Jawaharlal Nehru (/ˈneɪruː, ˈnɛruː/;Hindustani:[ˈdʒəʋaːɦərˈlaːl ˈneːɦru]; 14 November 1889 – 27 May 1964) was the firstPrime Minister of India and a central figure in Indian politics before and after independence. He emerged as the paramount leader of the Indian independence movement under the tutelage of Mahatma Gandhi and ruled India from its establishment as an independent nation in 1947 until his death in 1964. He is considered to be the architect of the modern Indian nation-state: a sovereign, socialist, secular, and democratic republic. He was also known as Pandit Nehru due to his roots with Kashmiri Pandit community while many Indian children knew him as "Uncle Nehru" (Chacha Nehru).
The son of Motilal Nehru, a prominent lawyer and nationalist statesman and Swaroop Rani, Nehru was a graduate of Trinity College, Cambridge and the Inner Temple, where he trained to be a barrister. Upon his return to India, he enrolled at the Allahabad High Court, and took an interest in national politics, which eventually replaced his legal practice. A committed nationalist since his teenage years, he became a rising figure in Indian politics during the upheavals of the 1910s. He became the prominent leader of the left-wing factions of the Indian National Congress during the 1920s, and eventually of the entire Congress, with the tacit approval of his mentor, Gandhi. As Congress President in 1929, Nehru called for complete independence from the British Raj and instigated the Congress's decisive shift towards the left.
.mr is the Internetcountry codetop-level domain (ccTLD) for Mauritania. A local contact is required to register a domain name under .mr. Registrations are taken directly at the second level, but a .gov.mr second level domain exists in which governmental sites can be found at the third level.
Mister, usually written in its abbreviated form Mr. (US) or Mr (US & UK), is a commonly-used English honorific for men under the rank of knighthood. The title derived from earlier forms of master, as the equivalent female titles Mrs, Miss, and Ms all derived from earlier forms of mistress. Master is sometimes still used as an honorific for boys and young men, but its use is increasingly uncommon.
The modern plural form is Misters, although its usual formal abbreviation Messrs(.) derives from use of the French title messieurs in the 18th century.Messieurs is the plural of monsieur (originally mon sieur, "my lord"), formed by declining both of its constituent parts separately.
Historic etiquette
Historically, mister—like Sir or my lord—was applied only to those above one's own status in the peerage. This understanding is now obsolete, as it was gradually expanded as a mark of respect to those of equal status and then to all gentlemen. It is now used indiscriminately.
In past centuries, Mr was used with a first name to distinguish among family members who might otherwise be confused in conversation: Mr Doe would be the eldest present; younger brothers or cousins were then referred to as Mr Richard Doe and Mr William Doe and so on. Such usage survived longer in family-owned business or when domestic servants were referring to adult male family members with the same surname: "Mr Robert and Mr Richard will be out this evening, but Mr Edward is dining in," but such usage today is rare in American culture but still quite common in others as a sign of respect when first names are being used, the last name is not known, or where English is not the mother tongue.
Mister also known as Mr. is a Hong Kong, Chineserock band composed of lead vocalist Alan Po, rhythm guitarist Ronny Lay, lead guitarist Quincy Tam, bassist and backing vocalist Desmond Tam, and drummer Tom To.
The quintet originated from the underground indie scene where they were known as White Noise. Their breakthrough performance was their gig at Alan Tam's birthday party. They were subsequently recommended to Universal Music by himself who was deeply impressed by their skill and talent.

A little far-fetched, but it was fun to think through what these iconic speeches would have sounded like
Thirty years ago, a defining event of the 20th century took place, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics dissolved, marking the end of the once-mighty communist empire, which spanned Eastern, Southern and Northern Europe and Central and Northern Asia for seventy years. In Diplomatic Dispatch this week, Vikas Swarup discusses factors which led to the collapse of the Soviet Union and its impact on India and the world.
Guests:
Ram Madhav, Leader, BJP
Kanwal Sibal, Foreign Secretary

The recent Linkin Park Album, A Thousand Suns, had an amazing and passionate speech at the beginning of the hit song “Wretches and Kings,” which got me thinking: since a list of the 10 greatest speeches already exists, I thought that was time for the next installation. Here it is then, with the bonus as my personal favorite. Which ones did I miss? Which ones are your favorites? Add your own and discuss the entries.
Jawaharlal Nehru (/ˈneɪruː, ˈnɛruː/;Hindustani:[ˈdʒəʋaːɦərˈlaːl ˈneːɦru]; 14 November 1889 – 27 May 1964) was the firstPrime Minister of India and a central figure in Indian politics before and after independence. He emerged as the paramount leader of the Indian independence movement under the tutelage of Mahatma Gandhi and ruled India from its establishment as an independent nation in 1947 until his death in 1964. He is considered to be the architect of the modern Indian nation-state: a sovereign, socialist, secular, and democratic republic. He was also known as Pandit Nehru due to his roots with Kashmiri Pandit community while many Indian children knew him as "Uncle Nehru" (Chacha Nehru).
The son of Motilal Nehru, a prominent lawyer and nationalist statesman and Swaroop Rani, Nehru was a graduate of Trinity College, Cambridge and the Inner Temple, where he trained to be a barrister. Upon his return to India, he enrolled at the Allahabad High Court, and took an interest in national politics, which eventually replaced his legal practice. A committed nationalist since his teenage years, he became a rising figure in Indian politics during the upheavals of the 1910s. He became the prominent leader of the left-wing factions of the Indian National Congress during the 1920s, and eventually of the entire Congress, with the tacit approval of his mentor, Gandhi. As Congress President in 1929, Nehru called for complete independence from the British Raj and instigated the Congress's decisive shift towards the left.
Crawling swiftly over cracks Over cliffs and even mountains Little obstacles slowing your journey The red of your skin Protecting all inside you Your legs scamper quickly Over all that you can't see And you will never understand The path that you cross Before these nodding heads who hear a Voice from inside It speaks to them softly With questions and answers Continue on, you are not Touched by such pride And thank something for that For that pride shall not hurt you Like it has for so many And ended all life Continue on, you have no Reasons to be worried Which stem from such a past Or caused you such strife Caused you such strife For you it simply lies In prolonged survival And for that you must take all One at a time These heads think so different Distorted and bothered Protecting their inner peace With the hatred they find And these heads treat you As just an insect And your value lies in Nothing of this land For they will never value Your rich perspective That special void of which Humanity's in demand And it is not life That they preserve It is only you Who sees this right And if they could feel Your passion for survival They might put aside This stupid fight Continue on just to Get home before it's dark Slip past these bobbing heads of madness Who hear such a voice Appreciate these aimless feet Which fight you all the time If you had the option to be them To be yourself would be Survival's choice Oh, little ant No one can even understand you Still pay no attention And try not to fall They will never succeed As you have in perspective For the only vision you have Is to crawl across this wall Crawl across this wall To crawl across this wall
