                        National Game



Name: Field Hockey

Number of players in the team: 11 on the field; 16 on the roaster

Number of Olympic Gold Medals: 08

Number of World Cup Wins: 01

Number of Commonwealth Games Wins: 01

Governing Body: Hockey India.


The national sport of a country is either designated on the basis of the popularity of a game in that country, or on the basis of its historical connect from that country. Its national game status may also rise from the fact that the sport in question has a long standing rich legacy for that particular country. The most obvious reason for designating a sport as the national sport of the country is this obvious association of pride that it evokes in the hearts of the countrymen.


Field Hockey is considered as the national game of India. The game can either be played on a grass field or on the turf, a specially made mat-like material. India’s performance in Hockey at various international forums was phenomenal during 1920-1950’s period and that was probably why the sport became accepted as national sport in the country.

History

It is probably one of the most ancient games played in today’s time. The simplistic sport of guiding a ball with the help of a stick has been around even 1200 years before the start of the ancient Games of Olympia in Greece. There are numerous variations of this game played through ages by almost all major races in the world.

The earliest mention of the present day game dates back to 1527, when the Galway Statutes in Scotland prohibited the game of 'hokie'- the hurling of little ball with the aid of sticks or staves. The current accepted version of the game of Field Hockey was developed by the British in the 19th century as a popular school game. The London Hockey association was established in the 1921 and the rules were consolidated. The International Hockey Federation was founded in 1924 taking the predominantly British game to the world.

The game was introduced in India by the British during the Raj. The first hockey club in India was established in Calcutta in 1855. The Bengal Hockey was the first hockey association in India and was founded in 1908. India competed in Olympics held in Amsterdam for the first time in 1928.

Rules 


For long the game was played in two halves, 35 minutes each but the rules changed in 2014 when 4 halves of 15 minutes each were introduced. with a 2-minute break after every period. There are 11 players to a side among whom 10 are on the field and one is the goal-keeper. Each player has a hockey stick, 150-200 cm long slender shaft, ending in a flattened extension known as the blade. Maximum permitted weight of the hockey stick is 737 grams. The ball is small and made of hard plastic. The stick is flat on the playing side and is generally made of hickory or mulberry wood. The objective of the game is to hit, dribble and push the ball around the field and attempt to shoot it past the goalkeeper into the goal. The field players are not allowed to hold, kick or carry the ball. The game begins with a center pass and the sides are revered after the first half. In order to qualify as a goal, the scoring shot must be taken from within the striking circle. Two on field umpires officiate the match and monitor the play closely for any misconduct or rule-breaking.


Legacy

The Indian Hockey Federation was established in 1925 and the Indian hockey took its first international trip to New Zealand where they played 21 matches, won 18, lost 1 and drew 2 among them. This trip marked the emergence of the legendary Dhyanchand.

Indian hockey team’s stellar performances in the Olympic Games became the focal point of national pride. In the first year of participation, in 1928, Indian Hockey team won Olympic gold medal for the country. Between 1928 and 1956, the Indian Hockey Team won six consecutive Olympic Gold Medals, won 24 consecutive matches scoring 178 goals while conceding only 7 in their half. The members of the Olympic team were Richard Allen, Dhyan Chand, Michael Gately, William Goodsir- Cullen, Leslie Hammond, Feroze Khan, Santosh Manglani, George Marthins, Rex Norris, Broome Pinninger, Michael Rocque, Frederick Seaman,Shaukat Ali, Jaipal Singh, Kher Singh Gill. This was termed as the golden era of Indian Hockey. India’s winning streak ended in the 1960 Rome Olympics when the team lost 0-1 to the Pakistan Hockey team in the finals.


The team again won gold medal in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and 1980 Moscow Olympics. There were sporadic bronze medal wins and several under achievement. Post 1980, Indian Hockey team’s performance in the Olympics has deteriorated and they have been unable to bring any medals back home. Indian Men’s Hockey team was the winner of the Hockey World Cup in 1975 held in Kualalampur, Malaysia. The Indian Women’s Hockey team won Gold medal in the 2002 Commonwealth Games held in Manchester, England.


Is Hockey Really The National Game of India – The Controversy!


