Vedic people were not primitive. They were more civilized than any other race of that period. The rules and regulations stipulated for the king and the duties and prerogatives assigned to the king show that they are highly organised and very much advanced in civilization. It is amazing to see all the important Departments or Ministries were in place during the Vedic time. Ministries: Grhapati, Vanaspati, Pasupati, Dharmapati, Brhaspati Ministers : Savita, Agni, Soma, Brahaspati, Indra, Rudra, Mitra, Varuna Coronation and Consecration The rites and rituals connected with the Coronation and Consecration ceremony are described in the Satapata Brahmana (5-3, 5-4). On the first day of the five day ceremony, offerings are made to eight deities- Savita, Agni, Soma, Brahaspati, Indra, Rudra, Mitra, Varuna These eight Gods are called ‘Devasus’ or Divine Quickeners’ and each has an epithet of his own. While offering the oblations, each is invoked along with his epithet which bespeaks one or other aspect of royal prerogatives, duties and functions. Thus Savita is invoked as Satyaprasava for true impulse or righteous energy of the king. ( I will compare it to the modern Ministry of External Affairs and Prime Minister’s Office) Agni as Grhapati for mastery of the household( Ministry of Human Resources) Soma as Vanaspati for the protection of forests and agriculture (Ministry of Agriculture and Forests) Brhaspati Vak for power of speech ( Ministry of Information and Broadcasting) Indra as Jyeshta for supremacy or predominance in matters of administration (Ministry of Home Affairs) Rudra as Pasupati for protection of cattle,(Ministry of Animal Husbandry) Mitra as Satya for truth,(Ministry of Moral Education) And lastly offering to Varuna and moral governor as Dharmapati for upholding Dharma or Law. The last epithet viz, that of Varuna makes the king upholder of law or one who enforces law and order. (Ministry of Law and Order) Thus each epithet is applied with an eye to each prerogative or duty of the king-designate. Eight Ministers for Tamil Kings Tamil kings who ruled in the southern part of India two thousand years ago also had Eight Advisers. The council was called ‘EnPerayam.’ It consisted of Chief of Accounts Chief of Executive officials Chief of Treasury officials Chief of Palace guards Leading citizens representatives Chief of Infantry Chief of Elephantry Chief of the Cavalry Shivaji’s Eight Ministers Ashta Pradhan of Veera Shivaji Shivaji who was coronated in 1674 had Eight Ministers to run the country. The council was called Ashta Pradhan.

Vijayanagara kings had a group of Eight Poets/scholars knows as Ashta Diggajas ( Eight Elephants in 8 cardinal points). They were very popular because of their poetical works. The eight poets were Allasani Peddana, Nandi Thimmana, Madayagari Mallana, Pingali Surana,Tenali Ramakrishna, Dhurjati Ayyalaraju, Ramaraja Bhushandu, Rama Bhadrudu. Of the eight poets, Tenali Ramakrishna was the most famous person. He was a great poet and a jester. His anecdotes are known to every child of South India. Vijayanagara Emperor Krishna Devaraya who ruled between 1509 and 1529 AD had these eight poets. He himself was a great poet. Looking at these councils, one may conclude that the ancient practice of having EIGHT COUNCILLORS was followed till recent times. Democratic Election:- First King Soma The first king elected democratically on earth was a Vedic king named SOMA. As to the origin of kingship or institution of monarchy the Aitareya Brahmana recounts the following anecdote. Once Gods were defeated by the Asuras (demons) in every direction. At that time there was no king among Gods. Brooding over the cause of their signal defeat at the hands of the Asuras, thus said the Gods—Because we are without a king they have been able to defeat us;we shall ELECT a king.’ All consented unanimously. They ELECTED god Soma as their king and conquered all the directions guided by King Soma. This passage proves the emergence of kingship by ELECTION at the time of emergency or national calamity. Naturally the first king had to be elected whether in heaven or earth. Later hereditary kingship was followed

Turkey is directly involved with ISIL financing.USA +Turkey+Saudi+Oman+Quatar=ISIL.
