HOW NEHRU CAN TRULY BE CALLED 'THE ARCHITECT OF INDIA'S BIMARU ECONOMIC STRUCTURE'. ................................................................................. - HOW NEHRU INCOMPETENTLY, & PER MANY HISTORIANS, MALICIOUSLY, RUINED EASTERN INDIAN ECONOMIES, LIKE BENGAL, BIHAR, JHARKHAND, MADHYA PRADESH, CHHATTISGARH, & ORISSA, BY HIS ONE SIDED (SUBSIDIZED/EQUALIZED FREIGHT COST OF RAW MATERIAL ONLY & NOT FOR FINISHED GOODS) FREIGHT EQUALIZATION POLICY. - HOW NEHRU IN THE GARB OF A SOCIALIST INDIA, MANAGED TO CREATED A REGRESSIVELY CAPITALISTIC INDIA INSTEAD.

Here are India's 60 yr Share of Wealth stats, from 1961-2020, taken from the 'World Inequality Database'.

Looking at which, most would be forced to ask, why is it that in a wholly socialized state like India (& heavily publicized so at that for 60 yrs)....that our Top 1% 's share in wealth goes up 3 times, Top 10%'s share goes up 1.5 times, BUT SHARE OF THE BOTTOM 50% IS LITERALLY HALVED?

The answer to this lies largely in one man, Nehru, & his policies, either incompetently unintentional or maliciously intentional, policies directly responsible for creating a deeply disparate & heavily lopsided yet overall non-flourishing economic structure, for the entire first half century of the 'Dominion (of Britain) India'.

And the biggest mishap-causing misadventure, being 1951's infamous FREIGHT EQUALIZATION POLICY.

👇

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freight_equalisation_policy#:~:text=Freight%20equalisation%20policy%20was%20adopted,subsidised%20by%20the%20central%20government.

☝

Above is the Russian Govt+military reaction, to Indian 'independence' in mid 1947. This article was published in the Russian central military newspaper 'Red Star' on July 31, 1947, just 2 weeks before the official date of India's so-called Independence.

"Chief economic positions still remain in British hands–railways,marine transport,port economy,irrigation systems,finance,basic part of jute,industry,almost whole mining industry etc"

“The defence of economic positions and interests is not possible without political power. That power will be secured in the person of the capitalists, landowners and businessmen who are dependent upon British capital.”

“The partition, does not affect the feudal power of the Princes who have always supported British domination.”

"The British Govt plans to artificially separate industrial from agricultural areas,turning it to a agrarian & raw material appendage of Britain."

Exactly what Nehru's Freight Equalization Policy achieved 4 yrs later!

And to add to what y'all I assume would already have read from above, as to it's evil designs & effects, it created a reverse-reward scenario, whereby all the resource-rich states were essentially penalized for their natural advantages, by taking away all incentive for processing-industries & final transportation industries, that are a logical next step from the extraction industries, to germinate & set base in these places. Thereby creating a scenario where the South-western & western coastal states like Maharashtra, Gujarat & Tamil Nadu, & parts of Punjab in North India, were able to find logical easy base for all the processing & transportation industries in their states, for industries like steel, cement, heavy manufacturing, & power, all enabled via raw materials from the other far-off states, like iron ore, coal, limestone, bauxite, copper etc, even w/o any personal natural resources to rely on themselves, merely by virtue of being easy locations to set up ports in for exports, & w/o industries having to compromise on higher transportation & value-added processing costs, that cost aspect equalized & protected for all distances from the resource point. All this, with resource states not finding even some respite in terms of return benefits from any possibly subsidized finished product costs, finished goods not covered by this policy!

These 4-5 states effectively thus became the parasites, for atleast 7 of the traditionally god-gifted states of today like Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Bengal & Uttar Pradesh, killing all their hope at industrial development & economic progress, & where there is economic (or lotsa times attached) spiritual hopelessness, springs leftism in all it's devious forms, giving birth to intense communism & it's shameful offsprings of caste-divide & gang-culture, literally turning these states HOUSING HALF OF INDIA'S POPULATION, into the pot-holes of the Indian Union -the BIMARU (for Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh) states of India.

Now in all of this, it's not as if the above-mentioned coastal states were turning themselves into heavens of prosperity either, merely relatively well-off & with a hopeful disposition of the future, that in itself enough to attract large-scale migration from the above BIMARU states, particularly Maharashtra with a more traditionally Hindi-friendly ambience, but also in TN, creating a new urban housing problem, giving birth anew to Mumbai's infamously gargantuan chawl (dingy hutment) lifestyle.

