| Currency: |
| The Indian rupee (sign: ₹; code: INR) is the
official currency of the Republic of India. The rupee is subdivided into 100
paise (singular paisa), though as of 2018, coins of denomination of 100
paise or one rupee is the lowest value coin in use. The issuance of the
currency is controlled by the Reserve Bank of India. The Reserve Bank
manages currency in India and derives its role in currency management on the
basis of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934. The rupee is named after the
silver coin, rupiya, first issued by Sultan Sher Shah Suri in the 16th
century and later continued by the Mughal Empire. |

only)From 1950 through 1964 the Republic of India proof coins carry the
regular diamond mint mark and can be distinguished from circulation issues
only by their proof-like finish. From 1969 proofs carry the capital B mint
mark. Some Bombay issues after 1969 have a proof-like appearance although
bearing the diamond mint mark of circulation issues. Beginning in 1972
proofs of the larger denominations - 10, 20 and 100 rupees -were partly
frosted on their main features, including numerals. From 1975 all proofs
were similarly frosted, from the 1 paisa to 100 rupees. Proof-like issues
are often erroneously offered as proofs. |

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru (14 November 1889 27 May 1964)
was an Indian independence activist, and subsequently, the first
Prime Minister (15 August 1947 27 May 1964) of India and a central
figure in Indian politics before and after independence. He emerged
as an eminent leader of the Indian independence movement and served
India as Prime Minister from its establishment as an independent
nation in 1947 until his death in 1964. He has been described by the
Amar Chitra Katha as the architect of India. He was also known as
Pandit Nehru due to his roots with the Kashmiri Pandit community
while Indian children knew him as Chacha Nehru (Hindi, lit., "Uncle
Nehru"). He was the son of Motilal Nehru, a prominent lawyer and
nationalist statesman and Swaroop Rani. Jawaharlal Nehru was a
graduate of Trinity College, Cambridge and the Inner Temple, where
he trained to be a barrister. Upon his return to India, he enrolled
at the Allahabad High Court and took an interest in national
politics, which eventually replaced his legal practice. A committed
nationalist since his teenage years, he became a rising figure in
Indian politics during the upheavals of the 1910s. He became the
prominent leader of the left-wing factions of the Indian National
Congress during the 1920s, and eventually of the entire Congress,
with the tacit approval of his mentor, Gandhi. As Congress President
in 1929, Nehru called for complete independence from the British Raj
and instigated the Congress's decisive shift towards the left. He
served as Minister of Defence: 10 February 1953 - 10 January 1955,
30 January 1957 - 17 April 1957 and 31 October 1962 - 14 November
1962. He served as Minister of Finance: 24 July 1956 - 30 August
1956 and 13 February 1958 - 13 March 1958. He served as Minister of
External Affairs: 02 September 1946 - 27 May 1964. He served as Vice
President of Executive Council: 02 September 1946 - 15 August 1947.
He was Member of Parliament, Lok Sabha: 1952-1964.
Nehru's health began declining steadily after 1962, and he spent
months recuperating in Kashmir through 1963. Some historians
attribute this dramatic decline to his surprise and chagrin over the
Sino-Indian War, which he perceived as a betrayal of trust. Upon his
return from Dehradun on 26 May 1964, Nehru was feeling quite
comfortable and went to bed at about 23:30 as usual, he had a
restful night until about 06:30 soon after he returned from
bathroom, Nehru complained of pain in the back. He spoke to the
doctors who attended on him for a brief while and almost immediately
Nehru collapsed. He remained unconscious until he died. His death
was announced to Lok Sabha at 14:00 local time on 27 May 1964 (same
day); cause of death is believed to be heart attack. |

