In order to these there salary should also be increased in such a way that cops dont get bribe on the road which spoils the image of police.!!!

A lot of discussion is going on in the nether world about the browser war!! IE 7 has been available for download for a few days now. And Firefox 2.0 has just been released into the wild!!
Actually, I read about a mistake by the Mozilla foundation by mistakenly making the new download page public a couple of days back!!
Anyways, go ahead and enjoy all the goodness that Firefox 2.0 has to offer. All I can say is that they have taken something good and turned it to even better!!
I will write about what I think about the new version shortly! Stay tuned..

The Vellore Mutiny July 10, 1806 was the first instance of a mutiny by Indian sepoys against the British EIC. It predates even the sepoy mutiny of 1857 by half a century. The revolt, which took place in Vellore, was rather brief but brutal, as mutineers broke into the Vellore fort and killed or injured 200 British troops, before they were subdued by reinforcements from nearby Arcot.
The reasons for the mutiny revolved mainly around resentment against changes in sepoy dress code in November 1805. Hindus were prohibited from wearing religious marks on their foreheads and Muslims were required to shave their beard and trim their moustache. This created a strong resentment among the soldiers.
From 1806 Britishers were faceing lot of problems from Indians

First of all, a big welcome to a few of our romeos aka authors Prasanna, Kannan and Ramesh! Look forward to your posts guys..Last weekend, I posted some pictures of our trip to see fall colors on Flickr. It was like Mother Nature heard my whine about the on-coming winter!! Last weekend it was a nice 70F and it was 29F last night and we got some snow on the ground.. in October.. even while the leaves were turning to fall colors here in the lower peninsula!!
But, looks like we got off easy.. Buffalo NY, the city close to Niagara Falls got 2 feet of snow thanks to a freak lake-effect snow storm !! They are out of power, water and left plowing their driveways.. well before Halloween..
Maybe Friday the 13th had something to do with it!

India has gone through many phases in the past and has ruled by example Cheras,Cholas in the south in the same way in the north by Tuglaks, Rashtrakurthas,Bhamanis and Mugals were the last before our English !!!!!!!!!.i hope this will create awarness and we will use our freedom properly!!!!!!!!!
It is quite intresting that we can come to know all others except the English(East India Comapny) others stayed in Indai and treated our country as there mother land and settled here!!!!!!!!!but East India Company earned the profit and exploited the situation by the policy of “Divide and Rule”.what all they earned they took back to England and simply spolied our country.
Before going in detail, causes for the revolt are very important!!!!!!!!!!
Economic Causes!!!
Political causes!!!!!!!!!!!
Administrative Causes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Socio-Religious Causes!!!!!!!!!!
Discontent among sepoys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Storm Centres and leaders of the Revolt!!!!!!!!!!will continue
“Saluteing who have given there lifes for us”

Now, you can call about 50 countries from the US for free with Future Phone. Here is the low-down.. you call a long-distance number in Iowa and just enter the country code and international number.
It sucks that they don’t have India in the list yet.. but if you have friends in any of the other 50 countries this is a sweet deal! If they did, I can see 2 things happening. One, lot of Indians here getting richer by saving money on those millions of phone cards that we buy . Two, Future Phone is bound to go bankrupt!
Anyways, do you guys know Shyam’s number? I think it is time to call Germany! ;-p