And the reasons for these states, given all these special privileges, not able to take off well enough, aren't directly visible, yet that we can now, on basis of our analysis of Nehru & his so-called Independent India, over innumerable blogs prior, safely interpret, to be an India yet functioning in 1950s & till mid-1960s as some sort of a vassal state of Britain. Only natural then for a supreme state in such a relationship, to not be assumed to desire nations other than itself any sorta economic or strategic base in it's territory, thus curtailing more robust foreign economic to-and-fro.

A utterly class-subservient bent, not seen just for the British race, but per historians, eg Kanchan Gupta, in his hateful sense of complex & hatred of dark-skinned & skinny Bengali community, even worse passionate Hindu Durga-lovers, & per many, all largely borne of his hatred for Bose.

And thus ends yet another inglorious chapter from the life of the self-confessed Last British Ruler of India.

The Tale of the Internal Destruction of India, & it's Premier at it.

CHAPTER XV A WALK ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA

This cell was, to speak correctly, the arsenal and wardrobe of the Nautilus. A dozen diving apparatuses hung from the partition, waiting our use.

Ned Land, on seeing them, showed evident repugnance to dress himself in one.

“But, my worthy Ned, the forests of the Island of Crespo are nothing but submarine forests.”

“Good!” said the disappointed harpooner, who saw his dreams of fresh meat fade away. “And you, M. Aronnax, are you going to dress yourself in those clothes?”

“There is no alternative, Master Ned.”

“As you please, sir,” replied the harpooner, shrugging his shoulders; “but as for me, unless I am forced, I will never get into one.”

“No one will force you, Master Ned,” said Captain Nemo.

“Is Conseil going to risk it?” asked Ned.

“I follow my master wherever he goes,” replied Conseil.

At the Captain’s call two of the ship’s crew came to help us to dress in these heavy and impervious clothes, made of india-rubber without seam, and constructed expressly to resist considerable pressure. One would have thought it a suit of armour, both supple and resisting. This suit formed trousers and waistcoat. The trousers were finished off with thick boots, weighted with heavy leaden soles. The texture of the waistcoat was held together by bands of copper, which crossed the chest, protecting it from the great pressure of the water, and leaving the lungs free to act; the sleeves ended in gloves, which in no way restrained the movement of the hands. There was a vast difference noticeable between these consummate apparatuses and the old cork breastplates, jackets, and other contrivances in vogue during the eighteenth century.

Captain Nemo and one of his companions (a sort of Hercules, who must have possessed great strength), Conseil, and myself, were soon enveloped in the dresses. There remained nothing more to be done but to enclose our heads in the metal box. But before proceeding to this operation, I asked the Captain’s permission to examine the guns we were to carry.

One of the Nautilus men gave me a simple gun, the butt end of which, made of steel, hollow in the centre, was rather large. It served as a reservoir for compressed air, which a valve, worked by a spring, allowed to escape into a metal tube. A box of projectiles, in a groove in the thickness of the butt end, contained about twenty of these electric balls, which, by means of a spring, were forced into the barrel of the gun. As soon as one shot was fired, another was ready.

“Captain Nemo,” said I, “this arm is perfect, and easily handled: I only ask to be allowed to try it. But how shall we gain the bottom of the sea?”

“At this moment, Professor, the Nautilus is stranded in five fathoms, and we have nothing to do but to start.”

“But how shall we get off?”

“You shall see.”

Captain Nemo thrust his head into the helmet, Conseil and I did the same, not without hearing an ironical “Good sport!” from the Canadian. The upper part of our dress terminated in a copper collar upon which was screwed the metal helmet. Three holes, protected by thick glass, allowed us to see in all directions, by simply turning our head in the interior of the head-dress. As soon as it was in position, the Rouquayrol apparatus on our backs began to act; and, for my part, I could breathe with ease.

With the Ruhmkorff lamp hanging from my belt, and the gun in my hand, I was ready to set out. But to speak the truth, imprisoned in these heavy garments, and glued to the deck by my leaden soles, it was impossible for me to take a step.

But this state of things was provided for. I felt myself being pushed into a little room contiguous to the wardrobe-room. My companions followed, towed along in the same way. I heard a water-tight door, furnished with stopper-plates, close upon us, and we were wrapped in profound darkness.