Centenary of Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar 1891-1991.
Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (14 April 1891 06 December 1956), also
known as Babasaheb Ambedkar, was an Indian jurist, economist,
politician and social reformer who inspired the Dalit Buddhist
movement and campaigned against social discrimination towards the
untouchables (Dalits). He was independent India's first law and
justice minister, the major architect of the Constitution of India.
His teacher, Krishna Keshav Ambedkar, changed his surname from 'Ambadawekar'
to his own surname 'Ambedkar' in school records. In 1906, when he
was about 15 years old, his marriage to a nine-year-old girl,
Ramabai (b. 07 February 1898 - d. 27 May 1935), was arranged.
Ramabai died at the age of 37 at Rajgruha in Hindu Colony, Dadar,
Bombay, after a prolonged illness. She had been married to Ambedkar
for 29 years. The couple had five children Yashwant, Gangadhar,
Ramesh, Indu (daughter) and Rajratna. Apart from Yashwant
(19121977), the other four died in their childhood.
In 1932, British announced the formation of a separate electorate
for "Depressed Classes" in the Communal Award. Gandhi fiercely
opposed a separate electorate for untouchables, saying he feared
that such an arrangement would divide the Hindu community. Gandhi
protested by fasting while imprisoned in the Yerwada Central Jail of
Poona. Following the fast, Congress politicians and activists such
as Madan Mohan Malaviya and Palwankar Baloo organised joint meetings
with Ambedkar and his supporters at Yerwada. On 25 September 1932,
the agreement known as Poona Pact was signed between Ambedkar (on
behalf of the depressed classes among Hindus) and Madan Mohan
Malaviya (on behalf of the other Hindus). The agreement gave
reserved seats for the depressed classes in the Provisional
legislatures, within the general electorate. Due to the pact, the
depressed class received 148 seats in the legislature, instead of
the 71 as allocated in the Communal Award earlier proposed by
British Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald.
After the Lahore resolution (1940) of the Muslim League demanding
Pakistan, Ambedkar wrote a 400 page tract titled Thoughts on
Pakistan, which analysed the concept of "Pakistan" in all its
aspects. Ambedkar argued that the Hindus should concede Pakistan to
the Muslims. He proposed that the provincial boundaries of Punjab
and Bengal should be redrawn to separate the Muslim and non-Muslim
majority parts. He thought the Muslims could have no objection to
redrawing provincial boundaries. If they did, they did not quite
"understand the nature of their own demand". Scholar Venkat
Dhulipala states that Thoughts on Pakistan "rocked Indian politics
for a decade". It determined the course of dialogue between the
Muslim League and the Indian Naitonal Congress, paving the way for
the Partition of India.
Ambedkar served as 1st Minister of Law and Justice: 15 August 1947
September 1951, Chairman of the Constitution Drafting Committee: 29
August 1947 24 January 1950 and Labour Member - Viceroy's
Executive Council: 1942 1946. Ambedkar, the Chairman of the
Drafting Committee, presenting the final draft of the Indian
Constitution to President Rajendra Prasad on 25 November 1949. The
Constitution was adopted on 26 November 1949 by the Constituent
Assembly.
Ambedkar was a prolific student, earning doctorates in economics
from both Columbia University and the London School of Economics,
and gained a reputation as a scholar for his research in law,
economics and political science. In his early career he was an
economist, professor, and lawyer. His later life was marked by his
political activities; he became involved in campaigning and
negotiations for India's independence, publishing journals,
advocating political rights and social freedom for Dalits, and
contributing significantly to the establishment of the state of
India. He converted to Buddhism in 1956, initiating mass conversions
of Dalits.
Ambedkar contested in the Bombay North first Indian General Election
of 1952, but lost to his former assistant and Congress Party
candidate Narayan Kajrolkar. Ambedkar became a member of Rajya Sabha,
probably an appointed member. He tried to enter Lok Sabha again in
the by-election of 1954 from Bhandara, but he placed third (the
Congress Party won). By the time of the second general election in
1957, Ambedkar had died.
Ambedkar also criticised Islamic practice in South Asia. While
justifying the Partition of India, he condemned child marriage and
the mistreatment of women in Muslim society.
In 1990, the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian award, was
posthumously conferred upon Ambedkar. Ambedkar's legacy includes
numerous memorials and depictions in popular culture. |

Development Services (ICDS) is a government program in India
which provides food, preschool education, primary healthcare,
immunization, health check-up and referral services to children
under 6 years of age and their mothers. The scheme was launched on
02 October 1975, discontinued in 1978 by the government of Morarji
Desai, and then re-launched by the Tenth Five Year Plan.
Tenth five year plan also linked ICDS to Anganwadi centres
established mainly in rural areas and staffed with frontline
workers. In addition to fighting malnutrition and ill health, the
program is also intended to combat gender inequality by providing
girls the same resources as boys.
A 2005 study found that the ICDS program was not particularly
effective in reducing malnutrition, largely because of
implementation problems and because the poorest states had received
the least coverage and funding. During the 20182019 fiscal year,
the Indian central government allocated ₹16,335 crores to the
program. The widespread network of ICDS has an important role in
combating malnutrition especially for children of weaker groups. |

