"Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we will redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance.... We end today a period of ill fortune, and India discovers herself again."
- Jawaharlal Nehru
(Speech on Indian Independence Day, 1947)
On 15 August 1947, India attained freedom from the British Rule. Every year, August 15 is celebrated as the Independence Day in India. This national festival is celebrated with great enthusiasm all over the country.
The Independence Day of any country is a moment of pride and glory. On this special occasion, rich tributes are paid to the freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives and fought to free their motherland from the clutches of the oppressors - British who ruled the country.
Significance of Independence Day
The day when India woke up to freedom back in 1947 was a day of great celebration. A country got rid of her foreign yoke and became a sovereign nation, she celebrated her sovereignty on this day - the triumph of numerous martyred souls. It was a day of fulfillment, it was the day of a new beginning, a birth of a nation.On the stroke of midnight, a country came into life again as the british handed over the governance of India to the Indian leaders.The long and difficult struggle had borne fruit at last, though the happiness was marred by the fact that the country was divided into India and Pakistan and the violent communal riots had left the countries permanently scarred.
---- Independence Day is considered as a national holiday in India. The arrangement begins a month before the D-day and the roads are embellished with ribbons and Indian flags.
---- Flag-hoisting ceremonies are executed all over India by state governments. However, the chief event is conducted in the capital city of India, New Delhi where the Prime Minister of India unfurls the tricolor at the barricades of Red Fort which receives a salutation of 21 guns, and addresses the nation with his speech.
---- The Prime Minister’s speech holds major importance as it pays tribute to the great souls who sacrificed their lives for nation’s independence and reveals the achievements of the nation during the past year beside discussing significant issues and proposing steps for further growth.
---- A vibrant parade exhibiting India’s cultural multiplicity, emblematic portrayals of the nation’s developments in science and technology, a collaborative parade of India’s armed competencies by the three forces and patriotic skits and dramas by school children are an integral part of the Independence Day festivities.
---- On this day the skyline of the capital city gets sprinkled with innumerable multicolored kites. People indulge in kite flying competitions and children cheer aloud elevating the spirit of the day.
The best-selling Jesus movie, Jesus of Nazareth (1977), starred the attractive blue-eyed Robert Powell. If a modern version of the movie had to be produced one can easily imagine attractive actors like Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp portraying Jesus.
But what did the real Jesus look like? And what did other famous religious figures look like physically?
Buddha
There is, of course, more than one Buddha. The first buddha, who is known as The Buddha (‘enlightened one’) was Prince Siddhartha Gautama Shakyamuni, the sage of the Skakya tribe from north India. It is not known when exactly he lived but it is thought to be any time between 563 and 483 BC, thus some 2 500 years ago.
We also do not know what The Buddha looked like. There were no images or descriptions of any kind made during his lifetime because he requested that none be made. It is, however, thought that he was a tall, slim fellow and had jet black hair. Being from that northern region, his complexion probably was a smooth golden brown. Images of The Buddha were created only 500 years after his death and most depict the above description.
The fat Buddha – the one you usually find in gift shops – is the buddha named Hotei or Pu-Tai. He is based on a Chinese Zen (Ch’an) monk who lived at the end of the first millennium, thus over 1 000 years ago. He is generally known as the jolly or the laughing Buddha but in China he is known as the Friendly One or Loving One. Obviously we know what he looked like.
Muhammad
Muslims do not allow images of their prophet, Muhammad ibn ‘Abdullāh, to be made in any format therefor were up in arms, literally, when he was portrayed in cartoons in Norwegian newspapers and elsewhere. Although there are no pictures, portraits or statues of the prophet Muhammad there are many text based descriptions.
In his biography on the prophet Muhammad, author Athar Husain explains: “Transmitted from Ali, may God be pleased with him, who, when asked to describe the Prophet, peace be upon him, would say: He was not too tall nor too short. He was medium sized. His hair was not short and curly, nor was it lank, but in between. His face was not narrow, nor was it fully round, but there was a roundness to it. His skin was white. His eyes were black. He had long eyelashes.”
Other descriptions has him with as above average height with a large and prominent forehead and, also, long, thick eyelashes. Some sources describes his mouth and his eye as large – he was thought to have been blind in one eye.
But others explains the prophet Muhammad as short and fat. For instance, in Sunan Abu-Dawud, Book 40: “When Ubaydullah saw him, he said: This Muhammad of yours is a dwarf and fat.
Jesus
Jesus was a Jew. So he obviously most likely looked like a Jew: olive skin complexion, prominent nose, curly dark hair, perhaps green or blue eyes. As with the other religious figures there are no images of descriptions made of Jesus during his lifetime. Images of Jesus appeared long after his death (or ascendance into heaven).
Modern depictions of Jesus as an tall, attractive guy is probably wrong. For one thing, in the time that any of these character lived the average height of people was much shorter than today – 5 ft 1 inch. Perhaps they, with the exception of the prophet Muhammad, were taller than average but it is not known as certainty.
There is one description of Jesus in the Old Testament, made more than 5 000 years before he was born. Isaiah 52 describes Jesus as follows:
“… like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.”
The way they walk ,whatever these religious figures really looked like it is doubtful that any of them would turn heads if they walk down the street today. There is less doubt that none of these figures, including Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp, except one could walk on water.
:note: The picture is called The Head of Christ, painted by Walter Sallman in 1941. More than 500 million copies of it has been sold.
Just a pinch of it and it’s worth it. We’re talking salt here. Used throughout human history, mentioned often in the Bible, ubiquitous and cheap. Mined from salt rocks and extracted from sea water, salt is… well, the “salt of the earth.” You can’t live without it healthily. At the same time, you can’t live healthily with too much of it. Get the balance right – in your food and in your live – and salt is worth it’s own weight.
10 surprising good uses for salt
1. Deter ants
Sprinkle salt in doorways, on window sills and anywhere else ants use to sneak into your house. It’s a sure way to keep them out!
2. Kill grass and weeds growing in cracks in your driveway
Tired of weeding your driveway? Sprinkle salt on the grass and pour very hot water over it. Not only is this a highly effective way to kill unwanted plants, it’s also eco-friendly and cheap.
3. Say goodbye to fleas
If your dogs have fleas, simply wash their doghouse and blankets in salt water. If you’re worried your dogs may have brought fleas into your house, simply sprinkle your carpets lightly with salt and then brush it in. Leave it for 12 hours and vacuum thoroughly.
4. Pick up a dropped egg
If you drop an egg on the kitchen floor, sprinkle salt on the mess and leave it there for 20 minutes. You’ll be able to wipe it right up.
5. Clean up oven spills quickly
If a pie or casserole bubbles over in the oven, pour a handful of salt on top of the spill. It won’t smoke, smell and, most importantly, will bake into a crust that makes the mess easier to clean once it’s cooled.
6. Clean brown spots off your iron
Simply sprinkle salt on a sheet of waxed paper, slide the iron across it and rub lightly with silver polish. Your iron will look like brand-new in no time.

Fill it with 1/4 cup of table salt and a dozen ice cubes. Swish the mixture around, let it sit for half an hour, fill it with cold water and rinse. Your coffee pot will look brand new.
8. Keep your windshield frost-free
Dip a sponge into salt water and rub it on windows, and they won’t frost up even when the mercury drops below zero.
9. Shell nuts more easily
Soak pecans and walnuts in salt water for a few hours before shelling them. Doing so will make it easier to remove the meat.
10. Drip-proof candles
If you soak new candles in a strong salt solution for a few hours, then dry them well, they won’t drip when you burn them.