After some minutes, a loud hissing was heard. I felt the cold mount from my feet to my chest. Evidently from some part of the vessel they had, by means of a tap, given entrance to the water, which was invading us, and with which the room was soon filled. A second door cut in the side of the Nautilus then opened. We saw a faint light. In another instant our feet trod the bottom of the sea.

And now, how can I retrace the impression left upon me by that walk under the waters? Words are impotent to relate such wonders! Captain Nemo walked in front, his companion followed some steps behind. Conseil and I remained near each other, as if an exchange of words had been possible through our metallic cases. I no longer felt the weight of my clothing, or of my shoes, of my reservoir of air, or my thick helmet, in the midst of which my head rattled like an almond in its shell.

The light, which lit the soil thirty feet below the surface of the ocean, astonished me by its power. The solar rays shone through the watery mass easily, and dissipated all colour, and I clearly distinguished objects at a distance of a hundred and fifty yards. Beyond that the tints darkened into fine gradations of ultramarine, and faded into vague obscurity. Truly this water which surrounded me was but another air denser than the terrestrial atmosphere, but almost as transparent. Above me was the calm surface of the sea.

We were walking on fine, even sand, not wrinkled, as on a flat shore, which retains the impression of the billows. This dazzling carpet, really a reflector, repelled the rays of the sun with wonderful intensity, which accounted for the vibration which penetrated every atom of liquid. Shall I be believed when I say that, at the depth of thirty feet, I could see as if I was in broad daylight?

For a quarter of an hour I trod on this sand, sown with the impalpable dust of shells. The hull of the Nautilus, resembling a long shoal, disappeared by degrees; but its lantern, when darkness should overtake us in the waters, would help to guide us on board by its distinct rays.

Soon forms of objects outlined in the distance were discernible. I recognised magnificent rocks, hung with a tapestry of zoophytes of the most beautiful kind, and I was at first struck by the peculiar effect of this medium.

It was then ten in the morning; the rays of the sun struck the surface of the waves at rather an oblique angle, and at the touch of their light, decomposed by refraction as through a prism, flowers, rocks, plants, shells, and polypi were shaded at the edges by the seven solar colours. It was marvellous, a feast for the eyes, this complication of coloured tints, a perfect kaleidoscope of green, yellow, orange, violet, indigo, and blue; in one word, the whole palette of an enthusiastic colourist! Why could I not communicate to Conseil the lively sensations which were mounting to my brain, and rival him in expressions of admiration? For aught I knew, Captain Nemo and his companion might be able to exchange thoughts by means of signs previously agreed upon. So, for want of better, I talked to myself; I declaimed in the copper box which covered my head, thereby expending more air in vain words than was perhaps expedient.

Various kinds of isis, clusters of pure tuft-coral, prickly fungi, and anemones formed a brilliant garden of flowers, enamelled with porphitæ, decked with their collarettes of blue tentacles, sea-stars studding the sandy bottom, together with asterophytons like fine lace embroidered by the hands of naïads, whose festoons were waved by the gentle undulations caused by our walk. It was a real grief to me to crush under my feet the brilliant specimens of molluscs which strewed the ground by thousands, of hammer-heads, donaciae (veritable bounding shells), of staircases, and red helmet-shells, angel-wings, and many others produced by this inexhaustible ocean. But we were bound to walk, so we went on, whilst above our heads waved shoals of physalides leaving their tentacles to float in their train, medusæ whose umbrellas of opal or rose-pink, escalloped with a band of blue, sheltered us from the rays of the sun and fiery pelagiæ, which, in the darkness, would have strewn our path with phosphorescent light.

All these wonders I saw in the space of a quarter of a mile, scarcely stopping, and following Captain Nemo, who beckoned me on by signs. Soon the nature of the soil changed; to the sandy plain succeeded an extent of slimy mud, which the Americans call “ooze,” composed of equal parts of silicious and calcareous shells. We then travelled over a plain of sea-weed of wild and luxuriant vegetation. This sward was of close texture, and soft to the feet, and rivalled the softest carpet woven by the hand of man. But whilst verdure was spread at our feet, it did not abandon our heads. A light network of marine plants, of that inexhaustible family of sea-weeds of which more than two thousand kinds are known, grew on the surface of the water. I saw long ribbons of fucus floating, some globular, others tuberous; laurenciæ and cladostephi of most delicate foliage, and some rhodomeniæ palmatæ, resembling the fan of a cactus. I noticed that the green plants kept nearer the top of the sea, whilst the red were at a greater depth, leaving to the black or brown hydrophytes the care of forming gardens and parterres in the remote beds of the ocean.

