According to the history of the Fig (Ficus:Carica) recorded in the Ency­ r:lopoodiaBritannica,1 it was probably one of the earliest objects of cultivation. , There are frequent allusions to it in the Hebrew Scriptures. According to ; Herodotus it may have been unknown to the Persians in the days of the First Cyrus. Pliny mentions varieties of figs ani::11the plant played an im­ ..portant part in Latin myths. This history of the fig testifies to the high value • set upon the fruit by' the nations of antiquity but it says nothing about its · early existence in India or its importation to the Indian provinces known to the Greeks and Romans. According to Dr. AITCHISONIZ the Fig orFicus Carica was " probably a of Afghanistan and Persia "3 and it is indigenom; in the Badghis 1. Vide p. 228 of Vol. IX of the Fourteenth Edn. 1920. 11 From !he ease with which the nutritious fruit can be preserved it was probably one of the earliest · objects of cultivation ...... antiquity." I may note here the points in the para ,, noted above:- ( 1) Fig must have spread in remote ages over Agean and Levant ; (2) May have been unknown to Persians in the days of the First Cyrus according to a passage in Herodotus ; (3) Greeks received it from Caria (hence the name Ficus Carica) ; ( 4) Fig, the chief article of sustenance for the Greeks-laws to regulate their exportation-Attic Figs celebrated throughout the East-improved under Helenic Culture ; .

  • Title Title Daily Current Affairs Capsule 19Th December 2020
    Title Daily Current Affairs Capsule 19th DecemberTitle 2020 Pakistan approves chemical castration of sex offenders Pakistan has approved the chemical castration of rapists as part of sweeping new legislation sparked by outcry over the gang rape of a mother on a motorway. New laws approved by President Arif Alvi will see rape cases expedited through the courts and create the country’s first national sex offenders register. Pakistan is a deeply conservative and patriarchal nation where victims of sexual abuse often are too afraid to speak out, or where criminal complaints are frequently not investigated seriously. In September, protests erupted after a mother was raped on the side of the road in front of her children when her car broke down near Lahore. Goa Liberation Day 2020: 19 December Goa Liberation Day is observed on December 19 every year in India and it marks the day Indian armed forces freed Goa in 1961 following 450 years of Portuguese rule. The Portuguese colonised several parts of India in 1510 but by the end of the 19th-century Portuguese colonies in India were limited to Goa, Daman, Diu, Dadra, Nagar Haveli and Anjediva Island. The Goa liberation movement, which sought to end Portuguese colonial rule in Goa, started off with small scale revolts. The 36-hour military operation, conducted from December 18, 1961, was code-named ‘Operation Vijay’ meaning ‘Operation Victory,’ and involved attacks by the Indian Navy, Indian Air Force and Indian Army.
