All these countries in Orange colour call the fruit Orange Portugal or a derivative of the word Portugal Portugal is a country...... no? During the late 1400s and 1500s, Portuguese maritime traders encountered the sweet orange in East Asia and brought it back to the Mediterranean. Portuguese sailors realized that packing their ships with these sweet, vitamin C-rich fruits kept their crews safe from scurvy during long ocean voyages. Because Portuguese merchants dominated the distribution of this delicious new variety, people across the trade routes stopped using the old words for bitter citrus and simply started calling the fruit after the people selling it: "the fruit from Portugal." Arabic: Burtuqāl (برتقาล) Turkish: Portakal Persian / Farsi: Porteghāl (پرتقال) Greek: Portokáli (πορτοקάλι) Romanian: Portocală Bulgarian: Portokal (портокал) Albanian: Portokall Georgian: Fortokhali (ფორთოხალი) Amharic (Ethiopia): Birtukan Somali: Bortoqāl THE CURIOSITY.........

  India's Most ICONIC Car Was Actually A 1950s British Reject Introduced in Britain in 1956, the Morris Oxford Series III didn't last long. By 1959, British buyers wanted sleeker, more modern styling, and Morris replaced it with a sharper design penned by Italian studio Pininfarina. With the old assembly line suddenly obsolete in the UK, Hindustan Motors (HM) stepped in. They bought the rights, packed up the entire tooling and press machinery from Cowley, England, and shipped it over to Uttarpara near Kolkata. While the British market rejected the round, bulbous design as outdated, India embraced it for its structural merits: The Monocoque Frame: It was incredibly tough, managing deep potholes and unpaved rural tracks better than fragile imports. The Sofa-Like Back Seat: Perfect for a chauffeur-driven culture, offering incredible headroom and legroom. High Ground Clearance: High enough to navigate monsoon floods and rocky roads. The "Amby" quickly transitioned from a ...

The ancient town of Ma-Kum in Assam was renamed by the British Margherita after the Italian Queen Margherita of Savoy Ma-Kum, translates to the "abode of all tribes" in the local Ahom and Singpho languages. The name Makum still exists today for a separate, neighboring railway junction town about 30 kilometers away. When massive coalbeds and tea plantation potential were discovered in Upper Assam during the late 1800s, the Assam Railways & Trading Company was formed to mine the area and establish vital transport lines. Italian engineers, led by Roberto Paganini, were hired by the British to build a crucial railway line and bridge over the Dihing River to open up the local coalfields. When they successfully completed the grueling project in 1884, Paganini named the settlement Margherita as a patriotic nod to his home country’s rei gning queen. A township came up around the tea gardens and coal mines. Today, the historic town is nicknamed the "Coal Queen" of Assam ...

  Any Korean surnamed Kim (from Gimhae) or Heo, trace their origins back to one Indian Princess from Ayodhya named Suriratna (Queen Heo Hwang-ok) According to the Samguk Yusa (Memorabilia of the Three Kingdoms) text, in 48 CE, a 16-year-old princess arrived by boat on the shores of the Geumgwan Gaya kingdom (modern-day Gimhae in South Korea). She stated that the Heavenly Lord appeared in her parents' dreams, instructing them to send her to marry King Kim Suro, the founder of the Gaya Kingdom. The Samguk Yusa says she came from a distant land named "Ayuta". Anthropologists and linguists (like Professor Kim Byung-mo) popularized the theory that "Ayuta" is phonetically identical to Ayodhya. The royal couple had 12 children. The Kims: Ten sons carried on King Suro's lineage. This birthed the Gimhae Kim clan. The Heos: The queen requested that her family name not be lost, so King Suro allowed two of their sons to take her maiden name, founding the Gimhae Heo clan...

It is the BJP that fucked our happiness, be it Vajpayee or Modi The Citizenship quandary was created by the BJP in 2004, when they brought in the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2003 (officially labeled Act 6 of 2004). Introduced by L.K. Advani, who was the Union Home Minister and Deputy Prime Minister at the time. The 2003/2004 law completely shifted the legal landscape in massive ways: Previously, if you were born in India and at least one parent was an Indian citizen, you were a citizen. The 2004 law added a strict caveat: you only get citizenship by birth if one parent is a citizen AND the other is not an illegal migrant. The law explicitly disqualifies a child if one parent is an illegal migrant, the child does not automatically inherit the citizenship of their legal Indian parent. The restriction doesn't just apply to birth. Under Section 5 (Citizenship by Registration) and Section 6 (Citizenship by Naturalization), the law explicitly states that "illegal migrants" can...

  Military officers are awarded the President's commission, what is it for IAS/IPS? For IAS, IPS, and IFS (the All-India Services), the direct equivalent is the Presidential Appointment Order. While military officers receive a "commission" that legally authorizes them to command troops and wield violent force under the state's command, civil servants receive an official Appointment Letter issued in the name of the President of India, making them Gazetted Officers. Just like military officers, IAS and IPS officers are appointed by the President of India under the authority of the Constitution (specifically Article 311 and Article 312). Their names are published in the Gazette of India, which is why they are called "Gazetted Officers." The main difference being, Commissioned officers have RANKS, Civil servants/Police officers do not have RANKS, they only have appointments. Military Ranks are awarded for life and retained even after retirement UNLESS withdrawn ...
