One of the coin that was so rare in India is 1839 Victoria coin.This was a plan coin that most attract to the collector,its authentication define its trade mark which was surface of the one side of the coin.One side define a image of Victoria & another side its define trade mark &  value of the coin.Fake coin must make by cheater but never made a real good forgeries.Same rule is applied  here its surface must smooth never rough. Its trade mark was little different from another you can easily differentiate. Collector buy it easily with a offer of more than 50,000 rupee.

East India Company bottles are came to India when British came to India for business purpose from year of 1612.They began to ruled in India from year of 1757, Britishers drink wine which they import from British.
At that time all the wines they drink was import from London through ocean by ships.

All British bottles are antique & they are going to sell but some bottles are having rice pulling & water increase nature so function bottles are having high value than plan antique bottles.These bottles are very rear, maximum East Indian Company bottles are already sell. People think plane bottles having also more value so for this cause deal was not done between them. Most plane bottles are available and peoples used some chemical for creating function in the bottles But real Examiner,collector never cheated.


Function of the Bottles: If Bottles have carry a brass ring in the bottom of the bottles than  the probability is their bottles can have function.
At first clean the bottles with a mixture of Eno powder,red soil,turmeric powder & wooden fire dust. Take same quantity of all the materials mixer it & with that mixer clean properly. After that in shadow you examine or better you tried to examine in a house, take half of water in the bottles & mark it. Give that process to 1 hour after that examine the water level its was increase or not.
If the water level increase after 10 to 15 minutes than they used highly concentrated chemical, it was not self functioned.Authentic bottles never functioned at 10 to 15 minutes in that type of case collector not interested.
Original function must did after 1/2 to 1 hour.
Authentic bottles have a label of East India Company 1818, a ring of brass in the bottom of the bottles.

Early wine maker used a brass metal in the bottom of  bottles its help to hold the glass for not braked the bottles. Wine must pressurized the bottles so they used heavy glass & that rings to hold the bottles & protect from pressure. Some bottles have high function they pulled the rice also, at that condition value of the bottles much increase. plane bottles having value from 1 to 5 lakh or less than 1 lakh depend on the collector. But a well functioned bottles have value of more than 50 lakh.

Year of  1962,1963,1964 or made of before coins are need but made of brass metal.
 (CONDITION) : All five paisa made of brass metal can eligible for buy & In coin, bottom of  "ASHOK STHAMBHA" a template was written as (SATYA MEBA JAYATE IN HINDI LETTER). Collector needs its because it was rare old antique & some of Five paisa has the different power likes flame pulling function, color blue function, at this point its value was grow more than its plan coin. But carefully because of its demand fake coins are much in market one of this image was also a fake coin. Rare piece of coins letter never up to the surface of coin its surface was smooth, letter are in sequence. A good examiners can determine the exact coin of five paisa. Because of its fake makers, collector are did not interested now for plane coin. If you have functional coin than its sell quickly. Neither if you  have a authentic coin than also its sell in low cost. A functional can sell more than 50 lakh.
A plane authentic coin decrease its value now its sell now less than 30 thousand rupee.

Originally a professor of economics and political science at the ancient university of Taxila, Chanakya managed the first Maurya emperor Chandragupta's rise to power at a young age. He is widely credited for having played an important role in the establishment of the Maurya Empire, which was the first empire in archaeologically recorded history to rule most of the Indian subcontinent. Chanakya served as the chief advisor to both Chandragupta and his son Bindusara.



Chanakya is traditionally identified as Kautilya or Vishnu Gupta, who authored the ancient Indian political treatise, the Arthaśāstra (Economics). As such, he is considered as the pioneer of the field of political science and economics in India, and his work is thought of as an important precursor to classical economics. His works were lost near the end of the Gupta Empire and not rediscovered until 1915.

