The National Emblem of India has been adopted from the capital of King _______ which was situated in _______.
”The British element is gone, but they have left the mischief behind”
It is no use saying that we ask for separate electorates, because it is good for us. We have heard it long enough. We have heard it for years, and as a result of this agitation we are now a separate nation ... Can you show me one free country where there are separate electorates? If so, I shall be prepared to accept it. But in this unfortunate country if this separate electorate is going to be persisted in, even after the division of the country, woe betide the country; it is not worth living in. Therefore, I say, it is not for my good alone, it is for your own good that I say it, forget the past. One day, we may be united ... The British element is gone, but they have left the mischief behind. We do not want to perpetuate that mischief. (Hear, hear). When the British introduced this element they had not expected that they will have to go so soon. They wanted it for their easy administration. That is all right. But they have left the legacy behind. Are we to get out of it or not?

What I object to, is the craze for machinery as such. The craze is for what they call labour-saving machinery. Men go on ”saving labour”, till thousands are without work and thrown on the open streets to die of starvation. I want to save time and labour, not for a fraction of mankind, but for all; I want the concentration of wealth, not in the hands of few, but in the hands of all. YOUNG INDIA, 13 NOVEMBER 1924 Khaddar does not seek to destroy all machinery but it does regulate its use and check its weedy growth. It uses machinery for the service of the poorest in their own cottages. The wheel is itself an exquisite piece of machinery. YOUNG INDIA, 17 MARCH 1927
Spelling rules provide guidelines for correctly forming and representing words in written language. In just 200 words, let's explore some common spelling rules.
"i" before "e," except after "c" rule: In most cases, when the sounds /ee/ or /ay/ are represented by the letters "ie" or "ei," "i" comes before "e." However, after the letter "c," "e" comes before "i." For example, "believe" and "receive."
Silent "e" rule: When a word ends with a silent "e," it often affects the pronunciation of the preceding vowel, making it long. For example, "cake" and "ride."
Doubling consonants: When adding suffixes to words that end in a single consonant preceded by a single vowel, the final consonant is doubled. For example, "stop" becomes "stopped" when adding the suffix "-ed."
"Y" as a vowel rule: The letter "y" is considered a vowel when it is the only vowel sound in a word or syllable. For example, "cry" and "try."
Pluralization rule: Most nouns form their plural by adding "s" at the end. However, some nouns ending in "s," "x," "z," "ch," or "sh" add "es" to form the plural. For example, "boxes" and "wishes."
"C" and "k" usage rule: Generally, "c" is used before "e," "i," or "y" to represent the /s/ sound, while "k" is used before "a," "o," "u," or consonants. For example, "cat" and "kite."
These are just a few examples of spelling rules, and there are exceptions to many of them. Becoming familiar with spelling rules helps develop good spelling habits, improves written communication, and enhances overall language proficiency.
