New York City has been shut since mid-March as coronavirus ravaged the metropolis, which has reported over 199,038 coronavirus cases so far and close to 20,000 deaths. US has so far reported more than 1,747,085 COVID-19 cases and over 102,835 fatalities -- both the numbers highest in the world. Regions across New York State began their phased re-opening this month but New York City remained shut as it did not meet the seven health-related criteria necessary for the first phase of reopening. Addressing a press conference on Friday, New York Governor Cuomo said the city is on track to meet all the metrics and will enter phase one of reopening on June 8. US action on Hong Kong ‘doomed to fail’: China The mouthpiece of China‘s ruling Communist Party said US moves to end some trading privileges for Hong Kong ―grossly interfere‖ in China‘s internal affairs and are ―doomed to fail‖.Saturday‘s editorial in the newspaper People‘s Daily was responding to an announcement from President Donald Trump, after China‘s ceremonial Parliament bypassed Hong Kong‘s local legislature to advance legislation that could severely curtail free speech and opposition political activities in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory. It was the ―firm determination of all Chinese people‖ to oppose interference in Hong Kong affairs by any external forces, the paper said.―This hegemonic act of attempting to interfere in Hong Kong affairs and grossly interfere in China‘s internal affairs will not frighten the Chinese people and is doomed to fail,‖ it said.Attempts at ―forcing China to make concessions on core interests including sovereignty and security through blackmailing or coercion...Can only be wishful thinking and day-dreaming!‖ In unusual move, US embassies in Africa speak up on Floyd As Minneapolis burns over the police killing of George Floyd and shock and disappointment in Africa grow, some US embassies on the continent have taken the unusual step of issuing critical statements, saying no one is above the law.The statements came as the head of the African Union Commission, Moussa Faki Mahamat, condemned the ―murder‖ of Floyd and said Friday the continental body rejects the ―continuing discriminatory practices against black citizens of the USA.‖ Africa has not seen the kind of protests over Floyd‘s killing that have erupted across the United States, but many Africans have expressed disgust and dismay, openly wondering when the US will ever get it right. ―WTF? ‗When the looting starts the shooting starts‘?‖ tweeted political cartoonist Patrick Gathara in Kenya, which has its own troubles with police brutality. He, like many, was aghast at the tweet by President Donald Trump, flagged by Twitter as violating rules against ―glorifying violence,‖ that the president later said had been misconstrued. Police: 1 dead after shots fired at protesters in Detroit One person was killed in downtown Detroit after someone in an SUV fired shots into a crowd of people protesting George Floyd‘s death in Minneapolis custody, a Detroit police spokeswoman said Saturday. The shooting occurred about 11:30 pm on Friday near Detroit‘s Greektown entertainment district as officers were confronted with dozens of protesters, said Sgt. Nicole Kirkwood, a police department spokeswoman. She said an officer wasn‘t involved in the shooting. Protests over Floyd’s death overwhelm US authorities again Fires burned unchecked and thousands protesting the police killing of George Floyd ignored a curfew as unrest overwhelmed authorities for another night in Minneapolis, and the Governor acknowledged on Saturday that he didn‘t have enough manpower to contain the chaos. The new round of tumult — which has also spread to other cities — came despite Minnesota Gov Tim Walz vowing Friday to show a more forceful response than city leaders had the day before. But by early Saturday morning, Walz said he didn‘t have enough troops, even with some 500 National Guardsmen.

To enlighten our new generation with the glorious history of India, we are presenting these weekly article on Indian Monarchs and Dynasties. We have highlighted required texts through which our present generation can connect themselves with history very easily Today our article is on SHISHUNAGA DYNASTY The Shaishunaga dynasty is believed to have been the third ruling dynasty of Magadha, an empire of ancient India. According to the Hindu Puranas, this dynasty was the second ruling dynasty of Magadha, succeeding Nagadashaka of the Haryanka dynasty. Shishunaga, the founder of the dynasty, was initially an amatya or "minister" of the last Haryanka dynasty ruler and ascended to the throne after a popular rebellion in c. 421 BCE. The capital of this dynasty initially was Rajgir; but later shifted to Pataliputra, near the present day Patna, during the reign of Kakavarna. According to tradition, Kakavarna was succeeded by his ten sons. This dynasty was succeeded by the Nanda Empire in c. 345 BCE. According to Buddhist tradition, Shishunaga was amatya in Haryanka kingdom, who revolted and became the king Shishunaga founded his dynasty in 413 BCE with its capital in Rajgir and later Pataliputra (both in what is now Bihar). Buddhist sources indicate that he had a secondary capital at Vaishali, formerly the capital of Vajji, until it was conquered by Magadha. The Shaishunaga dynasty ruled one of the largest empires in the Indian subcontinent.Most important achievement of Shisunga was destruction of the pradyota dyanasty of Avanti.This brought to an end the hundred year old rivalry between Magadh and Avanti .From then Avanti became a part of Magadh ruleAccording to the Puranas, Shishunaga was succeeded by his son Kakavarna and according to the Sinhala chronicles by his son Kalashoka. On the basis of the evidence of the Ashokavadana, Hermann Jacobi, Wilhelm Geiger and Ramakrishna Gopal Bhandarkar concluded that both are the same.

