(TEMPLE OF LORD JAGANNATH,PURI)

wow, yesterday it was a great days in india be'cos it was a day which we hindus in india wait most. it's our biggest hindu festival and special also. though we hindus have lots of festival in a year but it's most important.it's called car festival(Rath yatra). actually it's called "rath yatra" but after india was british colony for 200 yrs, the english people called it car festival because in this special occassion, the most important lord of hindus called "Bishnu", who is worshipped as "Jagannath" in this time travels from his temple with his brother and sister to his reative in rath(like car made of wood). the three lords, Jagannath, Balabhadra(his elder brother) & Subhadra(his syster) have their own rath pulled by the devotees  to the lord's relative which is also a temple. he'll stay their for 10 days as vacation and return back on 10th day.generally one question'll arrive that this all things r like humans behaves in their social life. ya that's true, he is the special god and he leaves like the general human, that we hindus believe from thousand yrs and the occassion came in every year.he is the lord whose statue which is worshipped in temple made of one type of wood and the rath by which he'll travel also made of wood.and generally all the statue of gods in hindu religion made of stone or metal but this perticular three gods's statue made of wood.so, every year in this perticular day, some around 10,000 devotees gathered in front of the temple to see and participate in this holly occassion.

(RATH YATRA(CAR  FESTIVAL, PURI)

though india is a country with lots of cast and religion people but here in this occassion all r one without any feelings.lots of foreigners participate here with same energy as we indians and every one have only one wish to see one look of god. another thing is in hindu religion, every god and goddess r looks like humans but pertucular these three gods r not looks like human and have no structure like it's a unfinished structure.....

TEXTBOOK BATTLE : CHINESE HISTORY LESSONS AREN'T FLAWLESS EITHER............

for the students paying close attention during a class taught by history profesor Min Hong at Shanghai's elite Gezhi high school, the issues appear clear cut.

       "iron-clad evidence proves that japan's development started with and dependent on its invasion of China," booms the voice of a narrator in a video that cronicles the island nation's wartime rise.

    Min follows the video by reeling off a list of Japan's piecemeal invation of Chinese territory before inviting her students tp comment.

   "They lost world warII but they r not convinced", says one student."Some inflamed Japanese youth still want to fight a decisive battle with our nation and we should prevent them," he continues before Min interrupts.

   "Learning this episode of history is not for the shake of getting revenge,what's the omportant is to restore historical truth," explains Min.

  Yet hiastorical truth is often conspicuously absent in chinese schools too, as it is in Japan and other east asian nations such as North Koria and South Koria.

  While learning materials in Chinese high schools take special pains to putline Japanese aggression beginning with the 1874 invasion of Taiwan, China's involvement in the 1950-1953 Korea war is dismissed in one sentense.

       At the same time , such r the holes in the modern chinese history that the average mainland collage graduate still believes China is a "peaceful country " which has faught wars only in self -defence.

     completely absence from text-books is China's 1951 invasion and susequent colonisation of an independent tibet.Erased too is the 1962 attack on India and the ill-fated 1979 incursion into VIetnam. Even Min admitted to having heard only in passing about these events
