Liberation of Goa: - Operation Vijay

Every year on December 19, Goa celebrates its liberation day. Why December 19 and not August 15? As in any other case, all the answers are hidden in history, so the actual matter began in 1510, when Goa came under Portuguese rule after the victory of Aefonso de Albuquerque. During the Portuguese rule, Goa flourished economically and was also made the capital city of the Portuguese colony in India Basically, Portuguese don't want to leave Goa for multiple reasons: 1.) Since ancient times, Goa has been an important trading port. 2.) Appropriate location for expanding naval forces 3.) To promote Christianity  4.) Western powers have always been influenced by the spice trade routes of Goa Island and Indian spice businesses. In 1928, everything was going swimmingly for the Portuguese until the first resistance against Portuguese rule was launched by a Frenchman, Tristao de Braganca Cunha, who distributed anti-Portuguese pamphlets in Goa, detailing 400 years of oppressive Portuguese ru

Russia vs Ukraine: what is the conflict ?

 All the answers are hidden in history..   So we began in the 9th century there was a state called “Kevin rus” Slavic people lived here and the city Kyiv was the capital, it was ruled by the “Grand Prince Vladimir” between 980 -1015. He was known as Vladimir in Russian and Volodymyr in Ukrainian, so as president of both countries now. Anyway, so Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarussian draws their lineage from This Slavic state, in the 1900s In the Soviet Republic, Russia is the most powerful in 15 Soviet republics and Ukraine is the second most powerful country.  But the Soviet Union disintegrated in 1991.

Karnataka Hijab case : Legal question or Political Distraction?

 The case began gaining attention when a government pre-university college of udupi in karnataka barred six girls from attending classes for wearing hijab, as their dress was against the school's rules and regulations and then that ban spread to some other colleges/schools as well, Between all that their is some viral videos shown where students pleading to let them join school, they claimed till yesterday they were welcome and now suddenly, no entry! And school administration says that girls violated school uniform code. So basically their is leagal and political angle in this case. Legally, ARTICLE 25(1) OF THE CONSTITUTION GUARANTEES THE "FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE AND THE RIGHT FREELY TO PROFESS, PRACTISE AND PROPAGATE RELIGION". But their is some reasonable restrictions that the public order morality and health are not compromised in the process. So unfortunately here legal angle is being used for political gains, And as per the karnataka HC "Constitution that gives

Australian Open: Rafael Nadal creates history by winning his 21st Grand Slam

And here the time has come and we have just witnessed the greatest comeback in the world of tennis history. Rafael Nadal win the 21st grand slam and created history, that 21st grand slam is so significant because Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, and Rafael Nadal for a very long time were tied at 20 grand slam titles but now Rafale Nadal overtake both of them and this is the highest ever tally of any tennis player in the world of tennis, He defeated Daniil Medvedev by 2-6, 6-7(5), 6-4, 6-4, 7-5 but we must say Daniil Medvedev gave a very very tough competition to him it seemed impossible to win after two sets, but it's damn impressive how Nadal won considering that the last time he won Australian open was in 2009. He was two sets down and playing against a much younger player not to mention that he had taken a 6 months gap before this because of a knee injury. Also, he recovered from covid in December. Despite facing so many hurdles he never gave up and make this match such a remarkab
