The Khudai Khidmatgar was a non-violent movement against British occupation of the Indian subcontinent.
It was led by Abdul Ghaffar Khan, a Pashtun freedom fighter, in the North-West Frontier Province.
Over time, the movement acquired a more political colour, leading to the British taking notice of its growing prominence in the region.
Following the arrest of Khan and other leaders in 1929, the movement formally joined the Indian National Congress after they failed to receive support from the All-India Muslim League.
Members of the Khudai Khidmatgar were organised and the men stood out because of the bright red shirts they wore as uniforms, while the women wore black garments. #gkfactsbymilitarychoice @militarychoiceblog

The Indian Penal Code (IPC) is the official criminal code of the Republic of India. It replaced Mohammedan Criminal Law, which had a very close relationship with Islam. Thus, the IPC laid the foundation of secularism.
It came into force in 1862 in all British Presidencies, although it did not apply to the Princely states. It was the first codification of criminal law in the British Empire.
The first draft of the Indian Penal Code was prepared by the First Law Commission (established in 1834 under the Charter Act of 1833 under the chairmanship of Macaulay), chaired by Thomas Babington Macaulay.
The complete drafting of the code was done in 1850 and presented to the Legislative Council in 1856.
The code came into force on January 1st, 1860 after undergoing many revisions and amendments by Barnes Peacock who would go on to serve as the first Chief Justice of the Calcutta High Court.
The Indian Penal Code of 1860 is subdivided into 23 chapters that comprise of 511 sections.

Coalbed Methane (CBM) is an unconventional form of natural gas found in coal deposits or coal seams.
CMB is formed during the process of coalification, the transformation of plant material into coal.
India has the fifth-largest coal reserves in the world, and CBM has been looked at as a clean alternative fuel with significant prospects.
India’s CBM resources are estimated at around 92 trillion cubic feet (TCF), or 2,600 billion cubic metres (BCM).
The country’s coal and CBM reserves are found in 12 states of India, with the Gondwana sediments of eastern India holding the bulk.

Bubonic Plague is an infectious disease caused by a bacteria Yersinia pestis, present in mammals and fleas. Plague, which was also known as ‘black death’ in the 14th century, caused over 50 million deaths in Europe.
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), plague can be transmitted between animals and also spread from animals to humans. However, human to human infection is rare, in this case.
There are two kinds of plague infections - bubonic and pneumonic.
Bubonic plague is caused when the bacteria enters the lymphatic system (part of the immune system) in the body and there it replicates itself. As a result, the infected node gets swollen and painful - called a ‘bubo.’
The infection can further spread to the lungs, which is called the pneumonic plague.
The infection causes a sudden fever, bodyache, vomiting and a feeling of nausea.
As per the data by WHO, as many as 3,248 cases of plague have been reported globally - including 584 deaths - between 2010 to 2015.
In Madagascar, bubonic plague cases are reported every year during September to April - which is usually known to be the epidemic season. @militarychoiceblog
