Amazon Forests: Man of the Hole, last man of the slaughtered tribe, dies

The last man of the slaughtered tribe dies: The only person alive in the tribe massacred in 1995 dies after showing the world the power of resistance and will.

The Last man of this specific tribe dies alone in the huge forest of amazon, with a leaf in his hands. The man not only showed the world what great measures of willpower and resistance he thrived with while being alive alone. He refused to speak to other individuals and kept close to his silent. 

Brazilian agency FUNAI (Fundacao Nacional do Indio) is a foundation that works and monitors to protect the lives of indigenous people and isolated tribes. The Brazilian Indian foundation was the very foundation which was the one who observed the man and monitored him for 26 years after the rampage. Funai found the man in the swing by his hut covered in macaw feathers.

The community of the man was not like what it was, things were different before the massacre that took everybody’s life from the tribe. The man was also named “man of the hole” because he was famous for digging pits in every corner of his land. It is reported that each of his huts had a hole. 

He lived his whole life in 50 square miles, covered in the huge grove and ranches, bound by a specific law that strictly restricted other interventions of others in the area. 

By the reports of Funai, the man is expected to be around the age of 60 as no one knows his real age. 

In the report, it has been cleared that the man died due to some natural cause. Nonetheless, a criminal search is taking place to look out for other findings. His body is respectfully sent to the capital for further forensic analysis, as some DNA tests remain. However, the man will be buried in the land where he lived all his life. 

The man was the only survivor left from the slaughter that was done in the year 1995, where the greedy ranchers killed the people of the tribe in the hope of more land. The man of the hole remained the only member of the tribe who survived the attack. From there on, he lived his life alone, not talking to any other tribe, and nobody knew if it was his fear or resolution.

Ganesha Chaturthi: This IAS officer pens how ‘Trunk God’ inspires to start afresh

0

Mugdha Sinha is an IAS officer who is known for her workaholic ethics who loves taking newer tasks diligently.

Even on a day when people were celebrating Ganesha Chaturthi festival with traditional zeal and fervour, she penned a few lines on her personal blog page on social media which is drawing a huge traction.

In this blog, what catches attention of the reader is her unique perspective of extracting out the teaching from this festival.

She writes, “Today is Ganesh Chaturthi, an auspicious day to welcome Shree Ganesh Maharaj, the Vighankarta, Ek Danta, beloved son of Parvati Mata, the gentlest of gods who opens new paths and ushers in eternal abundance twinning with subh labh, and married to Riddhi Siddhi.”

“Ganesha is the best example of how to begin again, start afresh. The slashing of his head by Shiv ji can be metaphorically seen as the death of ego, mindlessness, as much as it can be of new beginnings after circumstantial adversity not of our choosing, in line of his mother’s duty. Ganesha is the best example of an ecocentric god, with head of an elephant, body of human, riding on his mushka. “

Ganesha Chaturthi: This IAS officer pens how 'Trunk God' inspires to start afresh

Showing her immense devotion and dedication to Lord Ganesha, she writes,

“I bow in humble salutations as I welcome you in my home and heart.

While the world will offer prasad, I offer myself.

Show me the way, guide me through, take me along, as I emulate you in dropping the karmic baggage of the past, ready to embrace the new with open arms,” she writes.

Isn’t it inspiring? How many of us must be bringing Ganesha Home but still not knowing how to kill the demon of ego sitting inside our brains and how to convert mindlessness into mindfulness so that we can start the fresh beginnings yet again…

So here is the lesson to be learnt for life…isn’t it?

Interesting facts on the last leader of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev

0

Mikhail Gorbachev is one of the most important persona if we talk about the early 20th century. The man was a phenomenon personality who created a lot of impact in the world back then. 

He was the only final leader that was from the Soviet Union. His hardworking and diligence toward international relations made him win the Nobel prize in 1990 due to his support and understanding. Mikhail Gorbachev played a huge role in international relations as he was one of the most important parts of de-escalating the Cold War. 

However, Mikhail Gorbachev resigned from his post as the final leader, de facto leader of the USSR, on Christmas of 1991, wishing all the good luck and keeping faith in the people.

Despite achieving such heights in the political journey of Mikhail Gorbachev, he belonged to a peasant family of Russian-Ukrainian. Gorbachev’s full name was Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev. He was born in the village of Privolnoye, Stavropol Krai, on 3rd march 193. 

Due to the Stalin purge in the 1930s, his family had to suffer. Mikhail Gorbachev’s family was the victim of Stalin’s purge and socialization. The policy claimed to accept industrialization as quickly as possible and eliminate the class enemy for a better world. Therefore, the great famine in 1931 in Ukraine became the reason for Gorbachev’s uncle and aunt’s death. His family was affected by the aftermath.

Mikhail was one of the most incredible students who devoted his study to ethics and knowledge. He actively participated in the Komsomol soviet youth organization, which led him to become a very strict believer in the soviet Ideal. 

As a student, he never found it difficult to question the Soviet quo and asked questions. He was enrolled in the Moscow law school in 1950, where he befriended the leading idealist of Prague spring of 1968, Zdenek Mlynar. 

11 March 1985 was the day when Gorbachev became the leader of the Soviet Union. Mikhail Gorbachev maintained a very progressive political approach and developed a  great relationship between Russia and the USA.

1990, Mikhail proposed the ideology and became the mechanism of the dissolution of the Soviet Union. By the year 1996, he ran for president of Russia. He didn’t get enough votes but has been one of the most significant political figures in Russian history.

Mehrunnisa with Bollywood fame Rani Mukherjee

She is a resident of Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh who grew up in a large Muslim family in Saharanpur. Mehrunnisa had dreamed of joining the army or becoming a police officer, but her conservative father was opposed to educating her or letting her work outside. Mehrunnisa, who had always aspired to become a police officer, enrolled as an NCC cadet, learned karate and worked on her fitness in hopes of getting a job in the police. She heard about the opening of women bouncers in Delhi and applied for it.

It was difficult for Mehrunnisa to convince her family about her work as she also thought that being a bouncer was not something that girls should do.

Presently, Mehrunnisa works in a famous cafe ‘Social’ in Hauz Khas village of Delhi and also provides security for personal events and celebrities including Bollywood stars. Along with protecting women, she also specializes in settling disputes there.

It is also an honor to be a bouncer for Mehrunnisa. She says she takes pride in what she does and encourages other women to join the field as well. She is now running her own company named ‘Mardani Bouncer’ and ‘Dolphin Security Service Private Limited’ with two partners. In recent times, more than 2,500 girls and boys have been employed through their security service.
