Can the Indian establishment deck up the Iron pillar with the Eagle symbol on 26 February, every year?

That was the day when Gupta empire came into existence, with the coronation of Chandragupta-I in 319 AD!

There are no inscriptions in sanskrit of Hittites, Assyrians, Babylonians, and Mitanni kings, who ruled areas near to Syria.

'Honi-Anhoni' was a serial which used to be telecasted on Doordarshan in 1988-89.

The serial used to come every Thursday between 9-9.30 pm, and the storyline was on supernatural events.

The courts banned the serial because it created fear and anxiety in the minds of viewers.

Was seeing a documentary on Muhammad Ali...

He was hit by 200,000 punches on his head only, in his career between 1960-1980.

That led to Parkinson's disease, while Ali was still under 40.

There was not much delay in providing justice to people in Mauryan times.

It took between 7-8 days to pronounce a judgement.

Condemned criminals may have been promptly executed.

It was Ashoka, who gave three extra days to the condemned criminals for any final appeals.
