Difference Between India and China


india-politicsIndia vs China
India or the Republic of India is a country in the southern Asia. The longest borders shared by it are with Pakistan in the west and China in the north and north east. It also shares borders with Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Myanmar. China or People’s Republic of China is a country in eastern part of Asia. It shares its borders with India in the South West, Mongolia and Russia in the north, North Korea in the North East, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Pakistan in the west. The other neighbors are Nepal, Tibet, Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam.
India has a population of more than 1.1 billion and an area of 1,269,219 Square Miles with the density being 344 per Sq Mi. China on the other hand has a population of more than 1.3 billion with 3,705,407 Sq Miles with a density of 138 per Sq Mi.
India which is a multi-cultural society has more than 2000 ethnic groups and almost every major religion of the world has its followers in India with the major religions being Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists and Janis. Chinese Government officially recognizes 56 ethnic groups. The major religions in China are Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. Christians & Muslims also form the religious minority.
The Indus Valley civilization which included India, Pakistan, etc dates back to the Bronze Age. Following this time various Hindu kingdoms and dynasties that were spread across the Sub-continent. This was followed by the Mughal Period where the Muslim invaders raided the region and eventually settled in the area and later the British ruled India for almost 200 years. India finally gained independence in 1947 but was divided in 2 and eventually 3 countries of India, Pakistan & Bangladesh.
The Chinese civilization on the other hand dates back to the Neolithic era. Following the prehistoric times the region was ruled by various dynasties and towards the 18th and the 19th centuries a systematic method of rule was developed wherein the vast empire could be effectively controlled through a bureaucratic system by the emperor. The 2000 years dynastic rule in China came to end in the early 20th century when a parliament was constituted.
Modern India is a democratic style of government with the entire parliament being elected by the people for a 5 year term. Elections are held at both national and state levels. China on the other hand has a communist government with the power resting with the National People’s Congress. The representatives for the National People’s Congress are elected through Indirect Elections.
India which is still fast developing is largely using its resources dealing with the issues of power, infrastructure, health care, poverty, etc. China on the other hand initiated major market driven reforms in 1978 and was able to quickly implement these being a communist state. It is now a highly industrialized country. These reforms saw an unprecedented growth of almost 70 times in economy.
Both the Indian and Chinese cuisines are world famous and enjoyed in almost every country. The Indian Cuisine is mainly characterized by the abundant use of spices. The cooking styles, however, vary with the regions. The other distinct characteristic of Indian Cuisine is the practice of vegetarianism by a large part of the population. The Chinese cuisine on the other hand can be divided into 8 traditions. Only a small fraction of the population is vegetarian.
Summary
1.India or the Republic of India is a country in the southern Asia while China or People’s Republic of China is a country in eastern part of Asia.
2.India has a democratic  form of government while china is a communist state.
3.India is still a developing country struggling with the basic infrastructure and problems while China is a highly industrialized nation.

गरुड़ पुराण कथा और सार – Garud Puran in Hindi

गरुड़ पुराण कथा और सार – Garud Puran in Hindi गरुड़ पुराण कथा – Garud Puran in Hindi गरुड़ पुराण  हिन्दू धर्म के प्रसिद्ध वेद पुराण में से एक है। वैष्णव सम्प्रदाय से सम्बन्धित गरुण पुराण हिन्दू धर्म में मृत्यु के बाद सद्गति प्रदान करने वाला माना जाता है। इसलिये सनातन हिन्दू धर्म में मृत्यु के बाद ‘गरुड पुराण’ के श्रवण का प्रावधान है। इस पुराण के अधिष्ठातृ देव भगवान विष्णु  हैं। अठारह पुराणों में ‘गरुड़ महापुराण’ का अपना एक विशेष महत्व है। क्योंकि इसके देव स्वयं विष्णु माने जाते हैं, इसीलिए यह वैष्णव पुराण है। गरुड़ पुराण के अनुसार हमारे कर्मों का फल हमें हमारे जीवन में तो मिलता ही है, परंतु मरने के बाद भी कार्यों का अच्छा-बुरा फल मिलता है। इसी वजह से इस ज्ञान को प्राप्त करने के लिए घर के किसी सदस्य की मृत्यु के बाद का अवसर निर्धारित किया गया, ताकि उस समय हम जन्म-मृत्यु से जुड़े सभी सत्य जान सके और मृत्यु वश बिछडऩे वाले सदस्य का दुख कम हो सके। भगवान विष्णु की भक्ति |  Devotion to Lord Vishnu वास्तविक तथ्य यह है कि ‘गरुड़ पुराण’ में भगवान विष्णु ...

