ECONOMY India economy, the third largest economy in the world, in terms of purchasing power, is going to touch new heights in coming years. As predicted by Goldman Sachs, the Global Investment Bank, by 2035 India would be the third largest economy of the world just after US and China. It will grow to 60% of size of the US economy. This booming economy of today has to pass through many phases before it can achieve the current milestone of 9% GDP. The history of Indian economy can be broadly divided into three phases: Pre- Colonial, Colonial and Post Colonial.

Pre Colonial: The economic history of India since Indus Valley Civilization to 1700 AD can be categorized under this phase. During Indus Valley Civilization Indian economy was very well developed. It had very good trade relations with other parts of world, which is evident from the coins of various civilizations found at the site of Indus valley.

ECONOMY

The languages of India belong to several language families, the major ones being the

Indo-Aryan languages (spoken by 72% of Indians) and the Dravidian languages (spoken by 25% of Indians).

[1] Other languages spoken in India belong to the Austro-Asiatic, Tibeto-Burman, and a few minor language

families and isolates.[2]

The principal official language of the Republic of India is Standard Hindi, while English is the secondary

official language.[3] The constitution of India states that "The official language of the Union shall be Hindi in

Devanagari script."[4] Neither the Constitution of India nor Indian law specifies a national language, a

position supported by a High Court ruling.[5] However, languages listed in the Eighth Schedule of the

Indian constitution are sometimes referred to, without legal standing, as the national languages of India.[6]

[7]

Individual mother tongues in India number several hundred;[8] the 1961 census recognized 1,652[9] (SIL

Ethnologue lists 415). According to Census of India of 2001, 30 languages are spoken by more than a

million native speakers, 122 by more than 10,000. Three millennia of language contact has led to

significant mutual influence among the four language families in India and South Asia. Two

contact languages have played an important role in the history of India: Persian and English

ARCHITECTURE

Māru-Gurjara Temple Architecture originated somewhere in sixth century in and around areas of Rajasthan. Māru-Gurjara Architecture show the deep understanding of structures and refined skills of Rajasthani craftmen of bygone era. Māru-Gurjara Architecture has two prominent styles Maha-Maru and Maru-Gurjara. According to M. A. Dhaky, Maha-Maru style developed primarily in Marudesa, Sapadalaksa, Surasena and parts of Uparamala whereas Maru-Gurjara originated in Medapata, Gurjaradesa-Arbuda, Gurjaradesa-Anarta and some areas of Gujarat.[14] Scholars such as George Michell, M.A. Dhaky, Michael W. Meister and U.S. Moorti believe that Māru-Gurjara Temple Architecture is entirely Western Indian architecture and is quite different from the North Indian Temple architecture.[15] There is a connecting link between Māru-Gurjara Architecture and Hoysala Temple Architecture. In both of these styles architecture is treated sculpturally.[16]

POET

Sarojini Chattopadhyay was born at Hyderabad on February 13, 1879 the eldest of a large

family, all of whom were taught English at an early age. At the age of twelve she passed the

Matriculation of the Madras University, and awoke to find herself famous throughout India.

Before she was fifteen the great struggle of her life began. Dr. Govindurajulu Naidu, later to

become her husband was, though of an old and honourable family, not a Brahmin. The

difference of caste roused an equal opposition, not only on the side of her family, but of his;

and in 1895 she was sent to England, against her will, with a special scholarship from the

Nizam. She remained in England, with an interval of travel in Italy, till 1898, studying first at

King's College, London, then, till her health again broke down, at Girton. She returned to

Hyderabad in September 1898, and in the December of that year, to the scandal of all India,

broke through the bonds of caste, and married Dr. Naidu.

NOVELIST

The students of Gurushree Vidya Kendra, Doddabidarakallu reviewed the novel. Abhinava Publications

has published the debut novel of this youngest novelist. Priced at Rs 100, the novel is available at all the

leading book stores in the city.

Though Youngest Novelist She Aims to be Astronomer

Age, it is said, is just a number. It does not come in the way of realizing ambitions, if you have the will.

And Harshita is an example. She is the youngest in India to have penned an English novel.

A student of std VII at City’s Delhi Public School, Harshita is a sworn bibliophile. Bitten by the book

bug, she has a small library of her own and reads at least two novels a week. ‘Ruby Rush’ a scientific

fiction, is the maiden novel of this 12-year-old prodigy.

Set in the United Kingdom, a place Harshita is yet to visit, the 110-page sci-fi deals with a scientist

infusing life to an inanimate object. The object then goes missing and what follows is a heroic mission to

recover it. The subtext of the plot is that science cannot infuse life into an object and even if succeeds in

doing so, the attempt is sure to be misused.

Inspired by her mother Shivani and author like Stephenie Meyer, Harshita took about one year for

Harshita to complete the novel.

However, Harshita does not nurse the ambition to become an author. She wants to pursue higher

education in astronomy. Her writing hasn’t come in the way of her academics. She uses her leisure

hours for her passion. Keen on going through the new releases, Harshita visits all the prominent book

stores in the City at least thrice in a month. And her parents purchase the books of her choice without

any second thought.
