2021-06-03 06:43:24 Telangana was created as India’s 29th state on 2nd June 2014 @militarychoiceblog

Telangana Formation – Timeline of Events

The region of Telangana was part of the erstwhile Hyderabad State ruled by the Nizam.

In 1955, the States Reorganisation Committee (SRC) recommended the retention of Hyderabad as a separate state. This recommendation was, however, not taken.

The people of Telangana protested that the region was more backward than the coastal regions of Andhra and also alleged that there were injustices in the distribution of budget allocation, employment opportunities and water.

On 1st November 1956, Telangana was merged with the state of Andhra Pradesh, uniting all Telugu-speaking people.

The movement for Telangana continued in the region. There were ‘Jai Telangana’ and ‘Jai Andhra’ movements.

There were violent agitations as well particularly in 1969 and 1972 in which many people were killed in police firing.

After the 1969 agitation, the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi gave the 6-point formula for the fast-paced development of the backward areas and for preferential treatment to local candidates for employment.

In 1997, the BJP supported the formation of a separate state.

In 2001, K Chandrasekhara Rao formed the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) to revive the movement.

In the various elections held in the state of Andhra Pradesh, the people voted for TRS and gave a public impetus to the movement.

In 2009, there was a huge boost to the movement when Rao went on a hunger strike for a separate Telangana, reminding people of the hunger strike and ultimately death of Potti Sreeramulu (Born on March 16, 1901) who agitated for the state of Andhra.

Many young people also committed suicide for the movement.

In 2010, the Srikrishna Committee was appointed to “bring about a permanent solution” to this issue. The committee stated in its report that efforts must be made to bring about equitable development to the three regions of the state of Andhra Pradesh, and it recommended a united Andhra Pradesh.

However, owing to pressure, the Union cabinet approved a bill for the bifurcation of the state.

The Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill was passed in 2014. Hyderabad was suggested as a common capital. It will remain so for not more than ten years after which it will be the capital of Telangana alone, and Andhra Pradesh would get a new capital.

The new state of Telangana was formed on 2nd June 2014.

2021-06-02 18:23:39 The Suryakiran aerobatic display team of the Indian Air Force (IAF), which has enthralled crowds across the country with their hair-raising manoeuvres with their aircraft in red and white, has just completed 25 years. Best Book for Current Affairs & General Knowledge Preparation

One of the few nine aircraft display teams in the world and the only one in Asia, the team has carried out over 600 displays across the country and south east Asia.

“Suryakiran”, which means ‘rays of the sun’ in Sanskrit, was raised on May 27, 1996, at the IAF air base in Bidar, Karnataka, with six Kiran MkII trainer aircraft.

It carried out its first display on September 15, 1996 for the golden jubilee celebrations of the Air Force Administrative College in Coimbatore.

However, the team was disbanded in 2011 after the Aero India show due to shortage of training aircraft in the IAF and was resurrected in 2015 on advanced jet trainer Hawk Mk-132 aircraft.

This team, which has been the brand ambassador of the IAF, is also the 52 squadron of the IAF and is the youngest fighter squadron with the motto “Always the Best”.

2021-06-02 18:20:09 HERERO AND NAMA GENOCIDE @militarychoiceblog

Germany for the first time has recognised that it committed genocide against the Herero and Nama people in present-day Namibia during its colonial rule over a century ago, and promised financial support of over a billion euros to the Southern African nation.

Between 1904 and 1908, German colonial settlers killed tens of thousands of men, women and children from the Herero and Nama tribes after they rebelled against colonial rule in what was then called German South West Africa.

Between 1884 and 1890, Germany formally colonised parts of present-day Namibia — a territory which was roughly twice as large as the European nation, but not as densely populated. By 1903, around 3,000 German settlers had occupied the central high ground of the region.

Tensions quickly rose as local tribes saw the German settlers as a threat to their land and resources. The conflict reached a boiling point in 1904, when the Herero nation — a primarily pastoral community — rebelled against the Germans, and were closely followed by the Nama tribe.

During the Battle of Waterberg, around 80,000 Herero, including women and children, were chased across the desert by German troops. A mere 15,000 survived.

The Germans continued to rule the region till 1915, following which it fell under South Africa’s control for 75 years. Namibia finally gained independence in 1990.

The atrocities committed in what was then known as German South West Africa have been described by some historians as the first genocide of the 20th century.