(REUTERS)
- NOW IT IS CONFIRMED THAT Turkey's President's son Bilal Erdogan, funds ISIL directly and profiting from OIL from Syrian controlled ISIL.Obma and USA knows that and USA'S arms are reching to ISIL, like Toyota trucks , planned all USA made machine, arms to ISIL via TURKEY.It is not possible that USA does not know that .It means USA citizen are supporting ISIL.MEET THE MAN SUPPORTS ISIL BY ARMS, MONEY-TURKEY'S PRESIDENT'S SON.
Russia’s Sergey Lavrov is not one foreign minister known to mince his words. Just earlier today, 24 hours after a Russian plane was brought down by the country whose president three years ago said “a short-term border violation can never be a pretext for an attack”, had this to say: “We have serious doubts this was an unintended incident and believe this is a planned provocation” by Turkey.
But even that was tame compared to what Lavrov said to his Turkish counterparty Mevlut Cavusoglu earlier today during a phone call between the two (Lavrov who was supposed to travel to Turkey has since canceled such plans).
It was in this context when Lavrov added that “Turkey’s actions appear premeditated, planned, and undertaken with a specific objective.”
More importantly, Lavrov pointed to Turkey’s role in the propping up the terror network through the oil trade. Per the Russian statement:
Others reaffirmed Lavrov’s stance, such as retired French General Dominique Trinquand, who said that “Turkey is either not fighting ISIL at all or very little, and does not interfere with different types of smuggling that takes place on its border, be it oil, phosphate, cotton or people,” he said.“The Russian Minister reminded his counterpart about Turkey’s involvement in the ISIS’ illegal trade in oil, which is transported via the area where the Russian plane was shot down, and about the terrorist infrastructure, arms and munitions depots and control centers that are also located there.”
His very brief bio:
In the next few days, we will present a full breakdown of Bilal’s various business ventures, starting with his BMZ Group which is the name implicated most often in the smuggling of illegal Iraqi and Islamic State through to the western supply chain, but for now here is a brief, if very disturbing snapshot, of both father and son Erdogan by F. William Engdahl, one which should make everyone ask whether the son of Turkey’s president (and thus, the father) is the silent mastermind who has been responsible for converting millions of barrels of Syrian Oil into hundreds of millions of dollars of Islamic State revenue.
By F. William Engdahl, posted originally in New Eastern Outlook:
Erdogan’s Dirth Dangerous ISIS Games
More and more details are coming to light revealing that the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, variously known as ISIS, IS or Daesh, is being fed and kept alive by Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Turkish President and by his Turkish intelligence service, including MIT, the Turkish CIA. Turkey, as a result of Erdogan’s pursuit of what some call a Neo-Ottoman Empire fantasies that stretch all the way to China, Syria and Iraq, threatens not only to destroy Turkey but much of the Middle East if he continues on his present path.ISIS militants were trained by US, Israeli and now it emerges, by Turkish special forces at secret bases in Konya Province inside the Turkish border to Syria, over the past three years. Erdo?an’s involvement in ISIS goes much deeper. At a time when Washington, Saudi Arabia and even Qatar appear to have cut off their support for ISIS, they remaining amazingly durable. The reason appears to be the scale of the backing from Erdo?an and his fellow neo-Ottoman Sunni Islam Prime Minister, Ahmet Davuto?lu.
Bilal Erdo?an owns several maritime companies. He has allegedly signed contracts with European operating companies to carry Iraqi stolen oil to different Asian countries. The Turkish government buys Iraqi plundered oil which is being produced from the Iraqi seized oil wells. Bilal Erdogan’s maritime companies own special wharfs in Beirut and Ceyhan ports that are transporting ISIS’ smuggled crude oil in Japan-bound oil tankers.