Assassination of Rajiv Gandhi in 1991. Rajiv Ratna
Gandhi (b. 20 August 1944 d. 21 May 1991) was an Indian
politician who served as the 6th Prime Minister of India from 31
October 1984 to 02 December 1989. He took office after the 31
October 1984 assassination of his mother, Prime Minister Indira
Gandhi, to become the youngest Indian Prime Minister at the age of
40. He served as Leader of the Opposition: 18 December 1989 23
December 1990, President of the Indian National Congress: 19851991
and Member of Parliament
for Amethi: 17 August 1981 21 May 1991.
Gandhi was a scion of the politically powerful Nehru-Gandhi family,
which had been associated with the Indian National Congress party.
For much of his childhood, his maternal grandfather Jawaharlal Nehru
was Prime Minister. Gandhi attended college in the United Kingdom.
He returned to India in 1966 and became a professional pilot for the
state-owned Indian Airlines. In 1968, he married Sonia Gandhi; the
couple settled in Delhi to a domestic life with their children Rahul
Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. For much of the 1970s, his mother
Indira Gandhi was prime minister and his brother Sanjay Gandhi an
MP; despite this, Rajiv Gandhi remained apolitical. After Sanjay's
death in a fighter plane crash in 1980, Gandhi reluctantly entered
politics at the behest of Indira. The following year he won his
brother's Parliamentary seat of Amethi and became a member of the
Lok Sabha - the lower house of India's Parliament. As part of his
political grooming, Rajiv was made general secretary of the Congress
party and given significant responsibility in organising the 1982
Asian Games.
In 1985, the Supreme Court of India ruled in favour of Muslim
divorcee Shah Bano, declaring that her husband should give her
alimony. Some Indian Muslims treated it as an encroachment upon
Muslim Personal Law and protested against it. Gandhi agreed to their
demands. In 1986, the Parliament of India passed The Muslim Women
(Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act 1986, which nullified the
Supreme Court's judgment in the Shah Bano case.
In February 1987, the Pakistani President Zia-ul-Haq did a surprise
visit to Delhi, where he met Gandhi to discuss "routine military
exercises of the Indian army" on the borders of Rajasthan and
Punjab. This visit ease the tension between the two countries and
both countries agreed to host Cricket World Cup the same year.
On 30 July 1987, a day after Gandhi went to Sri Lanka and signed the
Indo-Sri Lanka Accord, an honour guard named Wijemuni Vijitha Rohana
de Silva hit him on his shoulder with his rifle; Gandhi's quick
reflexes saved him from injury. The guard said his intention was to
kill Gandhi because of "the damage he had caused" to Sri Lanka.
Wijemuni was imprisoned for two-and-a-half years for the assault.
Rajiv Gandhi's last public meeting was on 21 May 1991, at
Sriperumbudur, a village approximately 40 km (25 mi) from Madras
(present-day Chennai), where he was assassinated while campaigning
for the Sriperumbudur Lok Sabha Congress candidate. At 10:10 pm, a
woman later identified as Thenmozhi Rajaratnam approached Gandhi in
public and greeted him. She then bent down to touch his feet and
detonated a belt laden with 700 g (1.5 lb) of RDX explosives tucked
under her dress. The explosion killed Gandhi, Rajaratnam, and at
least 25 other people. The assassination was captured by a
21-year-old local photographer, whose camera and film were found at
the site. The cameraman, named Haribabu, died in the blast but the
camera remained intact. Gandhi's mutilated body was airlifted to the
All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi for
post-mortem, reconstruction and embalming.
A state funeral was held for Gandhi on 24 May 1991; it was telecast
live and was attended by dignitaries from over 60 countries. He was
cremated at Veer Bhumi - Delhi, on the banks of the river Yamuna
near the shrines of his mother Indira Gandhi, brother Sanjay Gandhi,
and grandfather Jawaharlal Nehru. |