Pakistan committed one of the biggest blunders by joining U.S. after 9/11, says Imran Khan

Pakistan committed one of the biggest blunders by joining U.S. after 9/11, says Imran Khan Pakistan . Prime Minister Imran Khan admitted on September 24 that Pakistan committed “one of the biggest blunders” by joining the U.S. after the 9/11 attacks, saying the previous governments “should not have pledged what they could not deliver”. Speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) think-tank here, Mr. Khan also said the least he expects the international community to do is to urge India to lift the curfew in Kashmir. Responding to a question, Mr. Khan said he had urged his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi to “reset” bilateral ties and his government waited to resume talks until after the elections in India were over but then it found that “India is pushing us in the blacklist of the Financial Action Task Force to bankrupt us”. He said that by abrogating Article 370, India had cast aside the UN Security Council resolutions, the Simla accord and its ...

Science, Tech, Math › Science Laws of Thermodynamics as Related to Biology Share Flipboard Email Energy and Thermodynamics Mikael Häggström/Public Domain by Regina Bailey Updated July 09, 2019 The laws of thermodynamics are important unifying principles of biology. These principles govern the chemical processes (metabolism) in all biological organisms. The First Law of Thermodynamics, also known ​as the law of conservation of energy, states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It may change from one form to another, but the energy in a closed system remains constant. The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that when energy is transferred, there will be less energy available at the end of the transfer process than at the beginning. Due to entropy, which is the measure of disorder in a closed system, all of the available energy will not be useful to the organism. Entropy increases as energy is transferred. In addition to the laws of thermodynamics, the cell theory, gene theory, evolution, and homeostasis form the basic principles that are the foundation for the study of life. First Law of Thermodynamics in Biological Systems All biological organisms require energy to survive. In a closed system, such as the universe, this energy is not consumed but transformed from one form to another. Cells, for example, perform a number of important processes. These processes require energy. In photosynthesis, the energy is supplied by the sun. Light energy is absorbed by cells in plant leaves and converted to chemical energy. The chemical energy is stored in the form of glucose, which is used to form complex carbohydrates necessary to build plant mass. The energy stored in glucose can also be released through cellular respiration. This process allows plant and animal organisms to access the energy stored in carbohydrates, lipids, and other macromolecules through the production of ATP. This energy is needed to perform cell functions such as DNA replication, mitosis, meiosis, cell movement, endocytosis, exocytosis, and apoptosis. Second Law of Thermodynamics in Biological Systems As with other biological processes, the transfer of energy is not 100 percent efficient. In photosynthesis, for example, not all of the light energy is absorbed by the plant. Some energy is reflected and some is lost as heat. The loss of energy to the surrounding environment results in an increase of disorder or entropy. Unlike plants and other photosynthetic organisms, animals cannot generate energy directly from the sunlight. They must consume plants or other animal organisms for energy. The higher up an organism is on the food chain, the less available energy it receives from its food sources. Much of this energy is lost during metabolic processes performed by the producers and primary consumers that are eaten. Therefore, much less energy is available for organisms at higher trophic levels. (Trophic levels are groups that help ecologists understand the specific role of all living things in the ecosystem.) The lower the available energy, the less number of organisms can be supported. This is why there are more producers than consumers in an ecosystem. Living systems require constant energy input to maintain their highly ordered state. Cells, for example, are highly ordered and have low entropy. In the process of maintaining this order, some energy is lost to the surroundings or transformed. So while cells are ordered, the processes performed to maintain that order result in an increase in entropy in the cell's/organism's surroundings. The transfer of energy causes entropy in the universe to increase.