Birth
Chanakya was born in a Brahmin family. Chanakya's birthplace is a matter of controversy, and there are multiple theories about his origin. According to the Buddhist text Mahavamsa Tika, his birthplace was Taxila. The Jain scriptures, such as Adbidhana Chintamani, mention him as a Dramila, implying that he was a native of South India. According to the Jain writer Hemachandra's Pariśiṣṭaparva, Chanakya was born in the Canaka village of the Golla region, to a Brahmin named Canin and his wife Canesvari. Other sources mention his father's name as Chanak and state that Chanakya's name derives from his father's name. According to some sources, Chanakya was a brahmin from North India, scholar in Vedas, and a devotee of Vishnu. According to Jain accounts he became Jain in old age like Chandragupta Maurya


Chankya in Film and television 

Television series Chanakya is archetypal account of the life and times of Chanakya, based on the play Mudra Rakshasaa (The Signet Ring of "Rakshasaa")

Indian Hindi channel NDTV Imagine started a Biographical series on the life of Chandragupta

Maurya and his teacher, Chanakya, produced by Sagar Arts. The series is named Chandragupta Maurya.

The song "Make My" by The Roots from their 2011 album undun features a quote attributed to Chanakya: "A man is born alone and dies alone; he experiences the good and the bad and the consequences of his karma alone; and he goes alone to hell or the Supreme Abode"

The story of Chanakya and Chandragupta was taken as film in Telugu language in 1977 entitled Chanakya Chandragupta. Akkineni Nageswara Rao played the role of Chanakya, while N. T. Rama Rao portrayed as Chandragupta.

TV Series Ashoka on the channel 'Colors' shows the role of Chanakya during the rule of Bindusara.

Shivaji also known as Chhatrapati Shivaji was an Indian emperor and founder of Maratha Empire. Shivaji Maharaj was a brave and kind emperor.
He was born around 7 April, 1627 in a fort of Pune (there is a confusion about the exact date).
chhatrapati shivaji maharaj
Shivaji Maharaj



His parents were Shahaji Bhosale and Jijabai. His father was a Mercenary of Bijapur sultan. His Guru Dadoji Kondeo was a friend of Shahaji. His mother and his guru transferred the idea of Hindavi Swarajya (an empire which will be ruled by Hindu king and not by Muslim king) to him.
From childhood he was a brave boy and showed the qualities of a ruler. He had great interest in religious teachings. He studied Ramayana and Mahabharata with great interest.

His first attack was on the Torna fort. He captured the fort only at an age of 16. After capturing Torna fort, he captured Kondana and Rajgad forts. At the rise of Shivaji’s power Bijapur sultan arrested his father. Shivaji captured the forts of Purander and Javeli after rescuing his father from the Bijapur sultan’s prison.

Mughal samrat Aurangzeb sent Jai Singh and Dilip Khan to stop Shivaji. Shivaji was forced to sign the treaty of Purander. According to this treaty, he gave about 24 forts to mughal king. He was invited to Agra by Aurangjeb. Shivaji was arrested and imprisoned in Agra. But he escaped from Agra and returned to his kingdom. Returning from imprison, he recaptured the forts which he lost in the treaty of Purander. During this time he took the title ‘Chhatrapati’.

He was the head person in his administration. But there were other persons and cabinets (Ashtapradhan mandal composed of eight ministers) to help him. Many taxes were collected at that time but he never collected taxes forcefully. People had the freedom to choose any religion. He took care of his people like a father.

He built a strong army. He introduced the guerrilla warfare tactics. He also built a strong Navy. He is called the “Father of Indian Navy”.
Shivaji died in 1680 after suffering fever for 3 weeks.



Quick facts about Shivaji


Name: Shivaji Bhosle
Born: 1627
Family: Father: Shahaji Bhosale Mother: Jijabai
A.K.A Chhatrapati Shivaji, Father of Indian Navy
Famous as: Founder of Maratha empire
Died: 1680

Chhatrapati Shivaji was of lean built and average height but Sambhaji was stoutly built with above average height. I do not know of any precise account apart from the ballads, which tend to romanticize. I infer Chhatrapati Sambhaji's height to be around 6 ft.

