Survived Without Food And Water For 70 Years !!

It has been believed that food and water are the basic necessities of life. But this fact has been proven wrong by an 82 year old man named Prahlad Jani, who claimed to survive without food and water for 70 years.

He claimed to have left home at the age of 7 (seven) and lived as a holy man in Rajasthan, India. He believed that he had been sustained by a Goddess who poured an ‘elixir’ through a hole in his palate.

This man was regarded as a ‘breatharian’ who can live on a ‘spiritual life-force’ alone. His claims had also been supported by an Indian doctor who specialized in studies of people who claimed supernatural abilities. Though, he had been dismissed as a ‘village fraud’ by others.

Image Source

 

Mr Prahlad Jani was held in isolation in a hospital in Ahemdabad, Gujrat where he was closely monitored by India’s defense research organization. It is the organization which develops drone aircraft, intercontinental ballistic missiles and new types of bombs. The scientists in the organization believed that Mr.Prahlad could teach them to help soldiers survive longer without food, or disaster victims to endure until help arrives.

According to Dr G Ilavazhagan, director of the Defence Institute of Physiology & Allied Sciences, if the claims made by this man were verified, it will be a breakthrough in medical science as they’ll then be able to teach people to live longer and survive situations of adversity during natural disasters, high altitude, sea journeys and other natural and human extremities, where there is little or no food and water.

When under observation, Mr. Prahlad stood up to the scrutiny and had not eaten or drunk any fluids for six continuous days and hence had not passed urine or stool in that time. He remained fit and had shown no signs of lethargy. In future, doctors had expected to see some muscle wastage, serious dehydration, weight loss and fatigue followed by organ failure.

According to Dr. Sudhir Shah, who had examined him in 2003, Mr.Prahlad had gone without food and water for ten days, in which his urine had appeared to be reabsorbed by his body after forming in his bladder. Since his weight had felt only slightly at the end of ten days, doubts had been expressed about his claim.

 It is common in India for Jains and Hindus to fast up to 8 (eight) days, as part of their religious worship. Facts have that most humans cannot survive without food for 50 days. Although the longest hunger strike recorded is 74 days.

Mystery Of Hundreds Of Human Skeletons Found Near A Lake In India Solved

British Guards in Roopkund, India, made a discovery in 1942, involving a frozen lake more than three miles above sea level. What made this discovery so unusual was that the lake was surrounded by hundreds of skeletons… human skeletons. When the ice melted during the summer, more remains were uncovered floating in the water and laying around the edges of the lake. Because this was during World War II, some feared that the skeletons were of Japanese soldiers who had died while sneaking through India, causing the British government to send a team of investigators to determine the truth. Their fears of a Japanese land invasion were discovered to be unnecessary, though, when their examinations turned up evidence of the bones being much older. After dubbing the lake“Skeleton Lake”, many theories to explain the phenomenon surfaced, including epidemic, landslide, and ritual suicide. These theories held sway for nearly six decades, without any real light upon the mystery.

Image source: www.dailymail.co.uk

It wouldn’t be until 2004 that a scientific team in league with National Geographic Magazine retrieved about thirty skeletons, some with flesh and hair still attached. With these, they began to uncover the truth, and their answers startled them. For starters, all of the bodies dated to roughly 850 AD. Two distinct groups of people emerged from the DNA evidence: one of a family, tribe, or closely related individuals, and a smaller secondary group. With the uncover of rings, wooden artifacts, iron spearheads, leather shoes, and staves of bamboo, experts came to believe that the group was made up of pilgrims heading through the valley, being assisted by local porters. Roopkund, being surrounded by rock-strewn glaciers and snow clad mountains, makes for a good trekking destination. A local legend says that the king of Kanauj, Raja Jasdhaval, along with his pregnant wife, servants, dance troupe and others went on the pilgrimage to Nanda Devi shrine. Even today, pilgrims attend the Nanda Devi Raj Jat that takes place once very twelve years at Roopkund, during which the Goddess Nanda is worshipped.

Further analysis of the skulls showed that the people died from similar methods, irrespective of their stature or position… by blows to the head. However, because of the cracks in the skulls, it was determined that these killing blows were caused not by weapons, but by something round. Further inspection of the head and shoulders provided proof that the blows came from above, leaving scientists to come to one singular unexpected conclusion: the hundreds of travelers died from an unexpected, freakish hailstorm. While hail is rarely lethal, these ninth century travelers could not escape the sudden onslaught of these “rock-like spheres of ice” without shelter, which they lacked. It is said among Himalayan women that there is an ancient and traditional folk song that describe a goddess so enraged at outsiders who deviled her mountain sanctuary that she would rain death upon them by throwing hailstones as hard as iron. There may be some truth to this legend, as nearly twelve hundred years after this unusual storm, the green-tinged bones of the hail victims were left to circle the lake, preserved along with their shoes.

Revolutionary Breakthrough As Indian Scientists Converted Plastic Wastes Into High-grade Petrol And Diesel

Soon, India will be able to convert their plastic waste into diesel and petrol. This is thanks to a great breakthrough by Dehradun-based Indian Institute of Petroleum (IIP) researchers. The IIP, which is a constituent lab of the Scientific and Industrial Research Council, has developed technology that converts plastic waste to petroleum products. Green technology is currently only available in Japan, Germany and US. The UK and Australia are still trying to work on it.

Image Source: www.dailymail.co.uk

This technology uses a combination of suitable catalysts to convert plastic into diesel, gasoline or aromatics. LPG is also produced as a by-product. The IIP Director, M.O Garg says that the fuels obtained (diesel and gasoline) through the process the technology employs, are of very high quality and meet Euro-III standards. Almost nil sulphur content is used and the diesel obtained by using this process is of very high quality. It will also vastly reduce engine emissions according to officials. If an engine is run on this fuel, the vehicle will be able to run for at least two more kilometers per litre than when it uses ordinary diesel.

“We have applied for a patent. We developed this after nearly a decade of intensive research. We are now planning to commercialize the technology although we are still engaged in the process of engineering to design heavy machinery and processes,” Garg told Mail Today. “The current prices of petrol, which is derived from crude hydrocarbons, range between Rs 70 to Rs 80 per litre. Petrol in this case costs Rs 30 to Rs 40 per litre, inclusive of the cost of plant, operations, manpower and land cost. There is a mammoth amount of solid waste generated in the country. It could be procured at a minuscule cost.” 

This fuel will be ideal for users like state road corporations, railways and the defense establishment. As long as the effective implementation and enforcement of hazardous wastes (management and handling)Rules of 1989 is absent, handling of plastic waste in the country will continuously be a major challenge. If this technology is commercially implemented, India’s hazardous plastic waste problem will considerably be addressed.