At the same time, Turkey began bombing Kurdish PKK shelters and storage facilities in northern Iraq, the AP reported, indicating that the AKP still sees Kurdish advances as a major — if not the biggest — threat, despite the Kurds' battlefield successes against ISIS in northern Syria.
Gürsel Tekin vice-president of the Turkish Republican Peoples’ Party, CHP, declared in a recent Turkish media interview, “President Erdogan claims that according to international transportation conventions there is no legal infraction concerning Bilal’s illicit activities and his son is doing an ordinary business with the registered Japanese companies, but in fact Bilal Erdo?an is up to his neck in complicity with terrorism, but as long as his father holds office he will be immune from any judicial prosecution.” Tekin adds that Bilal’s maritime company doing the oil trades for ISIS, BMZ Ltd, is “a family business and president Erdogan’s close relatives hold shares in BMZ and they misused public funds and took illicit loans from Turkish banks.”
In addition to son Bilal’s illegal and lucrative oil trading for ISIS, Sümeyye Erdogan, the daughter of the Turkish President apparently runs a secret hospital camp inside Turkey just over the Syrian border where Turkish army trucks daily being in scores of wounded ISIS Jihadists to be patched up and sent back to wage the bloody Jihad in Syria, according to the testimony of a nurse who was recruited to work there until it was discovered she was a member of the Alawite branch of Islam, the same as Syrian President Bashar al-Assad who Erdogan seems hell-bent on toppling.
Turkish citizen Ramazan Bagol, captured this month by Kurdish People’s Defence Units,YPG, as he attempted to join ISIS from Konya province, told his captors that said he was sent to ISIS by the ‘Ismailia Sect,’ a strict Turkish Islam sect reported to be tied to Recep Erdogan. Baol said the sect recruits members and provides logistic support to the radical Islamist organization. He added that the Sect gives jihad training in neighborhoods of Konya and sends those trained here to join ISIS gangs in Syria.
According to French geopolitical analyst, Thierry Meyssan, Recep Erdogan “organised the pillage of Syria, dismantled all the factories in Aleppo, the economic capital, and stole the machine-tools. Similarly, he organised the theft of archeological treasures and set up an international market in Antioch…with the help of General Benoît Puga, Chief of Staff for the Elysée, he organised a false-flag operation intended to provoke the launching of a war by the Atlantic Alliance – the chemical bombing of la Ghoutta in Damascus, in August 2013. “
Meyssan claims that the Syria strategy of Erdo?an was initially secretly developed in coordination with former French Foreign Minister Alain Juppé and Erdogan’s then Foreign Minister Ahmet Davuto?lu, in 2011, after Juppe won a hesitant Erdogan to the idea of supporting the attack on traditional Turkish ally Syria in return for a promise of French support for Turkish membership in the EU. France later backed out, leaving Erdogan to continue the Syrian bloodbath largely on his own using ISIS.
Gen. John R. Allen, an opponent of Obama’s Iran peace strategy, now US diplomatic envoy coordinating the coalition against the Islamic State, exceeded his authorized role after meeting with Erdogan and “promised to create a “no-fly zone” ninety miles wide, over Syrian territory, along the whole border with Turkey, supposedly intended to help Syrian refugees fleeing from their government, but in reality to apply the “Juppé-Wright plan”. The Turkish Prime Minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, revealed US support for the project on the TV channel A Haber by launching a bombing raid against the PKK.” Meyssan adds.
There are never winners in war and Erdogan’s war against Syria’s Assad demonstrates that in bold. Turkey and the world deserve better. Ahmet Davutoglu’s famous “Zero Problems With Neighbors” foreign policy has been turned into massive problems with all neighbors due to the foolish ambitions of Erdogan and his gang.