  • 5. from Janapadas to Empire
    MODULE - 1 Ancient India 5 Notes FROM JANAPADAS TO EMPIRE In the last chapter we studied how later Vedic people started agriculture in the Ganga basin and settled down in permanent villages. In this chapter, we will discuss how increased agricultural activity and settled life led to the rise of sixteen Mahajanapadas (large territorial states) in north India in sixth century BC. We will also examine the factors, which enabled Magadh one of these states to defeat all others to rise to the status of an empire later under the Mauryas. The Mauryan period was one of great economic and cultural progress. However, the Mauryan Empire collapsed within fifty years of the death of Ashoka. We will analyse the factors responsible for this decline. This period (6th century BC) is also known for the rise of many new religions like Buddhism and Jainism. We will be looking at the factors responsible for the emer- gence of these religions and also inform you about their main doctrines. OBJECTIVES After studying this lesson, you will be able to explain the material and social factors (e.g. growth of agriculture and new social classes), which became the basis for the rise of Mahajanapada and the new religions in the sixth century BC; analyse the doctrine, patronage, spread and impact of Buddhism and Jainism; trace the growth of Indian polity from smaller states to empires and list the six- teen Mahajanapadas; examine the role of Ashoka in the consolidation of the empire through his policy of Dhamma; recognise the main features– administration, economy, society and art under the Mauryas and Identify the causes of the decline of the Mauryan empire.

  • Devaluating the Nandas -A Big Loss to the History of India
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 21, Issue 9, Ver. 8 (Sep. 2016) PP 17-20 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Devaluating The Nandas -A Big Loss To The History Of India SANJAY CHAUDHARI Department Of History,Culture And Archaeology, Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Avadh University, Faizabad, Uttar Pradesh, India Abstract: Indian historians could be blamed for having hostile attitude towards the Nandas. Though Nandas established the first ever empire, covering almost area of present India, they were never recognized for the same. Almost Indian historians neglected their acheivements and have tried to reduce the span of their rule. The Nandas have been referred by distant people of ancient Iran and the classical writers of the Greece. Their strength has been narrated by the scholars who accompanied Alexander in India. Interesting to state that no evidences are available which could confirm the war, that took place between the last Nanda and Chandragupta. Even though the historians narrated the event stating it as a revolution by the people which ousted the last Nanda king. There are few Sanskrit chronicles which connected Chandragupta to Nanda King. These chronicles have stated that Chandragupta was the legitimate son of the last Nanda king. But Indian historians tried their best to present Buddhist evidences which state Chandragupta a resident of Pippalvana and related to Nandas any way. To devaluate the Nandas has created a big historical loss to our ancient history. The whole period from Indus valley civilization to the establishment of sixteen Mahajanapadas is still in the dark.

Sources Political and cultural history of the period from C 600 to 300 BCE is known for the first time by a possibility of comparing evidence from different kinds of literary sources. Buddhist and Jaina texts form an authentic source of the political history of ancient India. The first four books of Sutta pitaka -- the Digha, Majjhima, Samyutta and Anguttara nikayas -- and the entire Vinaya pitaka were composed between the 5th and 3rd centuries BCE. The Sutta nipata also belongs to this period. The Jaina texts Bhagavati sutra and Parisisthaparvan represent the tradition that can be used as historical source material for this period. The Puranas also provide useful information on dynastic history. A comparison of Buddhist, Puranic and Jaina texts on the details of dynastic history reveals more disagreement. This may be due to the fact that they were compiled at different times. Apart from indigenous literary sources, there are number of Greek and Latin narratives of Alexander’s military achievements. They describe the political situation prevailing in northwest on the eve of Alexander’s invasion.
