Which is the Wolrd's Best University ?

Some say MIT, Oxford, Harvard
Some of the People say IIT's, IIM's

We cannot disagree that of course,Because today/s education terms and standards have been changed.

Any one us will agree that India has the World's Best University?

Probably most of us,

Say Noo.

But infact Yes, We had the World's Best University and First University in the World.

Students from  Babylonia, Greece, Syria, Arabia, Phoenicia and China came to study here    

Its none other than 

Takshashila University




It is present at North west part of India, in Present Day map it is in Pakistan
It is also told as One of the main tourist Spot of Pakistan.

we are familiar with Name Bharatha, from where our Nation India name derives earlier

The Son of Bhartha is Takshan, and in The Epics Ramayana and Mahabharatha this Takshashila name will be used often for education

But by the time it came to light was 2,800 years ago,  800BCE, At that time it was captured by Cyrus I and  Darius III from Persia



In 317 BC, Chandra Gupta Muarya took control over Takshashila by Defeating Greeks
Chandragupta Maurya, is also said to have been a professor teaching in Takshashila

Vedas, Language, Grammar, Philosophy, Medicine, Surgery, Archery, Politics, Warfare, Astronomy, 
Astrology, Accounts, Commerce, Futurology, Documentation, Music, Dance, etc have been taught here

Like all our Present colleges and universities, it also has  
Takshashila was largely a hub for post-graduate studies. 
Students had to complete their primary and secondary education elsewhere before being admitted to Takshashila. 


Takshashila had no structured syllabus or mode of instruction. 
Several great teachers taught large numbers of students here. 
One could attend the classroom of any teacher he wished to learn from

The students never had to pay any fees 
As a result of this policy, even the poor could learn from great masters if they were capable.


When Alexander’s armies came to the Punjab in the fourth century B.C., Takshashila had already developed a reputation as an important seat of learning. 
Thus on his return Alexander took many scholars from there with him to Greece.

Kautilya (also called Chanakya), the influential Prime Minister of the founder of the Mauryan Empire, 

Author of the political treatise Arthashastra 


Charaka “Indian father of Medicine” . 























Vishnu Sharma’s who wrote Panchatantra  tales



Panini, father of linguistics  who is mainly responsible for the development of the most scientific language in this world Sanskrit


All these great persons,which are well known even today are the students of this Great University.

Now we can say easily that Indian Universities are the best, where rest of the world doesnt even know what University means

But as days passed,Takshashila had to face the brunt of attacks and invasions from the north and the west. 
Thus the Persians, Greeks, Parthians, Shakas and Kushanas laid their destructive marks on this institution. The final blow, however, 
came from the Huns (also the destroyers of the Roman Empire) who, A.D. c.450, razed the institution

Image
In a car, which has a multi(4/6/8) cylinder engine, the above nomenclature viz. 1.6L,1.4L, etc. refers to the combined volume capacity of all the cylinders( expressed in cubic centimeters, 1L=1000 cc).  Here volume capacity refers to the swept volume or displacement volume or breathing capacity of the cylinder. It is basically the volume of air that can be sucked insde the cylinder as the stroke moves from TDC to BDC. Swept Volume,  V= pi/4*d^2*L*K   , where                                            d- Bore, L-Stroke,  K-no. of cylinders. This is the common terminology used to specify the engine size. A 1.2L engine means a 1.2 litre engine, which is equal to 1200cc (cc = cubic capacity).  Hope that explains it! Pros/Cons: Usually, hig...

Difference between a muffler and a catalytic converter

-
Image
A muffler makes the  car  quiet, the cat makes the exhaust clean. Cars built after 1974 originally had both, but it's legal to run with no muffler as long as the car isn't too loud. The cat is required, you can't pass emissions without one. Some people will remove the cat, if they live in a county without  emissions testing , but that is illegal. If you have a car with no  catalytic converter , and the muffler goes bad, sure you could put a cat on instead. They're more expensive, and louder, but that would get you legal. Actually, the cat is supposed to be mounted closer to the engine, where there is more exhaust heat to burn off exhaust crud. I suppose if you wanted to, you could run two catalytic converters. That would greatly restrict your exhaust and cut down on horsepower, probably reduce fuel economy as well. Probably wouldn't help emissions, either. hey are two totally different things,each with it's own  seperate purpose. You could put 2 co...

Nitrox suspension - Gas charged suspensions

The advantages of using a Nitrox suspension - Gas charged suspensions. The rear shock absorbers on current Bajaj Pulsar series bikes are also popularly known as NITROX shock absorbers . These types of shock absorbers are actually called as ‘Gas Filled Shock Absorbers’. The visual differentiation between a conventional shock absorber and a gas filled shock absorber is a small canister (box) which is attached on one side of it. This canister holds a small amount of Nitrogen gas in it. Hence these hydraulic shock absorbers or dampers are called as gas filled shock absorbers. So what is the reason to use a gas filled hydraulic dampers instead of using a conventional one? we'll find out the answer here. The 'Royal Enfield - Bullet Electra' was the first bike in India to have this feature. The Pulsar 150/180 UG II (2’nd upgrade) then became the second model (and the first in the 150 cc and above category) to make this feature available on Indian bikes. A ...