“Bhavani Talwar i.e. Sword of Chatrapati Shivaji Raje Bhonsale of Maratha Kingdom, India.

One of the swords of Shivaji Maharaj is now in London, in Royal Collection Trust of Royal family of Britain.

This sword was presented by Shivaji IV of Kolhapur to Prince of Wales in 1875 AD.”

Mankind always has, and always will, fight wars. And in order to fight said wars, man needed weapons. Using whatever skills and resources they had, man built tools that would slash, smash, pierce and tear their enemies. Every nation had weapons that made their armies unique. Today when we talk about ancient weapons we immediately think swords, spears, bows and axes. But I find interest in weapons that strike me as out of the norm. This list is an assortment of weapons that have designs, backgrounds or usages that I find rather out of the ordinary. If you feel like anything is excluded or missing from the list, remember there exists a comment section for you to do with as you will!

10-Mere Club

Used by the Māori tribes of New Zealand, this simple-looking, yet solid, club was built from nephrite jade. Strangely enough, the Māori used the 12-20 inch club for jabbing and thrusting instead of swinging downward blows in the way that most other clubs are used. To the Māori, the mere was a very spiritual weapon. They named their mere clubs and passed them down through generations. They even believed that the clubs contained a mana (spiritual force) of their own. The Māori revered their mere clubs greatly. They were a symbol of leadership, and if any mere that was considered important by a tribe was misplaced, great efforts were taken by the tribe to make sure the mere was located and returned to its respective owner.

9-Hook Sword 


Perhaps the most well-known on this list, the Chinese hook swords were wielded by the normally passive Shoalin monks of northern China. Beautifully and artistically designed, the blades were curved into a hook shape at the end which allowed the user to connect the blades by the tip and wield them as a single, long-ranged weapon. The crescent shaped guards were excellent at blocking blows as well as slashing enemies who got too close. The ends of the hilts were sharpened into daggers for stabbing at close range. These swords measured from 4-6 feet from the top of the hook to the end of the sharpened hilt. The blades saw most of their usage from civilians, as the Chinese military did not use them in any of their armies.


8-Kpinga


The kpinga was a throwing knife that was used by experienced warriors of the Azande tribe. The Zande people were residents of Nubia, a region in Africa composed of northern Sudan and southern Egypt. The knife (also known by its nickname, the Hunga Munga) was up to 22 inches long and had three blades that extended from the center. The blade closest to the handle is in the shape of a man’s genitals, and represented the masculine power of its owner. The alignment of the blades on the kpinga drastically increased the chances of impaling a target on contact. When the owner of the weapon was married, he presented the kpinga as a gift to the family of his wife.

7-Macuahuitl


The macuahuitl was basically a large, sword-shaped piece of wood, with razor-sharp pieces of obsidian embedded in the sides. Since the macuahuitl lacked a sharp point, it couldn’t be used as a stabbing weapon; however the jagged rows of obsidian gave the weapon a vicious tearing power that could cut deep lacerations in the enemy. The wood itself is heavy and strong enough to clobber opponents, thus enabling the Aztec to capture the foe alive to be used in their famous ritual sacrifices. There have been accounts of maquahuitls being able to decapitate horses, which is impressive, for a horse’s head is a good deal thicker than that of an adult human being.

6-Scissor



This rather odd-looking weapon was used in the arenas by the gladiators of the ancient Roman Empire. Interestingly enough, the gladiators who wielded the scissor in combat were also known as scissors. The metal casing at the bottom formed a long tube that covered the gladiator’s arm, allowing the weapon to easily block and parry, as well as counterattack. Made from hardened steel, the scissor measured up to one and a half feet long. It is surprisingly light, weighing in at an easy 5-7 pounds; this allowed the scissor to be wielded with a good amount of speed. The scissor’s unique shape and design made it a crowd favorite.