For a long time, hockey was considered the national sport of India owing to its stellar performances in the Olympic Games. But in August 2012, the Union ministry of Youth Affairs declared that India does not have a game that has been officially designated as its National game. This was in response to a Right to Information (RTI) filed by Aishwarya Parashar, a 10 year old girl from Lucknow who wanted to know the exact year the government adopted hockey as the country’s national game. The Union ministry of Youth Affairs reverted back to her saying that they could not find any official mandate declaring the national game status of Hockey. This comes as a shock to many as the sport has been widely accepted as the national game of the country, even on the Government of India website!.

A particular fruit is designated as the national fruit of a country when it fulfills some key fundamental requirements. It must represent a powerful facet of the cultural attributes that a country wants to convey to the world. The fruit must have an enriching part in the country’s history. It should also have a considerable presence in the religious and spiritual heritage of the country. Mango, affectionately called King of Fruits is the National fruit of India.

As the national fruit of India it represents prosperity, abundance and richness in favor of the country’s image.

Mango is one of the most widely grown fruits of the tropical countries. In India, mango is cultivated almost in all parts, with the exception of hilly areas. Mango is a rich source of Vitamins A, C and D. In India, we have hundreds of varieties of mangoes. They are of different sizes, shapes and colors. Mangoes have been cultivated in India since time immemorial. Even in our mythology and history there are stories of mangoes- the famous Indian poet Kalidasa sang its praise. Alexander the great, along with Hieun Tsang savored the taste of mangoes. The great Mughal king, Akbar is said to have planted over 100,000 mango trees in Darbhanga (modern Bihar). The mango is eaten ripe and is also used for pickles.

Family:            Anacardiaceae

Genus:            Mangifera

Species:          Mangifera Indica



History

The pleasures of mango and its divine flavor have been known to Indians from a very early age. Fossil evidence traces back the appearance of mango in India, Bangladesh and Myanmar to 25-30 million years ago. It is referred to in Vedic scriptures like Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, the Puranas, Rasala and Sahakara. The importance of mangoes in Buddhism was underlined by the fact that Lord Buddha chose to rest under the shade of a mango tree and Buddhist monks carried mangoes with them everywhere. Alexander the Great is said to have returned to Europe with several varieties of the fruit. Foreign travellers like Megasthenes and Hsiun-Tsang heavily praised the taste of the fruit and mentioned that Mango trees were planted by Indian rulers on the side of the roads as a symbol of prosperity.

Distribution

Indian Mango or Mangifera indica is native to Southern Asia, particularly India, Bangladesh and Myanmar. Buddhist monks are believed to have introduced the fruit to southeast Asian countries like Malaysia and China around 4th century B.C. Since then it has been introduced to East Africa by the Persians, and to West Africa and Brazil by the Portuguese.

The Mano Tree, Leaves & Fruit

The mango trees are medium to large in size ranging between 10-40 m in height. They are evergreen with large symmetrically round canopy with an average diameter of 10 m. Bark is dark brown in color. Leaves are elongated and 15-45 cm in length. Upper surface is dark green with a waxy layer while the underside is pale green in color. The leaves are arranged very closely together and appear to be bunched in groups of 5 or more. Flowers are produced in terminal panicles which are about 20 cm in length. Flowers are white in color, small with 5-10 mm long petals and with a sweet odour. Unripe fruits are generally green in color but the color of the ripe fruits vary and ranges from green to yellow to orange to red. The fruits are oblong in shape and are fleshy drupes. The length of the fruit varies from 25-40 cm. Each fruit carries a flattened pit that is oval in shape and is generally fused with the flesh by means of fibrous protrusions. The pit carries the plant embryo which is recalcitrant in nature.


Cultivation

India leads the production of mangoes in the world with almost half the total production. In Europe, it is grown in Andalusia, Spain. In the USA, mangoes are cultivated in South Florida and California regions. The Caribbean Islands also see considerable cultivation of mangoes. In India, Andhra Pradesh state leads in production of mangoes.

Mango is generally cultivated in tropical and warmer sub-tropical climates, upto an altitude of 1400 m from sea level. Humidity, rain and frost during flowering adversely affect the productivity of mangoes. Wet monsoon and dry summer is ideal for mango cultivation. Mango trees prefer slightly acidic soil with pH ranging from 5.5-7.5.  They can grow well in well-drained laterite and alluvial soil which is at least 15.24 cm deep.

Vegetative method of cultivation is preferred by farmers and techniques like inarching, veneer grafting and epicotyl grafting are employed. Well-nourished plants start bearing fruits after 3-5 years of planting, depending on the type of cultivar. Fruits are harvested between early February to August for most cultivars. Shelf life of mango fruits is short - about 2-3 weeks, hence they are stored in low temperatures of 12-13°C.