We had quitted the Nautilus about an hour and a half. It was near noon; I knew by the perpendicularity of the sun’s rays, which were no longer refracted. The magical colours disappeared by degrees, and the shades of emerald and sapphire were effaced. We walked with a regular step, which rang upon the ground with astonishing intensity; the slightest noise was transmitted with a quickness to which the ear is unaccustomed on the earth; indeed, water is a better conductor of sound than air, in the ratio of four to one. At this period the earth sloped downwards; the light took a uniform tint. We were at a depth of a hundred and five yards and twenty inches, undergoing a pressure of six atmospheres.

At this depth I could still see the rays of the sun, though feebly; to their intense brilliancy had succeeded a reddish twilight, the lowest state between day and night; but we could still see well enough; it was not necessary to resort to the Ruhmkorff apparatus as yet. At this moment Captain Nemo stopped; he waited till I joined him, and then pointed to an obscure mass, looming in the shadow, at a short distance.

“It is the forest of the Island of Crespo,” thought I;—and I was not mistaken.

La Polo: Un Pilastro dell’Abbigliamento Sportivo e del Casual Elegante

Le Origini della Maglia Polo

Le radici della maglia polo affondano nella cultura sportiva dell’India coloniale, dove gli ufficiali inglesi scoprirono e adottarono il gioco del polo. Questo sport, già praticato in Persia, Tibet e Cina, fu introdotto in India dai conquistatori musulmani nel XIII secolo. Gli ufficiali britannici, affascinati da questa attività, iniziarono a praticarla con passione, fondando nel 1859 il primo Polo Club, seguito da quello di Calcutta nei primi anni Sessanta dell’Ottocento. Durante le partite, indossavano maglie leggere, perfette per le esigenze del gioco e ideali per le condizioni climatiche indiane.

Il diffondersi delle attività sportive tra nobiltà e borghesia europea alla fine del XIX secolo stimolò la creazione di capi di abbigliamento sportivo adeguati. La maglia polo si inserì perfettamente in questo contesto, diventando un capo essenziale non solo per il polo, ma anche per altre discipline che richiedevano un abbigliamento pratico e comodo. La sua leggerezza e la capacità di assorbire il sudore la resero particolarmente adatta a sport come il tennis e il golf.

L’Introduzione della Polo nel Tennis

Il tennis, uno sport che all’inizio del XX secolo veniva giocato con abiti molto formali, subì una rivoluzione stilistica grazie al tennista francese René Lacoste. Nel 1926, Lacoste disegnò una nuova maglietta, chiamata “jersey petit piqué”, ispirata proprio alla maglia utilizzata dai giocatori di polo. Questo capo, con il suo colletto e i suoi bottoni, era un’innovazione rispetto agli abiti ingombranti e scomodi indossati fino ad allora sui campi da tennis.

Lacoste introdusse una maglia che non solo migliorava la libertà di movimento, ma che si affermò rapidamente come standard per l’abbigliamento sportivo. L’idea di Lacoste di applicare un piccolo coccodrillo sulla maglietta – un simbolo che oggi è sinonimo di eleganza sportiva – rese la polo ancora più riconoscibile e desiderabile. Con la fondazione dell’azienda Chemise Lacoste nel 1933, la maglia polo divenne un fenomeno globale, conquistando sia il mondo dello sport che quello della moda.

L’Evoluzione della Polo: Dallo Sport all’Uso Informale

Il termine “polo” originariamente significava “palla” (dal tibetano “pula”), ma presto venne associato all’indumento indossato dai giocatori di questo sport. A fine Ottocento, i giocatori di polo cominciarono a preferire maglie con colletto e bottoni, per evitare che i colletti si sollevassero durante il gioco. Questa innovazione stilistica fu notata da John Brooks, che la introdusse nella produzione delle camicie “button-down”, ancora oggi un classico nell’abbigliamento sportivo e casual.

Negli anni Cinquanta, il termine polo si estese a tutte le magliette utilizzate nel tennis, consolidandosi come un capo di riferimento. Nel 1972, Ralph Lauren lanciò la sua linea di moda chiamata “Polo”, consacrando definitivamente la maglia polo come un’icona di stile, sia sui campi da gioco che nelle occasioni informali.

L’azienda argentina La Martina, fondata nel 1985, ha contribuito ulteriormente alla diffusione della maglia polo, producendo non solo selle e stivali, ma anche magliette per le squadre di polo. Le maglie Replica, fedeli riproduzioni delle maglie indossate dai giocatori, sono oggi molto popolari per il loro design accattivante e i dettagli curati, inclusi loghi e numeri ricamati.

