Nationalism in India __Important Dates and Events

 The feeling of nationalism spread in Europe and deeply affected European history as much as it did affect our History textbooks and report cards, but the influence it had on this country, almost 6,467 km away, will surely make you gape in awe. And 'this' country which we are talking about is Our beloved 'India'. In this History Blog, we will be going through all the important dates and events mentioned in the chapter "Nationalism In India", helping us to brush up through all the vital concepts!  (If you haven't read the Nationalism in Europe blogs  Click here   or  here! )  So, Let's start  1) 1913 - 1918 - Prices doubling leading to hardships for common people 2) 1918 - 19 and 1920-21 - Crop failure - famine 3) January 1915 - Gandhi returned to India 4) 1916 - Champaran in Bihar - Peasants against plantation  5) 1917 - Kheda, Gujarat - Peasants protested against Revenue 6) 1918 - Ahmedabad - Cotton Mill workers protest 7) 1919 - Rowlatt Act 8)

The Periodic Table of Elements__Mnemonic

 The Periodic Table of Elements. The heart and soul of chemistry, without which any study in  Chemistry will become enormously tedious... It's just irony that learning this same periodic table is considered as a herculean and tedious task by many students. "Why do we need to learn a whole new language?" is the cribbing and moaning of most high schoolers!  Well say no more!! Just remember " Hi, Hello Listen  BBC News on Friday Night!"  Hmm... Now, I know you are wondering how listening to BBC news is going to solve your problem. Don't worry I am not asking you to sacrifice your Friday nights, because in actuality that sentence is a mneumonic!  (To all the ones who are wondering what a MNEUMONIC is - It is a small phrase or sentence, whose first letters help in associating and remembering a concept)   In this Mneumonic, we will be considering the symbols of the elements :- Name of the element - Symbol - Mnemonic Hydrogen - H - Hi Helium - He - Hello Lithium

Subject-Verb Agreement

"The quality of mangoes were not good" "His knowledge on Indian vernaculars are far beyond the common" "The president, as well as the councillors, are in a meeting" Do you feel the above sentences are correct?  These statements might sound correct but in actuality are grammatically erroneous.   Every time you answer your grandmom's question, over the phone, by saying "Everyone are fine here, How are you?" Wren and Martin turn  in their graves... You might wonder,  Why are they wrong? This is because the Subject does not agree with the verb in these statements...  In today's blog, we will be learning more about this Subject's and Verb's agreement with each other and how this international treaty, if broken,  wreaks havoc in every student's English exam and our everyday conversations  Subject-Verb agreement / Subject-verb concord basically states that the Verb must agree with its Subject in Number and Person.  If the subject
