Q1 Which are the 8 livingroyals of India that you probablydon't know about? A1 Gautham Krishnan 3-7-2021 "History Enthusiast" -Blogger - UPSC CSE Aspirant The royal families lineage still living - Not ruling any territory buthave attained the level of Royalty. Ancient India was ruled by many kings and queens be it a small or large dominion,India wasn't a democratic country that was made a few decades ago but It hasbeen democratic in Ancient India too. Now the people elect the government andthe leader rules the nation, later in ancient India, most of the dynasties wereautocratic where after the father the eldest prince was chosen as the King. Though being autocratic whilechoosing the king but the rule was absolutely Democratic where Kings and Queensappointed the Council of Ministers and executives under them to look aftertheir Kingdom. The lineage of every kingdom is present in Modern 21st Century India, some are living the same lavishlife while some are not in the same status, while some know who were their descendants while some have lost theirroots. Royal Families that still exist in India are the: Mewar Dynasty-The Wodeyar Dynasty Gaekwads of Baroda-Nawab of Pataudi. Well, the above dynasty is whatI am aware of who have attained the royalty levels but do not rule any dominion In my opinion, the Only Dynasty whose kings and queens not only attainedthe Royalty Levels butalso Indirectly have a stronghold in their respective Kingdom is The MysuruWodeyar Dynasty One of the oldest and strongest in Karnataka who ruled Mysore from 1399to 1947, they ruled for over 500 years extending over five centuries which washeaded by 25 kings. The only kingdom which still has a King, Queen and Prince from over 500years the kingdom has been ruled by 25 kings. In 1761 Hyder Ali the commander in chief of the Wodeyar dynasty took overthe throne and ruled and later his son Tippu Sultan Succeededd Hyder Ali. Afterthe death of Tippu Sultan in the “Fourth Anglo-Mysore War” he was defeated bythe British in 1799. Laterthe Wodeyars were restored by the British from 1799 to 1947. Mysuru Dasara and Wodeyars The most famous Mysuru Dasara - the state festival of Karnataka which iscelebrated in the City of Mysore even now for 10 days which is also called asNavarathri, festival denotes the Victory of Truth over Evil, it was the Day GoddessChamundeshwari killed the Demon Mahishasura. Wodeyars took charge of continuing the celebration of Dasara after thefall of the Vijayanagara Kingdom, the festivities began with the Wodeyar RoyalCouple performing a special pooja to Goddess Chamundeshwari in the Templelocated on top of the Chamundi Hill. During the Krishnanraja Wodeyar 3 in 1805, the tradition of having aspecial Darbar in the Palace began during Dasara even now to date 2019 theSpecial Darbar is held and attended by members of the royal family, Guests,officials and the people. The present Heir of the Wodeyar Dynasty is Yaduveer KrishnadattaChamaraja Wodeyar who coronated in the year 2015 after the Death of SrikanthdattaNarasimharaja Wodeyar in 2013. So, the Mysuru Wodeyar’s legacystill continuing will continue in the future too. P.S. - There are other Royal families too who still practice and hostsuch festivities in the respected places. Q2 What is the mostinteresting fact that you know and I don't, but I should? A2 Lucky Ravula August 25, 2020Football & Knowledge Freak This is Something unique !! And most of us are unaware of it. This is aboutOur Indian “Lok Sabha”. Reason Behind this : In the year 2009, MaulanaBadruddin Ajmal MP from Dhubri in Assam Was Alloted to Number 420 seat in LokSabha. 420 is the number of theinfamous Section of the Indian Penal Code. He was Not Happy With That Number and He immediately asked the Lok SabhaSecretariat to change his number. He told them to give any numberexcept 420. He also said that he can even accept the so-calledunlucky Number 13. He also Said, MP's used to avoid this Number but, he made clear that he wasnot comfortable with the number 420. Because it's an identity number. Hence, Lok sabha Alloted 419Aand Lok sabha Abolished the number 420. Lok Sabha officials said that Ajmal is not the first MP to shrinkDivision no 420. The problem first cropped up in the 14th Lok Sabha. AfterAjmal's Request They have formalised this Arrangement. And also Number 13 isconsidered as Inauspicious. Source : India Times. Q3 Which developed areas ofIndia have the best air quality? A3 Mahi March 