La Polo Oggi: Un Capo Versatile e di Tendenza

Oggi, la maglia polo è un elemento chiave dell’abbigliamento sportivo e casual in tutto il mondo. Grazie alla sua capacità di combinare stile e praticità, la polo è ampiamente utilizzata in contesti dove non è richiesto un abbigliamento formale, ma dove un look completamente casual potrebbe risultare inappropriato. La versatilità della polo, disponibile in versioni a manica corta o lunga, la rende una scelta ideale per chi cerca un compromesso tra eleganza e comfort.

La polo continua a essere un capo fondamentale nell’abbigliamento sportivo, apprezzata non solo per la sua storia e tradizione, ma anche per la sua capacità di adattarsi alle esigenze moderne. Che sia indossata sul campo da golf, durante una partita di tennis, o semplicemente per un’uscita informale, la maglia polo rimane una scelta di stile senza tempo, capace di attraversare decenni senza mai passare di moda.

While the world watches USA and Britain protect Israel which they created so that now they can rob Gaza and build a canal to rob Egypt and the Middle East, do remember what Britain did to India.

Gospel Truth is Very Bitter and not many appreciate it. To view my Priva... The Gospel Truth is Very Bitter and not many appreciate it. To view my Private Videos, I need your email address. https://youtu.be/EYW7aL4lvKA Many people do not want to know about religion, making it unpleasant to talk among them. So, they complained to YouTube and removed my video under "Hate Speech". So, the best way is to put such Gospel Truth Videos under "Private". Here are my general views:- Holy spirit, common sense, shatters the fetters of the dead letters, the Holy Books called Scriptures that ended with John, the Baptist - Luke 16v16. If we have One God, our Supernatural Father of our souls, then there should be one Faith. In Christianity, Jesus said One Fold called the Church of God headed by One Shepherd, our Bridegroom Christ Jesus/Christ = Satguru Nanak Dev Ji, the Second coming of Jesus. Solid Proof; this Golden Temple is of the same size as the Holiest of Holy that used to be in Jerusalem and its Curtain held the Secrets of the Oral Torah = His Word was rendered from the Top, the Temple High Priests, to the Bottom, the village Rabbis off you go – Luke 16v16; Law and Prophets were till John and thus, everyone makes a direct approach to God through His Word = Logo = SATGUR PARSAD. So, these hireling Dog-Collared Priests and Mullahs, cannot give your account to God as the Rabbis used to give at Passover. So, they are "ANTICHRISTS" that have a following of the spiritually blind Super Bastard Fanatic Devils - John 8v44 -, Hindu, Jew, Sikh, Christian, Muslim, etc. Outwardly, and not spiritually inwardly. These spiritual selves Hindu, Jew and Christian, are never born like Christ, the Title and they never die but the tribal selves Judah, Levi, Jatt, Tarkhan, etc. were born and they will die. Thus, Jesus was born and Jesus died on the Cross and rose on the Third Day and NOT CHRIST, THE TITLE. Greatest Blasphemers and Killers Blair and Bush being considered by Anti-Christ Bishops for the Nobel Peace Prize. The Nobel Peace Prize should rather go to Assange and the Iraqi Journalist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qHdTpTXHvE&list=PL0C8AFaJhsWz7HtQEhV91eAKugUw73PW1 Christ Jesus was killed by the Temple High Priest Hypocrite/Blasphemer against the Holy Spirit and so were Bush and Blair who at the backing of Jewish people in the USA destroyed one country after the other starting with the cradle of Humanity Iraq, the Land of the forefather of the Chosen People who is no more faithful to Abraham but has become sons of the Highest Satan Al-Djmar Al-Aksa. Blair and Bush’s blasphemies against the Holy Spirit:- https://youtu.be/0WBYOmpDuCs American Jews are today – http://www.gnosticgospel.co.uk/GrimReaper.htm Destroying one country after the other, so that the scripture is fulfilled. Also, do not forget the partition of India - World Wars for the British. “Kingdom of Heaven”:- http://gnosticgospel.co.uk/faithfat.pdf Another:- https://youtu.be/qDU964t_0i0 www.http://gnosticgospel.co.uk/starttrib.htm https://youtu.be/FQIjTHe_pOs Super Hitler Putin:- https://www.youtube.com/@ChaudhryRajinderNijjharJatt/search?query=Putin He is the tribal man of God and he will sort out the Blasphemer USA and the West, Tony Blair and Bush, that Saddam Hussein had WMD but none were found by an Army Major General who runs Military International Ministry in the name of Christ Jesus. Such Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is not FORGIVABLE but punished by God through the Tribal people of Yahweh. The psychic politicians, Dog-Collared Priests, etc. deliver sugar-coated sermons for the following but to enter the Royal Kingdom of God, you need to be solitary as Christ Jesus was. https://youtu.be/pNLRxZpWHlg Living Islam of Living Allah is of the “Al-Kitab” that gets written over your own heart through "Logical Reasoning" by the Grace of our Supernatural Father of our supernatural “Soul” Al-Ilah = Allah. No son of your tribal father, Qom, "Ilah", no son of Supernatural Father Allah. Only “fools” will believe in me and not in Allah. ASK, SEEK AND KNOCK. REAL SHARIAH-FREE ISLAM OF ALLAH - NOOR IN HONOUR OF ROYAL SHAH SHAMS TABRIZI. HUKUM RAZIAN CHALNA; NANAK LIKHYA NAAL. Sants of the Fourth Panth = Millatt are “Dass” and the Khalsas of the Third Panth are “Singh” surnames, Gotras. And Nanak was the Second Coming of Jesus, the “Christ = Satguru” and not a Brahmin “Guru”.