In India, around 1500 varieties of mangoes are cultivated among which 1000 are of commercial value. The most popular and well known among these are Bombai, Himsagar and Kesar from early season, Alphonso, Banganapalli and Langra from mid-season, Fazli, Neelum and Chausa from late season. Several hybrid varieties have also been introduced, eg: Amrapali (Dashheri x Neelum) and Arka Aruna (Alphonso x Banganapalli).




Nutrition Value

Ripe mangoes are generally sweet although some varieties can retain a sour taste even after ripening. The texture of the flesh varies across cultivars as well ranging between soft pulpy and firm or fibrous. Sour unripe mangoes are used in wide varieties of pickles and chutneys or may be eaten raw with salt and chilli. Drinks like aam panna and aamras are made from the pulps of raw and ripe mango respectively. Ripe mango pulp is used in making a number of desserts like mango kulfi, ice creams and sorbets.

Mangoes are a rich source of anti-oxidants like quercetin, astragalin and gallic acid that have been proven to fight against certain types of cancers. High levels of fiber, pectin and vitamin C helps lower low-density Lipoprotein levels in blood. Mango pulp is rich source of vitamin A that helps improve vision. Mango fruits have low glycemic index and are fit to be consumed by diabetics. The abundance of vitamins and carotenoids present in mango pulp helps boost the immune system. Consumption of mangoes is associated with decreased risk of muscle degeneration as well as asthma.



Economic Value

Mangoes are the most widely cultivated fruit in India. Wood from the mango tree is used for producing low cost furniture, packing cases etc. Tannin derived from the bark is used in leather industry. Although India leads the production of mangoes, most of it are consumed by the country’s population itself and only a small percentage is exported.

Cultural Context

From ancient times, mangoes have been granted a special position in India. The fruit is heavenly in taste and is termed as ‘Food of the Gods’. It is a source of celebration among people from all social backgrounds. A perfectly ripe mango symbolizes attainment and prosperity. Mangoes are also representative of the country’s gift to the world. Jain Goddess Ambika is depicted to be sitting under a mango tree. Mango blossoms are an integral part of Saraswati worship. Mango leaves are considered auspicious and five mango leaves joined together is a mandatory component of Hindu Rituals.

                          National flag



The National Flag is a horizontal tricolour of deep saffron (kesaria) at the top, white in the middle and dark green at the bottom in equal proportion. The ratio of width of the flag to its length is two to three. In the centre of the white band is a navy-blue wheel which represents the chakra.
The top saffron colour, indicates the strength and courage of the country. The white middle band indicates peace and truth with Dharma Chakra. The green shows the fertility, growth and auspiciousness of the land.
Its design is that of the wheel which appears on the abacus of the Sarnath Lion Capital of Ashoka. Its diameter approximates to the width of the white band and it has 24 spokes. The design of the National Flag was adopted by the Constituent Assembly of India on 22 July 1947.
It is really amazing to see the various changes that our National Flag went through since its first inception. It was discovered or recognised during our national struggle for freedom. The evolution of the Indian National Flag sailed through many vicissitudes to arrive at what it is today.

So Friend's Today  Read About Chittorgarh Fort in Rajasthan India


                              Chittorgarh

चित्तौड़गढ़ राजस्थान का एक शहर है। यह शूरवीरों का शहर है जो पहाड़ी पर बने दुर्ग के लिए प्रसिद्ध है। चित्तौड़गढ़ की प्राचीनता का पता लगाना कठिन कार्य है, किंतु माना जाता है कि महाभारत काल में महाबली भीम ने अमरत्व के रहस्यों को समझने के लिए इस स्थान का दौरा किया और एक पंडित को अपना गुरु बनाया, किंतु समस्त प्रक्रिया को पूरी करने से पहले अधीर होकर वह अपना लक्ष्य नहीं पा सका और प्रचंड गुस्से में आकर उसने अपना पांव जोर से जमीन पर मारा जिससे वहां पानी का स्रोत फूट पड़ा, पानी का यह कुंड भीम ताल कहा जाता है। बाद में यह स्थान मौर्य अथवा मूरी राजपूतों के अधीन आ गया, इसमें भिन्न-भिन्न राय हैं कि यह मेवाड़ शासकों के अधीन कब आया, किंतु राजधानी को उदयपुर ले जाने से पहले 1568 तक चित्तौड़गढ़ मेवाड़ की राजधानी रहा।

