Pranam Q1 We in India can afford to buy only once in the life time and wishes for infinity years working; business men do not produce such as they want to become billionaires to make the indians pauper; right from car to a bolt all machines are constituted only for 5 years life time. The cost of refurbishing Vs the new is the solution. However, why isn't a plane or aircraft is not produced like that, for a short life span? Because the rich will become pauper sooner than later. People today vie in jealousy to live and lead life like the neighbor. It is wrong. Level playing is needed as once we were doing in the 50s and 60s. All machines have 5 years life whether ABCD unknown co or LG. Cost wise only there is variation. So surplus shall buy BMW and let others go for maruti; lesser the value lesser the repair charges. Perhaps many may not be aware how the top business houses in India with the help of congress smashed the rule of holding spares of every product manufactured available in the market for 10 years at least. Consumptions do make one rich; consumerism is an art; art must be practiced by the artists and not the directors; any good actor is sought after by any director. Q2 All products whether below the earth or the above only last for a time. The clever manipulates. The USA spends a lot of money to get the alternatives with their patent right. And the USA preserved the ALASKA refinery intact by buying from Arab and waging war for the fuel. Simple physics and Maths. If 100 men consume 100 idlis available.... and 1000 with 100 idlis , how much each.... Q4 Even in India one can have a legal Gun; in USA one can buy from the free market and no licence needed; now laws are framed to restructure; yet because of federalism there is a difference between California and Texas. Q5 Africa and India were exploited by the west. The first part of putting down any one is to keep them ignorant of all actions as Stalin does here. India woke up early and Africa did not. Q6 Not paying Bribe is feasible only with some power holders then and now and not by all. Q7 Question is framed without mind activity at all. Colors are seen in the Rigvedam the oldest literature and if so where is Egypt doing something first?. Egyptian Blue name is the cause perhaps the question framing-thought of. *Egyptian blue*, also known as *calcium copper silicate* (CaCuSi4O10 or CaOCuO(SiO2)4 (calcium copper tetrasilicate)) or cuprorivaite, is a pigment <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigment> that was used in ancient Egypt <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egypt> for thousands of years. It is considered to be the first synthetic pigment. It was known to the Romans <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Rome> by the name *caeruleum <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerulean>*. After the Roman era <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_era>, Egyptian blue fell from use and, thereafter, the manner of its creation was forgotten. In modern times, scientists have been able to analyze its chemistry and reconstruct how to make it. The ancient Egyptian word IRITYU signifies blue, blue-green, and green. { THE ROOT OF THIS WORD IS FROM SANSKRIT MRTHYU where the body becomes blue or dark. }The first recorded use of "Egyptian blue" as a color name in English <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language> was in 1809 only. There are words like Maya Blue, Persian Blue and Prussia blue etc. The vedic people also knew different methods of dyeing the clothes because the dyeing of textiles was also a subsidiary craft. In this art both male and female dyers were engaged, but the latter excelled the former, so they have been dedicated to delight.The vedic texts refer to several colours in which cloth was usually dyed. The colours known to the people of Rigvedic period seem to be evidenced from the occurrence in the Rigveda (1.71).Though the texts refer to several dye-stuffs and clothes of different colours, but they do not shed any light on the technique of dyeing.As far later vedic period dyeing process is concerned, it was done with the juice of "lodhra" lower or with {Arts and crafts in Northern India by Dahiya N } madder or indigo.Several colours mentioned in later vedic literature. They include white, red, yellow,(ibid ) green, blue and black.The compilers of the Grihya Sutras were also acquainted with the art of dyeing also, as the Asvalyan (1 19 9) Grihya Sutra States that a Brahmana should wear reddish yellow (Kasaya), a kshatriya's garment should be manjistha (dyed with madder), and a vaisya should put on yellow garment (charindra) at the time of upanayana. So, it appears that vegetable and stone dyes have been widely used from the very early times. The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad suggests that clothes used to be dyed with various colours such as yellow, (Brahadaranyaka upanishad II 3 6) scarlet and red.In Epics also we get a number of references regarding the dyeing industry. It is said that Sita received among other things, garments of various colours, when she was getting married to Rama.The Ramayana mentions the ladies of Ravana clothed in garments of variegated hues. "Kusumba" was one of the prominent dyes used in ancient India.In the Mahabharata we read an uncoloured cloth, when dirty, can ( Economics life in India By Buch) be cleansed, but not a piece of cloth that is dyed with black, even so O king ... is the case with sin.A snataka was asked to avoid all dyed dresses and all naturally black cloth. Gautama also forbids him the use of dyed or sumptuous garments.Block printing was also an ancient folk tradition in India. It was certainly known in the days about which the Greek Scholar Arrian wrote and probably in the days of the Mahabharata as ( Valmiki Ramayanam II 83 15) well.The dye manufacturer "Rangakara" is also referred in the Ramayana and Mahabharata.During Buddhist period, dyeing industry was in full ledged way. The Jataka refers to a variety of colours and to garments, rugs and curtains as dyed scarlet, orange etc. Even an umbrella is noted as red coloured.The word rajaka who performed the work of dyeing after having washed the cloth, may be taken to mean both a washerman and a dyer.