Cricket cos'è e quali sono le regole di questo sport

Nuovo post pubblicato su https://wdonna.it/cricket-cose-e-quali-sono-le-regole-di-questo-sport/116414?utm_source=TR&utm_medium=Tumblr&utm_campaign=116414

Cricket cos'è e quali sono le regole di questo sport

Il cricket è uno sport di squadra con una lunga storia che è particolarmente popolare in molti paesi, tra cui India, Pakistan, Inghilterra, Australia e molte nazioni del Commonwealth. Questo sport coinvolge due squadre, ognuna delle quali composta da 11 giocatori, e si svolge su un campo rettangolare con una lunga striscia centrale chiamata “pitch”. Ecco tutto ciò che c’è da sapere sul cricket:

1. Obiettivo del Gioco: Il cricket è un gioco in cui una squadra cerca di accumulare punti (run) mentre l’altra squadra cerca di eliminare i battitori avversari e prevenire che segnino punti. Ogni squadra ha un’opportunità di battere (batting) e di lanciare (bowling) e deve cercare di bilanciare abilmente le due fasi del gioco.

2. Le Due Fasi del Gioco: Il gioco di cricket si divide in due fasi: il “lancio” e il “battuta”.

Lancio (Bowling): Durante la fase di lancio, una squadra cerca di eliminare i battitori avversari colpendo i loro wicket con la palla. I lanciatori (bowler) cercano di eseguire diverse tipologie di lancio, come i “fast bowlers” (lanciatori veloci) e i “spin bowlers” (lanciatori di effetto).

Battuta (Batting): Durante la fase di battuta, l’obiettivo della squadra è segnare il massimo numero possibile di punti. I battitori cercano di colpire la palla lanciata dagli avversari e guadagnare punti correndo tra i wicket. Il punteggio di una squadra è il totale dei punti accumulati dai suoi battitori.

3. Struttura di una Partita: Le partite di cricket possono essere di diverse forme, ma le più comuni sono:

Test Match: È la forma più tradizionale del cricket, giocata su un massimo di cinque giorni, con due turni di battuta per ciascuna squadra.

One-Day International (ODI): Partite a un giorno con una durata limitata (solitamente 50 overs per squadra, dove un over consiste di sei lanci).

Twenty20 (T20): Partite più brevi con una durata di 20 overs per squadra, progettate per essere più veloci e spettacolari.

4. Le Regole di Base: Alcune delle regole di base del cricket includono:

Ogni squadra ha 11 giocatori in campo alla volta.

Il battitore è “fuori” quando i suoi wicket vengono colpiti dalla palla o quando la palla viene catturata da un difensore.

I battitori cercano di guadagnare punti correndo tra i wicket o colpendo la palla oltre i confini del campo (6 punti se la palla attraversa il confine, 4 punti se tocca il terreno prima).

I lanciatori cercano di eliminare i battitori, ma devono seguire regole specifiche sui loro movimenti.

5. Regole Complesse: Il cricket è noto per le sue regole complesse e sottigliezze, come il sistema di “duckworth-lewis” per calcolare i punteggi nelle partite interrotte dalla pioggia o il sistema “umpire’s call” per decidere le decisioni controversie delle decisioni degli arbitri.

