🇮🇳 FACTS ABOUT INDIA🇮🇳
==========================

The India Gate (formerly known as the All India War Memorial) is a war memorial located astride the Rajpath, on the eastern edge of the “ceremonial axis” of New Delhi, formerly called Kingsway. It stands as a memorial to 90,000 soldiers of the British Indian Army who died in between 1914. Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens.

Following the Bangladesh Liberation war in 1972, a structure consisting of a black marble plinth with a reversed rifle, capped by a war helmet and bounded by four eternal flames, was built beneath the archway. This structure, called Amar Jawan Jyoti (Flame of the Immortal Soldier), has since 1971 served as India’s tomb of the unknown soldier.

dardūrāḥ yatra vaktāraḥ tatra maunaṃ hi śobhate ॥

On the onset of the rainy season, Cuckoo does not sing (but remains silent). Because when there are distressing noises (croaking of the frogs), it is better to be silent (not to degrade your talent).​

वर्षा ऋतु के प्रारंभ में कोयलें चुप हो जाती है,
क्योंकि बोलने वाले जहाँ मेंढक हो वहाँ चुप रहना ही शोभा देता है।
