It was included in the prestigious list, the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, which features practices and traditions which have been passed across generations and are known globally. The Intangible Cultural Heritage list recognizes traditional practices. It has 550 items from 127 countries which have been split into three categories further. A new list is released every year. Nuad Thai massage: It is a famous 2000 year old traditional form of massage of Thailand. It is also known as Thai Yoga massage or Nuad Bo-Rarn. It is a type of Oriental bodywork therapy that is based on the treatment of the human body, mind, and spirit. The actual origin of this Thai massage is India. It was brought it to Thailand about 2,500 years ago by doctors and monks who carried its secrets for generations. Algeria: It is a North African country with a Mediterranean coastline and a Saharan desert interior. Many empires have left legacies here, such as the ancient Roman ruins in seaside Tipaza. In the capital, Algiers, Ottoman landmarks like circa-1612 Ketchaoua Mosque line the hillside Casbah quarter, with its narrow alleys and stairways. The city’s Neo-Byzantine basilica Notre Dame d’Afrique dates to French colonial rule. The currency of Algeria is Dinar. Former Prime Minister of Algeria Abdelmadjid Tebboune has been elected as the President of Algeria succeeding Abdelkader Bensalah.

It has been celebrated since 2005 in tea producing countries like India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Vietnam, Indonesia,Bangladesh, Kenya, Malawi, Malaysia, Uganda and Tanzania. The United Nations has now declared May 21 as International Tea Day after Indian government moved a proposal at the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Intergovernmental Group (IGG) on Tea expanding the observance of International Tea Day through UN FAO. May has been selected because the season of quality tea production starts in May in most of the tea producing countries. The purpose of celebrating this day is to boost its production and consumption, to help in fighting hunger and poverty in rural areas and also improve the condition fo the tea producers and tea workers.It seeks to encourage the status of tea workers, daily wages, social security, employment security, health and workers' rights. IOD: It refers to the Indian Ocean Dialogue (IOD). It is a flagship initiative of the Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA), with its origins in the 13th Council of Ministers meeting, held in November 2013 in Perth, Australia. The first IOD was held in Kerala, India in 2014, in Perth, Australia in 2015 and Padang, Indonesia in 2016, respectively. The 6th Indian Ocean Dialogue and Delhi Dialogue XI was held in at the Pravasi Bharatiya Kendra in New Delhi which was hosted by the External Affairs Ministry. It is for the first time that these two dialogues, which are key elements of India-ASEAN calendars and Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA) was held consecutively and on similar Indo-Pacific themes. The theme for Indian Ocean Dialogue was "Indo-Pacific: Re-imagining the Indian Ocean through an Expanded Geography”. External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar officially announced that India is planning to expand its area covered by its Indo-Pacific policy by including Gulf States and Africa. So far, the Indo- 3 www.civilserviceindia.com Pacific covered Indian Ocean and the Arabian sea. The expansion will help India in its Act East Policy. With the expansion of the Indo-Pacific, ASEAN becomes the geographical centre of a greater perimeter and becomes heart of Indo-Pacific. This will also help India in moving beyond cultural, historical and economic linkages. Indo Pacific: It is a US construct that includes regions between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. The Indo-Pacific is one such mental map which ranges from the eastern shores of the African continent to the western shores of the US that has gained currency in recent times.

Bougainville: 4 www.civilserviceindia.com Bougainville, officially the Autonomous Region of Bougainville, is an autonomous region of Papua New Guinea. The largest island is Bougainville Island, while the region also includes Buka Island and a number of outlying islands and atolls. It is a chain of islands that lie 959 kilometers northwest of Papua New Guinea’s capital, Port Moresby. Bougainville has voted unequivocally for independence. The referendum marks an important part of a peace agreement signed almost 20 years ago. The 2001 Bougainville Peace Agreement ended the deeply divisive nine-year conflict (1988-1997) that lead to the deaths of approximately 20,000 people, or about 10 per cent of Bougainville’s population. Pacific Island Referendum could give the world a tiny New country. Bougainville holds one of the world's largest untapped deposits of copper. It is also rich for fisheries, gold and other resources. So, China seeks to influence an independent Bougainville. Building strong ties with the country will help China increase its presence in the Pacific. Impeachment: It is the process by which a legislative body levels charges against a government official. Impeachment does not in itself remove the official definitively from office; it is similar to an indictment in criminal law, and thus it is essentially the statement of charges against the official. Impeachment in the United States is the process by which the lower house of a legislature brings charges against a civil officer of government for crimes alleged to have been committed, analogous to the bringing of an indictment by a grand jury. The impeached official remains in office until a trial is held. USA: President Donald Trump was impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives on 18 December 2019. He has become the third US president in history to be impeached by the House of Representatives. The House voted on two charges which were - the president had abused his power and that he had obstructed Congress. The vote for the first article of impeachment, abuse of power, was passed 230-197 and the second, for obstruction of Congress, 229-198. Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton are the other two former Presidents who have been impeached. 5 www.civilserviceindia.com National President's Colours award: It is the highest honor bestowed upon a police force in India.

  • Reference Book Iaf Uniforms
    REFERENCE BOOK IAF UNIFORMS MESSAGE 1. IAF today is in the midst of a defining phase in its chequered history. While we are witnessing an unprecedented scale of technological transformation, our air warriors remain firmly anchored to the rich legacy inherited from our illustrious predecessors. As the most visible outward symbols, our Air Force uniforms reflect our collective pride in all the noble values which the IAF represents. For our countrymen, the sight of an air warrior smartly attired in the blue uniform instills a sense of assurance in the security of our Nation. 2. Over the years, IAF uniforms have evolved so as to stay contemporary as well as for enhancing their functionality. In addition to a smart uniform, what actually adds to the persona of an air warrior more is the sense of pride which he/she projects in being a member of the IAF. I am happy that the Dte of Org (Cer) has come out with a reference book on ‘IAF Uniforms’ which covers the different aspects related to our current uniforms in great detail. I am sure that it will serve as good reference source to our air warriors posted at different parts of our country and help towards standardising the uniform patterns across the IAF. 3. I exhort you to wear your uniform with pride and continue striving ceaselessly to prove worthy of it. Jai Hind ! (NAK Browne) New Delhi Air Chief Marshal Jan 2013 Chief of the Air Staff MESSAGE 1. Uniform is an important feature in the life of a soldier. To have a sense of uniformity there cannot be any deviations from the laid down specifications.

  • The Awards of the Republic of India: a Survey in a Broad Historical Context
    THE AWARDS OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDIA: A SURVEY IN A BROAD HISTORICAL CONTEXT ED HAYNES With the Independence of India in 1947, decisions were made and enshrined in the constitution to abandon many aspects of the British heritage as applied to awards, yet in other ways the Indian awards system can be seen as a direct successor to the older system. As the rejection of British awards had become so central to the freedom struggle and as the possession of honors and use of the titles and postnominal abbreviations of these imperial awards carried with it the acrid scent of the collaborator, there was, even before independence, a considerable Indian skepticism regarding the whole idea of state honors. An additional complexity came from the peculiar constitutional condition in which India found itself. While independence came in August 1947, it was a limited independence. India had a Prime Minister but it was a dominion. Any honors awarded had to be approved through London and any new awards required London’s approval and the King’s (the ex-King-Emperor’s) image Figure 1: The Padma Vibhushan. or representation on the award.
