Q1         How do Indian soldiers survive withtheir substandard diet?

A1          Shaurya Nayak Tue Livesin India

Look when they are posted in normal/peaceful area’s they eat normal foodlike 
what you would be eating in your home.

It would include: Daal-Chawal with a sabzi that is made.

Daal-Chawal routinely with chicken

Sometimes they also eat a wide variety of food may be weekends

This is another example of their healthy diet

Sometimes in the service to the nation, they don’t even have time to sitand eat

In high altitude, they eat special food made by DRDO

Regularly they eat energy barsmade by DRDO

And our food are so tasty that even our enemies who when come with 
falsepromises of peace love to eat our naan and chicken

Our food is so tasty that evenour enemies turn friend upon seeing our food:

Q2         What is something that is VERY scaryhappening in the world right now?

A2          Aryan Kapoor Mon Livesin Rajasthan, India

One of my friend lives in a locality which is very close to a Muslimarea. He 
took me there one day as he had to purchase something.

While I was there, I decided to do a little experiment. I approached anold 
Muslim man who was sitting outside his house and this conversationhappened,

Me: Asslamualaikum sir!

He(With a slight chuckle and amused voice): Walaikum assalam beta(son).

Me: So, for how many years have you been living in this locality?

He: 20 years!

Me: So, is it all okay? Are thereany tensions between you and the 
neighboring(Hindu) areas??

He: No, not at all. In fact, ourmajority of business is coming from the 
neighboring areas only. No disturbancesat all. We all live peacefully.

Now, this is the ground reality in India. In majority of areas where Hindu 
muslim co-exist, there isactually brotherhood and awesomeness that is 
prevailing. The people ofIndia who are being radicalized on the basis of 
religion through Whatsapp areactually those who do not live/live very far away 
from such areas and do notknow the ground reality.

Those who are living in these areas are actually in touch with thereality and 
hence don’t pay much heed to such messages.

Hence, a false sense ofMuslims endangering the Indian unity is prevailing among 
people unnecessarily.In fact, almost all my relatives think that muslims are a 
threat to the nation and when asked for proof, theyjust show me Whatsapp 
forwards.

Possibly the reason why my relatives started hating me :p

Coming on a serious note, this is something very scary happening in theworld 
(Particularly India) right now. Polarisation on the basis of religion 
andspreading of unnecessary hate.

Always remember:

“Majhab nahi sikhata aapas mein bair rakhna”.

Translation:

“Faith does not teaches you tohate each other”.

Spread love, not hate :)

 

Q3         What do small towns in China look like?

A3          Allen Allington Mon 26countries, 1500 days in Asia. Lives in China 
part time

Small towns in China?? Hahaha. Our concept of small towns is very different. My 
Chinesewife comes from a small town, Wuhu Anhui China with just 2 million 
people.Yes, in China it’s considered a small town.

We have been to small villages of a few thousand people, mostly farmvillages 
with some small common businesses every town or villages might have. You would 
see more ox carts,more hand carts, more “farmer” activities on the street, just 
a lot busier thana small forgotten Midwest farm town in America with empty 
streets you would seein America.

Here are pictures I took a couple years ago about 250 Mike’s northwest 
ofShanghai at a village street market.

There are three All India Services (AIS) namely Indian AdministrativeService 
(IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS) and Indian Forest Service (IFoS).

Indian Forest Service (IFoS) is mainly different from other two AIS inthe 
following ways.

Only Science and Engineeringgraduates shall be eligible to apply for the 
Exam(UPSC civils Prelims and IFoS mains) where as any graduate is eligible 
forIAS/IPS. Visit upsc website for all details.

IFoS works for wild life ,forest development and to maintain ecologicalbalance 
of the country where as Other All India Services like IAS and IPS workfor human 
development and werlfare.

Their main role is protect Naturehence it is may be called as Natural Resource 
Service.

It is also uniformed service andhave to protect wildlife and Forest from Human 
activities such as Poaching, Smuggling of wild life parts.

Their responsibility is to increase the forest coverage (33%) and reducethe 
man-animal conflict

They are responsible to give report on feasibility of conversion offorest land 
for developmental projects such as construction of Dams, Roads and Railway 
lines,Industries etc.

They are having life threat from forest and wildlife mafia. ( Redsandalmafia , 
Elephant poaching etc) Some of the officers lost their lives in thatlike 
P.Srinivas, IFoS in war with South Indian forest decoit Veerappan.

They have to work in remote areaswhere no proper connectivity and facilities 
are available in the starting of the service. Little bit difficult tostay with 
family who hailed from urban areas.

They are trained at Indira GandhiNational Forest Academy (IGNFA) , Dehradun 
where as for others LBSNSA, Mussorie.

IFoS officers have high role to play in building lung space for human'sand to 
lead better quality of life by people. Sudha Ramen, IFS, brought an18-acre

Q7         Whichsecret of the Mahabharata do 99% of Hindus not know?

