The rise of Mahajanpad

 India and its history ,As one goes deeper ,it turns out be more royal and surprises you about so many aspect of our country . As I have never been so fond of history as a subject as I grown up ,I started like it as a story of our glorious  past and It intrigued me and I got to know so much which I didn't know earlier .This land has been rich from so many years and still continue to living that richness . The rise of Mahajanpadas has its own interesting story to know .                During Ancient times ,There were 16 Mahajanpadas which dates from 600BC to 325 BC. These mahajanapad had its own story . These were Anga ,Magadha ,Vajji ,Malla ,Kashi ,Kosala ,Vatsa ,Chedi ,Kuru ,Panchala ,Shurasena ,Matsya ,Avanti ,Ashmaka ,Gandhara and Kamboja . These Mahajanpadas were divided into two types of states - 1)Monarchical 2) Non Monarchical  . There were some states which was monarchial and those states were Anga ,Magadha ,Kashi ,Kosala ,Vatsa ,Chedi ,Shurasena ,Matsya ,Avanti ,Gandhara and There were some states which were Republican and those states were Vajji,Malla ,Kuru ,Panchal ,Kamboja ,Shakya ,Koliyas ,Moriya .  The political history of India from 6th century BC onwards is the history of struggle between four states and these states were Magadha ,Kosala ,Vatsa and Avanti for supremacy . But ultimately ,The Kingdom of Magadha emerged to be the most powerful one and succeeded in founding an empire . Magadha enjoyed a special advantage in military organisation . Magadha emerged as one of the most powerful kingdom during those times .                                                    I am glad to know the history which is so deep and initially rooted in the lap of our country .I am happy to know it because my paternal roots belong to magadh and my father told me lot of stories about it  . Indeed ,India has always been great and will remain forever .

My day on stage

It was 13.12.2023 ....I woke up early in the morning because I had to write my assignment .....Usually I wake up around 7'0 clock when i have no where to go about .... When I have to go then i wake up early because its take alot for me to get out from the sleep zone and focus on to the wordly activities. ...But this morning was quite different because I had to rush to deliver my topic on the stage . I was excited so it didn't take me much to zone out from the sleep. Usually Mornings are calm for me ...I am in no speaking zone but that day my mind was constantly speaking inwards about VS Naipaul. A Diasporic Author who is known across the world for his terrific writing in fiction . I had chosen this topic to deliver on the stage while all my mates had chosen common topic among them called Train to Pakistan which i had no idea about ...when i reached there in the hall I realized that only i m delivering topic on diasporic and felt out of blue but composed myself becau...

A love letter to the year 2023 💌

Its so obvious that when a year is passing then its defintely a flow of emotions ,mixed feelings of keeping something with you and the idea of letting it go gives you euphoria packed with dichotomy .      Well ,Talking about the year 2023 ,Its been a good year with lots of ups and downs in my mental and  physical state . Looking back to the start of the year ...I find how things changes and how fast the day and night changes ... Those changes really put you through some amazing experience which you want to keep close  forever because you know that whatever the experience is be it good ,bad or ugly ...you can't create it again ..Every year gives you some moments of nostalgia ,some moments that you want to repeat again  ,while some moments you never want to visit ...A reflection of year gives you insight about how you were in the start of the year and what a year changes in your inner self nd in your sorroundings . I think that life is a beautiful journey mix...

The moment of Curiosity and Learning :2013

When I talk about the moment of Curiosity and Learning then its literally take me to the year 2013 ...Yes ,You heard it right ...The Year 2013 when I was in my most curious state of mind because that was the year where i was appearing for my first board exam and i had lots of anxiety and curiousity going in my mind about future ..about how will i hold my life and how i will able to mould it the way i want ? But ,the most important thing was in my mind that "will i secure good marks" because the classmate i had back then were someone who would use to talk more and act less so they all had made it look like that its the cake walk for them and my mind was full of self doubt because i never felt like this and i don't think that anything is cake walk for me but anyway ....All of this sudden self doubt went away when i stood first in the that batch and the one who bragged stood nowhere ...that was my first lesson that never get carried away by someone 's pretentanious thing...
