In the Early Vedic Period they relied heavily on a pastoral semi-nomadic economy, with limited agriculture. They were…

In Catullus's poems, he expresses his feelings with pure honesty and does not sugarcoat them, in which the book mentions that he "...conveys…

COLONIAL HISTORIOGRAPHY The systematic history writing in the Indian subcontinent started with the coming of the Europeans, who, for their administrative compulsions were required to know the land and its inhabitants whom they were going to rule.

Europeans have imperialized many countries from different regions of the world. They have begun to look at Africa and Asia for future colonization. This time period is known as New Imperialism, which took place from 1800-1914. Before Imperialism, England went through an industrial revolution.

The Swastika has been held to many ideologies over the course of its existence. At present, its most widely known and understood message is that of the Nazi regime; a twisted, anti-Semitic movement that brought the entire world to a screeching, weeping halt.

However, every criminal has a story, and even a criminalized symbol had…