6. Abbigliamento e Attrezzatura: I giocatori di cricket indossano abbigliamento protettivo che include elmetti, guanti, ginocchiere e altre protezioni. Gli strumenti principali includono le palle da cricket, le mazze e le protezioni per il corpo.

7. Popolarità Globale: Il cricket è particolarmente popolare in India, Pakistan, Australia, Inghilterra e altre nazioni. Il cricket è anche uno degli sport più seguiti al mondo e vanta una vasta base di appassionati e giocatori amatoriali.

Questi sono solo gli elementi di base del cricket, ma il gioco è noto per la sua complessità e la sua ricca tradizione. Il cricket offre una combinazione unica di strategia, abilità e resistenza fisica ed è amato da milioni di persone in tutto il mondo.

Vip del Criket

Il cricket è uno sport con una vasta base di appassionati e numerosi giocatori celebri noti come “VIP del cricket”. Questi giocatori spesso raggiungono lo status di celebrità grazie alle loro straordinarie prestazioni, leadership sul campo e contributi significativi al mondo del cricket. Di seguito, elenco alcuni dei VIP più noti del cricket:

Sachin Tendulkar (India): Spesso considerato uno dei migliori battitori della storia del cricket, Sachin Tendulkar è un’icona indiana e detiene numerosi record nel cricket internazionale. È stato uno dei giocatori più amati e rispettati del mondo.

Sir Don Bradman (Australia): Conosciuto come il più grande battitore di tutti i tempi, Sir Don Bradman ha una media di battuta straordinaria di 99,94 in test match, un record che rimane imbattuto.

Sir Vivian Richards (Indie Occidentali): Conosciuto come “Master Blaster,” Vivian Richards è stato uno dei battitori più spettacolari e temuti della sua epoca. Ha guidato le Indie Occidentali al successo in molti tornei.

Imran Khan (Pakistan): Oltre a essere un grande giocatore, Imran Khan è diventato una figura politica di spicco in Pakistan. Ha guidato la nazionale pakistana alla vittoria nella Coppa del Mondo di cricket nel 1992.

Sir Richard Hadlee (Nuova Zelanda): Sir Richard Hadlee è stato uno dei migliori giocatori di cricket di tutti i tempi. Era un lanciatore eccezionale e deteneva numerosi record per il numero di prese in test match.

Brian Lara (Indie Occidentali): Brian Lara è noto per essere uno dei migliori battitori delle Indie Occidentali e detiene il record per il punteggio più alto in una singola entrata in test match, con 400 non eliminati.

Kapil Dev (India): Kapil Dev è stato il capitano dell’India durante la storica vittoria nella Coppa del Mondo di cricket nel 1983. Era noto sia per la sua abilità di lanciatore che per quella di battitore.

Shane Warne (Australia): Shane Warne è stato uno dei lanciatori più spettacolari e di successo della storia del cricket. Era noto per i suoi lanci con effetto e il suo contributo alla vittoria dell’Australia nella Coppa del Mondo.

Muttiah Muralitharan (Sri Lanka): Muttiah Muralitharan è uno dei più grandi lanciatori di tutti i tempi, con il maggior numero di prese in test match. Era noto per il suo lancio ad effetto.

Sourav Ganguly (India): Sourav Ganguly è stato uno dei capitani più influenti dell’India ed è stato responsabile di una notevole trasformazione nella mentalità della squadra.

Questi sono solo alcuni dei VIP del cricket, ma ci sono molti altri giocatori che hanno contribuito significativamente al mondo di questo sport e hanno ottenuto uno status speciale nella storia del cricket.

Translucent Concrete Market Size 2023-2035

Research Nester published a report titled “Translucent Concrete Market: Global Demand Analysis & Opportunity Outlook 2035” which delivers detailed overview of the global translucent concrete market in terms of market segmentation by application, end-user, and by region.

Further, for the in-depth analysis, the report encompasses the industry growth indicators, restraints, supply and demand risk, along with detailed discussion on current and future market trends that are associated with the growth of the market.

The global translucent concrete market is anticipated to attain a CAGR of ~30% over the forecast period, i.e., 2022 – 2035. The market is segmented on the basis of end-user into residential, commercial, industrial and others, out of which, the commercial segment is anticipated to hold the notable share over the forecast period owing to the increasing demand for partitions in office, banks, or other commercial spaces, and translucent concrete can deliver an aesthetic look to the space.