Jammu and Kashmir's Hindu past
Harwan is a small village located 3 km beyond the Shalimar Garden in Srinagar District of Jammu and Kashmir. The village was identified by Sir Aurel Stein with Shadara Hadvana (grove of six saints) a locality mentioned in Rishi Kalhana’s Rajatarangini. It is a historic place that was sacked and destroyed by Sikandar Butshikan during the 14th century AD, and many remains of Kashmir’s Hindu as well as Buddhist past have been found during the excavations. The relics of this unique work of art and history, the Harwan Buddhist temple is aeons old, and its origin goes as far as 300 AD. Its ruins are located in Harwan, a village situated in the north-western Kashmir. These ruins are situated towards the northwest of Kashmir and are accessible from the eastern side of Shalimar Mughal Garden. The temple dates back to the Kushan era and civilisation. It was discovered during an excavation as part of an archaeological expedition conducted by the Archaeological Department of India approximately between 1919 and 1929 AD. The architecture of this ancient structure depicts the lifestyle, attire and habitat of Kashmir’s Hindus of that era. There are beautiful image carvings on the tiles within the temple. Image : A female musician wearing trousers; she plays on a drum, which is apparently slung over her left shoulder. Floral motifs on either side. A dancer wearing large ear-rings and dressed in loose robe and trousers, with a long scarf held in both hands, which she waves over her head. One can notice the similarity of classical Indian dance depicted in the dancer’s body posture.

देश फिर बनेगा सोने की चिडि़या
खबरों के मुताबिक जियोलॉजिकल सर्वे तमाड़ के दूसरे इलाकों में भी सोने की तलाश का काम तेज कर दिया है। जियोलॉजिकल सर्वे ऑफ इंडिया के वैज्ञानिकों के मुताबिक इस इलाके में 300 मिलियन टन कच्चा सोना है। जानकारों के मुताबिक औसतन एक टन कच्चे सोने में 3.50 ग्राम सोना निकलता है। इस हिसाब से झारखंड के अंदर मिल रहे सोने की कीमत 25 हज़ार करोड़ बताई जा रही है। सूबे में सोना खोज रहे जीएसआई से झारखंड सरकार के भूतत्व निदेशालय ने 2014 में रिपोर्ट मांगी थी। इस रिपोर्ट में तमाड़ के अंदर सोने का अकूत खज़ाना होने का खुलासा हुआ है।
जीएसआई के मुताबिक मानसून के बाद अगस्त से अक्टूबर के बीच परासी ब्लॉक तैयार करके ड्रिलिंग का काम किया जाएगा। जानकारी के मुताबिक इस काम में करीब एक साल का वक़्त लगेगा। इसके बाद इलाके की नीलामी की घोषणा की जाएगी। परासी में जिस अकूत सोने का पता चला है वो तमाम राष्ट्रीय मानकों पर खरा उतर रहा है, लिहाज़ इसकी अहमियत और बढ़ जाती है। शुरुआती रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक तमाड़ के सिंदुरी, लुंगटु, हेपसेल और परासी में ज़मीन के नीचे सोने का अकूत भंडार होने का दावा किया गया है। हालांकि अंतिम रिपोर्ट सरकार को अब तक नहीं मिली है। इस रिपोर्ट के मिलते ही वहां खुदाई का काम शुरू कर दिया जाएगा जिसमें लुंगटू-हेपसेल-परासी ब्लॉक बनाया जाएगा।
जियोलॉजिकल सर्वे ऑफ इंडिया के उप-महानिदेशक के मुताबिक, इस इलाके में पिछले 15 सालों से काम कर रहा है और परसा गांव के पास मिले सोने की रिपोर्ट भी वो सरकार को भेज चुके हैं। ऐसा नहीं है कि यहां पहली बार धरती फाड़कर सोना निकल रहा हो। इस इलाके में पहली बार 2006 में ड्रिलिंग की गई थी, तब भी तमाड़ में ज़मीन के नीचे सोने का खज़ाना होने की बात कही गई थी। पहले राउंड में यहां 12 जगहों पर ड्रिलिंग की गई थी।