31-2021 A Sri Lankan Tamil who love Indianculture Well as you already know developed areas have high pollution. So i’mgoing to give places as per their development category. Let’s go from less developed tomore developed. Be known less development places which come in topwill have very good air quality. Mangalore in Karnataka statehas very good air quality for it’s development. Tiruchirappalli in Tamil Nadu hasgood quality for it’s development. I know Mangalore is has very good air quality than Tiruchirappalli. But I considerTiruchirappalli is more developed than Mangalore. I said already development andpollution are connected at least in developing countries. Surat in Gujarat and Bhopal inMadya Pradesh have good air quality. Again I consider them more developed than Tiruchirappalli and Mangalore. Ahmedabad (Gujarat) and Pune(Maharashtra) are highly developed cities and they have comparatively better air quality than other citiessimilar in it’s development. Delhi being worse in that category. Q4 What is the strangestdiagnosis a doctor on Quora has ever made? A4 R.K. Shwetabh 4-4-2021Pediatric Specialist at Government ofOdisha (2020–present) This diagnosis was not made by me but one of my Asst Prof when he wasdoing SR ship, and he has narrated this whole incident to me. So, one day in emergency duty a girl about 13–14 yr old came to hospitalwith severe abdominal pain and abdominal distension. On asking about history,the parents were telling that abdominal distension is from past 2 days whilethe pain abdomen was happening from morning itself. The family was from verypoor tribal background. On examination there was no ascites, no jaundice, no murmur, pedal edema, no history of diarrhoea, nothingsuggestive of such a huge abdominal distension and severe pain.Sir was also confused aboutdiagnosis. Suddenly, he thought of something which is very very rare in Pediatricage group .He asked the girl to do an emergency ultrasound. Can you believe what came inultrasound- the girl was pregnant and was having active labour contractions. This was the reason of such abdominal distensionand pain. On enquiring strictly ,the parents accepted that the abdominaldistension was from quite some time and they were also doubtful about pregnancy as the girl wasin relationship with a boy in the village. But due to society fearthey were not telling it. I was also surprised to hear such case. It was really bold decision tothink of pregnancy at that age with no other history. Q5 Which is the beststevia-based sweetener in India for a diabetic? A5 Manish Chauhan Updated March 19-2021Co- Founder at Arboreal(2015–present) My father has been a diabetic for a long time and in my personalexperience, the biggest factor when it comes to choosing a Stevia brand andmaking it part of your daily life is Taste. All Stevia based products willhave 0 insulin response and will not raise your blood sugar levels but when itcomes to Taste, its a bit of a hit or miss with different Stevia brands. Another important consideration as many other people on this thread havepointed out is that most commercial Stevia based table topsweetener products are NOT pure Stevia (as it is very high intensity andhence needs to be diluted/bulked with other ingredients for ease of use) butblends of Stevia extract with other ingredients like Polyols or Inulin. Whatother ingredients are there in a particular blend (and their safety profile andhealth impact) is an equally important factor. I can personally recommendMagic leaf Stevia. My familyswitched over to Magic leaf a while ago and we find their quality and taste tobe consistently good in most of our daily applications. All the ingredients intheir formulation are 100% Natural and Safe. Q6 What happens to theumbilical cord after it's cut from the baby, the one that stays with themother?

A8 Kanthaswamy Balasubramaniam 4-4-2021 Advisor and Tutor at Staff Selection Commission CombinedGraduate Level Exam (2021–present) Maximum RETAIL Price is to becharged by a Retailer. ARetailer has a simple business transaction - He sells you buy. Plain and Simple Unfortunately Airports orHotels also provide you additional services like providing you with Air Conditioning, with a seat etc. Thus since theseservices cannot be quantified - the Law allows them to charge above MRP. This is mainly becausethe Hotels or Airports are not regarded as Retailers. Same with Movie Houses orHalls. Q9 In Hindu folklore, who isKuber?
