भारतीय इतिहास में 'वेदों से वर्धन काल' तक का सफर एक ऐसे गहराई में कूदना है जिसका कोई अंत नहीं है, और एक ऐसे पहाड़ पर चढ़ना है जिसका कोई शीर्ष नही है। एक ऐसा मार्ग जो आपको सिर्फ नई दिशाएं दिखाता है, ऐसा सफर जो आपके मानसिकता को नया बल देता है एवं आपके ज्ञान को नया बल देता है।

In Mauryan era, the agricultural farms were attended by the following: 1) Vrishti - Landless labours, who worked on the basis of free food & cash; 2) Karmkara: Who worked for wages only. There were lastly farmers proper, whom the State charged a sixth of the produce as tax.

Wadda shambolic performance by Pakistan cricket team...Losing a test inside 3.5 days. Well done to Bdesh, their captain was superb, Shakib , Rahim, Liton Das, their pace bowlers all came to the party and greenwashed Pakistan 2-0.

The kingdom of Bimbisara included 80,000 villages, with a village-headman (mukhya) governing them, whose job was to collect taxes. Also corrupt officials were replaced as per required. Through his marriage-alliances, conquests, he made Magadha a supreme power by 500 BCE.

"Which person, doomed to die, does not wish the lock of hair on my head being tied up even now, which forms the black curling wreath of smoke of the fire of my anger and has been the fatal female cobra to the Nanda family" ? -- Chanakya in 'Mudra-Rakshsam'

For the past 3-4 months, have been posting regularly on Mauryan era. It had to end one day, and from tomorrow there would be posts on Imperial Gupta era.

In the same way, Sanjay Roy will also walk free one day. Public memory is very short, gormint & judiciary only wait for things to settle a bit and then they do these kinda things. Public don't react because they are tired and used to these kinda decisions.
