Education

Board of School Education (BOSE) announced examinations would not be postponed beyond this month choice for class 10 and class 12 students to appear in examinations, as per their interest, in November 2016 (Half Syllabus) or/and March 2017(Full Syllabus).

instead of the standard practice of having to compulsorily attempt questions from each of the four sections of the question paper, the examinees would now get open choice to attempt any 50 per cent questions,

except in language papers like

  1. English, 
  2. Urdu, 
  3. Hindi and 
  4. others, 

wherein the question papers are not spread over sections.

 “Schools have remained closed for nearly four months due to shutdowns and curfews. The only purpose to hold exams in November is to save the academic career of the students who have to appear in other national and international level competitive exams.”

First Woman on Throne

Kashmir prince, Gonanda, went to help of his relative, Jarasamdha, with a large force, and laid siege to Krishna's city, Mathura. A grim battle ensued but ultimately when Sri Krishna's brother, Balbhadra, joined the fray, the brave Kashmir warrior, was killed.

Gonanda was followed by his son, Damodara. He was also a brave ruler who could not forget the fate his esteemed father had met at the hands of the Yadus. He, therefore, lay in wait for an opportunity to avenge the death of his father. This was not long in coming. Soon he learnt that the Yadus, including their chief, Sri Krishna, were invited to Swayamvara on the banks of the Sindhu (Indus) by the Gandharas. When the illustrious Damodara heard that the Yadus had come, he led an expedition against them but the proud prince met no better fate than his valient father; he too was killed.

Sri Krishna did, however, not incorporate Kashmir into his own domain. Kashmir then had a high reputation for sanctity; it was regarded as the manifestation of goddess Parvati. Sri Krishna, therefore, had Damodara's pregnant widow, Yashovati, installed on the throne. Yashovati is one of the first women to have occupied a throne in the history of the world. Naturally, therefore, many eye- brows were raised when Sri Krishna issued this unprecedented decree; but he calmed the grumbling advisers and asked them to look upon Yashovati as a mother and a goddess. And this is what the people did.

Jambulochan

The name Jammu is derived from its ruler who founded it. Raja Jambulochan founded this city and named it Jambupur which later changed to Jammu. Many historians and locals believe that Jammu was founded by Raja Jambu Lochan in the 14th century BC. During one of his hunting campaigns, he reached the Tawi River where he saw a goat and a lion drinking water at the same place. Having satisfied their thirst, the animals went their own ways. The Raja was amazed, abandoned the idea of hunting and returned to his companions. Recounting what he had seen, he exclaimed that this place, where a lion and a goat could drink water side by side, was a place of peace and tranquility. The Raja commanded that a palace be built at this place and a city was founded around it. This city became known as Jambu-Nagar, which then later changed into Jammu.

The Valley of Kashmir got its name from Kashyap Rishi. According to the Vedic Knowledge, the Kashmir valley was a vast lake called Satisaras, named after Sati or Parvati the consort of Shiva. The lake was inhabited by the demon Jalodbhav. The Nilamat Puran of the 7th century mentions the region being inhabited by two tribes - the Nagas and thePisachas. The lake was drained off by leader of the Nagas called Ananta (Anantnag region of Kashmir is named after him) in order to capture and kill the demon. Ananta later names the valley as Kashyap-mira after his father Kashyap. Kalhana in Rajatarangini (The River of Kings) also mentions Prajapati Kashyap killing Jalodbhava with the help of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. The lake was then drained and comes to be known as Kash-mira after the Rishi Kashyap.