यह माना जाता है कि सिसौदिया वंश के महान संस्थापक बप्पा रावल ने 8वीं शताब्दी के मध्य में अंतिम सोलंकी राजकुमारी से विवाह करने पर चित्तौढ़ को दहेज के एक भाग के रूप में प्राप्त किया था, बाद में उसके वंशजों ने मेवाड़ पर शासन किया जो 16वीं शताब्दी तक गुजरात से अजमेर तक फैल चुका था।

अजमेर से खंडवा जाने वाली ट्रेन के द्वारा रास्ते के बीच स्थित चित्तौरगढ़ जंक्शन से करीब २ मील उत्तर-पूर्व की ओर एक अलग पहाड़ी पर भारत का गौरव, राजपूताने का सुप्रसिद्ध चित्तौड़गढ़ का किला बना हुआ है। समुद्र तल से १३३८ फीट ऊँची भूमि पर स्थित ५०० फीट ऊँची एक विशाल ह्मवेल आकार में, पहाड़ी पर निर्मित्त इसका दुर्ग लगभग ३ मील लंबा और आधे मील तक चौड़ा है। पहाड़ी का घेरा करीब ८ मील का है तथा यह कुल ६०९ एकड़ भूमि पर बसा है।

चित्तौड़गढ़, वह वीरभूमि है, जिसने समूचे भारत के सम्मुख शौर्य, देशभक्ति एवं बलिदान का अनूठा उदाहरण प्रस्तुत किया। यहाँ के असंख्य राजपूत वीरों ने अपने देश तथा धर्म की रक्षा के लिए असिधारारुपी तीर्थ में स्नान किया। वहीं राजपूत वीरांगनाओं ने कई अवसर पर अपने सतीत्व की रक्षा के लिए अपने बाल-बच्चों सहित जौहर की अग्नि में प्रवेश कर आदर्श उपस्थित किये। इन स्वाभिमानी देशप्रेमी योद्धाओं से भरी पड़ी यह भूमि पूरे भारत वर्ष के लिए प्रेरणा स्रोत बनकर रह गयी है। यहाँ का कण-कण हममें देशप्रेम की लहर पैदा करता है। यहाँ की हर एक इमारतें हमें एकता का संकेत देती हैं।

 Jaisalmer Fort



जैसलमेर किला थार मरुस्थल के त्रिकुटा पर्वत पर खड़ा है और यहाँ काफी इतिहासिक लड़ाईयां भी हुई है. किले में भारी पीले रंग के बलुआ पत्थरो की दीवारे बनी है. दिन के समय सूरज की रौशनी में इस किले की दीवारे हल्के सुनहरे रंग की दिखती है. इसी कारण से यह किला सोनार किला या गोल्डन फोर्ट के नाम से भी जाना जाता है. यह किला शहर के बीचो बिच बना हुआ है और जैसलमेर की इतिहासिक धरोहर के रूप में लोग उस किले को देखने आते है.

2013 में कोलंबिया, फ्नोम पेन्ह में हुई 37 वी वर्ल्ड हेरिटेज समिति में राजस्थान के 5 दुसरे किलो के साथ जैसलमेर किले को भी यूनेस्को वर्ल्ड हेरिटेज साईट में शामिल किया गया.


जैसलमेर किला 1156 CE में रावल जैसल ने बनवाया था. जैसल गौर के सुल्तान द्वारा बनाये षड्यंत्र में फस गया ताकि वह उसके प्रदेश को अपने भतीजे भोजदेव से बचा सके. किले की एक और महत्वपूर्ण घटना 1276 में घटी जब जेत्सी के राजा ने दिल्ली के सुल्तान से परेशान होकर उसपर आक्रमण किया. 56 दुर्ग की चढ़ाई 3700 सैनिको ने की थी. आक्रमण के 8 सालो बाद सुल्तान की आर्मी ने महल का विनाश कर दिया. उस समय भाटियो ने किले को नियंत्रित किया लेकिन उनके पास ताकत का कोई साधन नही था. 1306 में दोदू द्वारा बलपूर्वक राठौर को बाहर निकालने की बहादुरी के लिये उन्हें ही किले का रावल चुना गया. और तभी से उन्होंने किले का निर्माण करना शुरू किया. लेकिन रावल मुग़ल साम्राज्य के हमलो को सहन नही कर सका और परिणामस्वरूप 1570 में वह अकबर की शरण में चला गया और अपनी बेटी का विवाह भी उससे करा दिया.