5-Chakram



Don’t be fooled, the chakram is not something you would want to play frisbee with. Unlike the frisbee, the chakram was often thrown vertically rather than horizontally. The deadly circle of metal was up to a foot in diameter. It’s extremely sharp edge ensured that the chakram could slice off arms and legs with ease. This weapon originated from India, where it was used extensively by the high ranking Indian Sikhs. Much like a distant relative, the shrunken, the chakram could be stacked one on the other and thrown repeatedly. One interesting throwing method used by professional warriors was to spin the chakram on their index finger, and then, with a sharp flick of the wrist, launch the whirring blade at their opponent.

4-Cho Ko Nu



Another Chinese weapon, the chu ko nu was basically an ancestor to the automatic rifle – it sacrificed range and power for a quick reload time. The wooden case on the top of the crossbow held 10 crossbow bolts which fell into place when the rectangular lever on the back was pulled back after firing a bolt. One interesting fact is that the chu ko nu last saw its use in the Sino-Japanese wars of 1894-1895, years after the rise of firearms. The crossbow could fire on average a total of 10 bolts within 15 seconds. Which, when compared to the reload speed of normal bows and crossbows, is a great improvement. For added effectiveness, some of the bolts were tipped with poison from the deadly aconite flower, also known as wolfsbane.

3-Nest Of Bees



Now I have to hand it to the Chinese, their weapons have made four entries on my list. Third place is taken by the nest of bees, or flying fire. Basically it was a wooden container filled with tubes in the shape of a hexagon, which, when viewed from the front, gave the weapon the appearance of a large honeycomb. Inside each of the tubes was a rocket propelled arrow. The rockets launched the arrows with more power and range than that of a traditional bow. Up to 32 arrows could be launched from a nest at once. The Chinese would fire thousands of bees’ nests at once, killing plenty of enemies within seconds.

2-Katar



This Indian weapon gave its owner the claws of wolverine, minus the strength and cutting power of adamantium. The katar at first glance has a single blade, however when a trigger on the h-shaped handle was activated, the blade would split into three, one on the middle and one on each side. The three blades not only made the weapon more effective at stabbing and slashing, but they also intimidated and/or startled the opponent. The blade’s positioning on the handle also allowed it to easily block attacks. Its unusual design has yet another purpose – the triple blades could easily stab through all kinds of Asian armor with ease.

1-Zhua




One look at this incredibly odd-looking device was more than enough to convince me that it deserved the number one place on this list. Yet another Chinese weapon, the zhua’s conspicuous iron “hand” at the end had sharp claw-like nails that would impale flesh, and then tear it off from the body. The sheer weight of the zhua was enough to kill the opponent, but the claws made it even deadlier. When wielded by a professional, it could be used to pull mounted soldiers off their horse. But the main use of the zhua was to pull off the shields of enemies, leaving them exposed to the clawed hand of iron.

100 Rupee Note Having Image Of HiraKund Dam Backside Extremely Rare Note

Original Story Why Government Makes This Note

Hirakud Dam (Oriya: ହୀରାକୁଦ ବନ୍ଧ) is built across the Mahanadi River, about 15 km from Sambalpur in the
state of Odisha in India. Behind the dam extends a lake, Hirakud Reservoir, 55 km long. It is one of
the first major multipurpose river valley projects started after India's independence.
Before the devastating floods of 1937, Sir M. Visveswararya proposed a detailed investigation for
storage reservoirs in the Mahanadi basin to tackle the problem of floods in the Mahanadi delta. In
1945, under the chairmanship of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, the Member of Labour, it was decided to invest in
the potential benefits of controlling the Mahanadi for multi-purpose use. The Central Waterways,
Irrigation and Navigation Commission took up the work.


Original Photo Of Dam




Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru visited Hirakud Dam on 13th January 1957 On 15 Mar 1946, Sir Hawthrone Lewis,
 the Governor of Odisha, laid the foundation stone of the Hirakud Dam. A project report was submitted
 to the government in June 1947. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru laid the first batch of concrete on 12 April
1948. The dam was completed in 1953 and was formally inaugurated by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru on
13 January 1957. The total cost of the project was Rs.1000.2 millions in 1957. Power generation along
with agricultural irrigation started in 1956, achieving full potential in 1966.
