Hon'ble Sir, It is a matter of great appreciation that the State of Himachal Pradesh has turned into a must visit destination for tourist visiting India while at the same time the State has off late evolved as the tourist hotspot under your stable leadership. We further appreciate the conspicuous quality of surface transport networks that is an uncompromising requirement to boost tourism development to such an extent. Furthermore, for Sikkim and the Sikkimese Buddhists, your State is one of its most sacred pilgrimage centre by virtue of being the land of the above mentioned Rewalsar Lake alias Tso Pema, a sacred lake associated with great Buddhist Master Mahaguru Padmasambhava, the second Buddha who was arrested and put to burning flame by the then King Indrabodhi of Jahor in the 8th century A.D. The Mahaguru converted the flame into the present day Rewalsar Lake alias Tso Pema and miracled himself seated on a lotus amid the lake and thus the name Tso Pema meaning "Lotus Lake". Under the circumstances, may I solicit your dynamic leadership's kind attention and intervention to ensure the following: 1. Renovating and maintaining the Lake befitting to its significance to the entire Buddhist world.

    Reorganisation of State Politics of Sub-Regionalism and Pressure Groups Visit: www.civilstap.com For Any Query Mail us: [email protected] or call us at - (+91)-8146207241 0 POLITICS OF SUB-REGIONALISM AND PRESSURE GROUPS IN THE STATE Regionalism is the expression of a common sense of identity and purpose by people within a specific geographical region, united by its unique language, culture, language, etc. In a positive sense, it encourages people to develop a sense of brotherhood and oneness which seeks to protect the interests of a particular region and promotes the welfare and development of the state and its people. In the negative sense, it implies excessive attachment to one’s region which is a great threat to the unity and integrity of the country. Sub-regionalism is a question of identity rather than distinct identity within the border identity of the region or the state based on social, political and economic distinctiveness. REGIONAL DIVIDE IN THE STATE POLITICS OF HIMACHAL PRADESH • The present-day Himachal Pradesh consists of two types of hill areas i.e the Punjab hills and the Shimla hills. • Shimla Hills: Before independence, the Shimla hills were ruled by native Princes. In these areas the people’s struggle was influenced by the nationalist movement in British India, but its object was never to overthrow or eliminate their Princely States. • Punjab Hills: The Punjab hill areas which joined Himachal Pradesh in 1966 were under direct British administrative control before independence. The people in these areas participated in the struggle for freedom with the specific objective of overthrowing the British rule.

  • Zach Parker Inks Promotional Contract with Team Sauerland
    Zach Parker inks promotional contract with Team Sauerland Team Sauerland is delighted to announce the signing of undefeated British super middleweight Zach Parker (13-0, 10 KOs) on a long-term promotional contract. The 23 year-old from Derbyshire recently announced himself on the domestic scene with an emphatic first-round knockout victory over Luke Blackledge, in an official eliminator for the British Super Middleweight Championship. Parker, who has already made a name for himself on the UK’s ‘small hall’ circuit with a number of impressive performances, has expressed his pleasure at signing with Team Sauerland and finally getting the chance to shine on the big stage. “I can’t thank Team Sauerland enough for this massive opportunity they have given me,’’ said Parker. ‘’I’ve been going under the radar for the last couple years, but now I can really showcase my talents on the biggest stage. “The sky is the limit for me. I believe I have the potential to go all the way and become World Champion, but first, I’ve got my sights set on the British title. I would like to fight the likes of Rocky Fielding in the near future.” Parker will make his promotional debut on October 7 at the Hans-Martin-Schleyer Halle in Stuttgart against Matingu Kindele (9-6-1, 3 KOs) on the undercard of the World Boxing Super Series Quarter-Final clash between Chris Eubank Jr and Avni Yildirim.