मध्यकाल में पर्शिया, अरबिया, इजिप्त और अफ्रीका से व्यापार करते हुए इस शहर ने मुख्य भूमिका निभाई थी. किले में दीवारों की 3 परते है. किले की बाहरी और निचली परत ठोस पत्थरो से बनी हुई है. दूसरी और बिच वाली परत किले के चारो तरह साँप के आकार में बनी हुई है. एक बार राजपुरो दे दीवारों के beech से अपने दुश्मनों के उपर उबला हुआ पानी और तेल फेका था और दूसरी और तीसरी दीवार के बिच उन्हें घेर लिया था. इस प्रकार किले की सुरक्षा के लिये कुल 99 दुर्ग बनाये गये थे जिनमे से 92 दुर्ग 1633 से 1647 के बीच बनाये गये थे.

13 वी शताब्दी में अलाउद्दीन खिलजी ने किले पर आक्रमण किया और उसे हासिल कर लिया और 9 साल तक उसने किले को अपने नियंत्रण में ही रखा. किले की घेराबंदी के समय राजपूत महिलाओ ने अपनेआप को जौहर में समर्पित किया. किले की दूसरी लड़ाई 1541 में हुई थी जब मुग़ल शासक हुमायूँ ने जैसलमेर पर हमला किया था.

1762 तक किले पर मुग़लों का ही नियंत्रण था इसके बाद में किले को महारावल मूलराज ने नियंत्रित किया. किला एकांत जगह पर बसा होने के कारण किले ने मराठाओ के इंतकाम का बचाव किया. पूर्व भारतीय कंपनी और मूलराज के बीच 12 दिसम्बर 1818 को हुए समझौते के कारण राजा को ही किले का उत्तराधिकारी माना गया और आक्रमण के समय उन्हें सुरक्षा भी प्रदान की जाती थी. 1820 में मूलराज की मृत्यु के बाद उनके पोते गज सिंह ने शासन को अपने हाथो में ले लिया.

ब्रिटिश नियमो के आते ही बॉम्बे बंदरगाह पर समुद्री व्यापार की शुरुवात हुई, इससे बॉम्बे का तो विकास हुआ लेकिन जैसलमेर की आर्थिक स्थिति नाजुक होती गयी. स्वतंत्रता और भारत के विभाजन के बाद प्राचीन व्यापार यंत्रणा पूरी तरह से बंद हो चुकी थी. लेकिन फिर 1965 और 1971 में भारत-पकिस्तान युद्ध के समय जैसलमेर किले ने अपनी महानता को प्रमाणित किया था. जैसलमेर किला इतना विशाल है की वहा की पूरी जनता उस किले के अन्दर रह सकती है और आज भी वहा 4000 लोग रहते है जिनमे से बहोत से ब्राह्मण और दरोगा समुदाय के है. ये लोग भाटी शासको की निगरानी में काम करते थे और तभी से वे उसी किले में रह रहे है. लेकिन फिर जैसे-जैसे जैसलमेर की जनसंख्या बढती गयी वैसे-वैसे लोग त्रिकुटा पर्वत के निचे भी रहने लगे थे.

जैसलमेर किले का आर्किटेक्चर – Jaisalmer Fort

यह किला 1500 फीट (460 मी.) लंबा और 750 फीट (230 मी.) चौड़ा है और 250 फीट (76 मी.) ऊँचे पर्वत पर बना हुआ है. किले का तहखाना 15 फीट लंबा है. किले के दुर्ग ने तक़रीबन 30 फीट की एक श्रुंखला बनायी है. शहर से किले के कुल चार प्रवेश द्वार है, जिनमे से एक द्वार पर तोपे भी लगी हुई है –

राज महल (रॉयल पैलेस)
लक्ष्मीनाथ मंदिर
4 विशाल प्रवेश द्वार
व्यापारी हवेली.
राजस्थानी शहरो के धनि व्यापारियों ने बड़ी-बड़ी हवेलियाँ भी बनवायी है. जिनमे से कुछ हवेलियाँ तो एक दशक से भी ज्यादा पुरानी है. जैसलमेर शहर में पीले पत्थरो से बनी ऐसी कई विशाल और सुन्दर हवेलियाँ है. इसमें से कुछ हवेलियों में बहोत सी मंजिले और अनगिनत कमरे भी है, साथ ही हवेलियों की खिडकियों को भी राजेशाही अंदाज़ में सजाया !