A7          3 Answers Yogesh Digarse, SoftwareEngineer at Digital India 
Corporation Answered 20h ago

Mysterious Birth

No person was born in the Mahabharata in general. Sri Krishna was bornunder 
very difficult circumstances in imprisonment. At the same time, beforethat 
Bhishma was born in violation of the condition of Ganga. When Bhishma tookthe 
pledge of celibacy, a crisis arose to advance the dynasty.

Shantanu's second wife Satyavati had two sons. Of this, 2 wives of thesurviving 
Vichitravirya were born by Ambika and Ambalika from Nigod toDhritarashtra from 
Ambika, Pandu from Ambalaika and Vidur from Maid.

In the same way, Ved Vyasya worked again when Dhritarashtra and Pandu didnot 
have a son. Now you think that when one of these 2 sons did not have a sonin 
Dhritarashtra, 99sons and 1 daughter were born by the grace of Ved Vyas. Pandu, 
onthe other hand, had two wives, Kunti and Madri.

Pandu could not produce a sonfrom both. Then Kunti called Dharmaraja, Indra and 
Pawan Dev respectively, andYudhishthira, Arjuna Bhima were born.In the same way 
Madri called for two Ashwin kumars, then Nakula and Sahadevawere born to them.

Similarly, the birth ofDraupadi is also a mystery. It is said that his real 
name is Yagyaseni.

Yajnaseni because she was born of yajna. The name Daupadi was due tobeing the 
daughter of Maharaja Drupada. Similarly, the birth of Gurdam Rishi'sson 
Sharadwan and Shardwan's son Kripacharya is also a mystery. 

Kripacharya's mother's name wasNampadi. The Nampadi was a Devakanya. Indra sent 
Narmapadi to ward off Shardwanfrom sadhana. Due to the beauty ofDevakanya 
Nampadi (Janapadi), Shardwan became so compressed that his semen wasejaculated 
and fell on a reed.

That sarcanda divided into two parts, out of which a child named Krupa was born 
and in the secondpart a girl named Krupi was born. This kindly is called 
Kripacharya.

Maharishi Bharadwaj Muni's semen was born in a droni (yajnakalash ormountain 
cave), the son born, was called Drona.

There is also a mention that Bhardwaj saw the abominable bathing in theGanges, 
Bhardwaj saw the abominable bathing in the Ganges and on seeing him, hebecame 
enamored due to which his ejaculation ejaculated which he kept in 
Drona(Yajnakalash). Later the child born to him was called Drona.

All the warriors who have risenfor one night are believed that all the knights 
killed in the Mahabharata war like Bhishma, Dronacharya,Duryodhana, Abhimanyu, 
Draupadi's sons. , Karna, Shikhandi etc. were revived for one night.The 
incident took place 15 years after the end of the Mahabharata war.

This is the time when Dhritarashtra, Kunti, Vidur, Gandhari and Sanjaylived in 
the forest. After Vidurji gave up his life there, Maharishi Ved Vyasacame to 
Dhritarashtra's ashram. Maharishi Ved Vyas said to Dhritarashtra,Gandhari and 
Kunti that today I will show you the effect of my penance. Ask forwhatever you 
want.

Then Dhritarashtra and Gandhari expressed their desire to see Karna,their sons 
dead in battle and Kunti. Draupadi etc. said that they also want tosee their 
family. Maharishi Ved Vyas said that this will happen.

2ND ANSWER- PeeyushRai, lived in India Answered Wed

It's about Magadha monarch Jarasandha. Most people don't know how exactly did 
he die?

The common story prevalent about his death is that Bhima ripped off the body 
ofJarasandha into two equal halves. But everytime he did so, his body used to 
getattached and he again start to fight with Bhima. ThenKrishna-Vasudeva 
advised Bhima to throw the piece of body in opposite directionand this is how 
he died.

However this is not true according to Mahabharata. According to the SabhaParva 
of Mahabharata Bhima killed Jarasandha by breaking his spine. No magichappens 
in this story.

Vaisampayana said,--"thusaddressed, Bhima firmlyresolved upon slaying 
Jarasandha, replied unto Krishna of the Yadu race,saying,--O tiger of Yadu 
race, O Krishna, this wretch that yet stayeth beforeme with sufficient strength 
and bent upon fight, should not be forgiven by me.Hearing these words of 
Vrikodara (Bhima), that tiger among men, Krishna,desiring to encourage that 
hero to accomplish the death of Jarasandha withoutany delay, answered,--'O 
Bhima, exhibit today upon Jarasandha the strength thouhast luckily derived, the 
might thou hast obtained from (thy father), the godMaruta.' Thus addressed by 
Krishna, Bhima, that slayer of foes, holding up in the air the 
powerfulJarasandha, began to whirl him on high. And, O bull of the Bharatarace, 
having so whirled him in the air full hundred times, Bhima pressed his knee 
againstJarasandha's backbone and broke his body in twain. And having killed 
himthus, the mighty Vrikodara uttered a terrible roar. And the roar of the 
Pandavamingling with that death knell of Jarasandha, while he was being broken 
onBhima's knee, caused a loud uproar that struck fear into the heart of 
everycreature. And all the citizens of Magadha became dumb with terror and 
manywomen were even prematurely delivered.