The global translucent concrete market is estimated to grow on the back of increasing adoption of sustainable construction practices, along with rising demand for aesthetical products for construction. Translucent concrete allows light to pass through, which significantly reduces the electricity consumption in lighting the whole place. This concrete is ideal for façade construction, such as, cladding for internal walls, false ceilings, and others. Such factors are estimated to contribute to the market growth.

On the basis of geographical analysis, the global translucent concrete market is segmented into five major regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa region. The market in the North America region is anticipated to gain the largest market share throughout the forecast period on the back of rising construction activities in the region, backed by growing urban population, along with rising concerns regarding greenhouse emissions from buildings.

The research is global in nature and covers detailed analysis on the market in North America (U.S., Canada), Europe (U.K., Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Hungary, Belgium, Netherlands & Luxembourg, NORDIC [Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark], Poland, Turkey, Russia, Rest of Europe), Latin America (Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Rest of Latin America), Asia-Pacific (China, India, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Rest of Asia-Pacific), Middle East and Africa (Israel, GCC [Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman], North Africa, South Africa, Rest of Middle East and Africa). In addition, analysis comprising market size, Y-O-Y growth & opportunity analysis, market players’ competitive study, investment opportunities, demand for future outlook etc. has also been covered and displayed in the research report.

Request Report Sample@ https://www.researchnester.com/sample-request-3816

Growing Environmental Concerns to Boost the Market Growth

According to the data by the U.S. Environment Protection Agency (EPA), buildings account for 39% of the total energy use, and 68% of the total electricity consumption in the United States.

Translucent concrete can significantly reduce energy consumption of a building, as it can lighten up the whole room with one light source. Moreover, it also allows heat to pass through, therefore, significantly saving the energy spent in HVAC systems.

The various Vedic remedies for these doshas help the couple live a happy married life. Please consult an experienced Crystal gazer before making a final decision. This is an analysis of Vedic texts. This helps us locate the ideal soul mate. To analyze the degree of likeness between a child and a young woman, we employ the Vedic Asta Kuta approach.

While all gunas are widespread, a few are extra widespread when you consider that they make critical doshas in a kundli and feature extra focus. In this way, the maximum of all gunas might be Nadi, Bhakoot, and Gana.

However, the match is viewed as the when the accomplices have a place with a similar Nadi and 0 point is scored. At several 0 points out of 8, it is classified as "Nadi Dosha ''. As per the well known kundli matching by name origination, when both the accomplices have a place with Aadi Nadi, there are solid possibilities of partition and separation.

Crystal gazing specialists recommend that the people disregard the dosh and choose to wed, they could confront issues after marriage. There are probabilities that couples probably won't find any fascination towards one another.

Since Master Smash and Maa Sita had 36 gunns coordinating, it was the explanation that they invested less energy after marriage and the wedded life was not quite kundli matching online and tranquil, however the adoration between them was huge. It is said somewhere around 18 angles should match well between both the kundlis to celestially authorize the marriage between the two accomplices being referred to. Just when this is finished, the roadster can expect to live as one and joy with less issues in their married life.

Presently you can find an investigation of hitched life and labor doshas and ideal planetary situations and aftereffects of kutas.

You can choose South Indian, East, and North Indian Kundli styles to check birth outlines for marriage coordinating.

Each koota represents a different area of married life. The duo allegedly began grabbing each other in Varna Koota. Vashya Koota describes the couple's faith in one another. Tara Koota discusses the duration of married life. Yoni Koota describes the couple's success and financial situation. It also describes online kundli matching the couple's genuine attraction to one another. The story of Graha Maitri Koota is one of family and home. The psychological similarity between the couple is described in Gana Koota. The couple's joy is described in Rashi Koota. Nadi Koota finally talks about labor and genuine resemblance.

We truly desire the Rashi and Nakshatra of the child and the young lady for fundamental similarities. However, for a thorough assessment, we need the child's and young woman's birth details, including their date of birth, month of birth, and place of birth. This Vedic similarity method is applied in a significant region of India.

Assuming 18 to 24 angles match, the marriage can be supported. Notwithstanding, the consequences of similarity will be normal. Matching of 25 to 32 viewpoints is viewed as a generally excellent coordinate with the possibilities of the couple guaranteeing an extremely blissful marriage. For endorsing a marriage, there should be at least 18 Guna matches between the lady and the lucky man. On the off chance that the matching Gunas are under 18, the proposed match isn't supported. On the off chance that 18 to 25 Gunas match, it is deemed as a decent marriage. A best match results when 26 to 32 Gunas match. The above information is about kundli matching for marriage.
