The world needs such type of Leaders


We all are know that president or PM or CM of a counter means some thing eals. A lot of power and gorgeous life style. They spend such amount of money in a day which is enough for two or more family in a month.

Can u think that a  president or PM of a country who are living just like a poor farmer in this 21th centuary.

Yes here is the name of  some of them..........
 
**  Uruguayan president Jose Mujica The ‘poorest president in the world’, who
lives on a ramshackle farm and gives 90% of his earnings to charity. Mr Mujica gives 90 per cent of his monthly salary, the equivalent of £7,500, away to charity leaving him with just £485 a month to live off.

 'I'm called 'the poorest president', he says, 'but I don't feel poor. Poor people are those who only work to try to keep an expensive lifestyle, and always want more and more'

 ** 
Tripura (INDIA) Chief Minister Manik Sarkar can arguably be dubbed ‘the cleanest and poorest’ chief minister in the country with personal property, movable and immovable, valued at less than Rs 2.5 lakh.

According to official sources, the Chief Minister’s monthly salary is Rs 9,200 which, perhaps is the lowest in the country. When contacted, State Party Secretary Bijan Dhar said, “I can only say that he has no leaning for increasing his own personal property. He has dedicated his entire life for the party and people.”


His very very close relatives do not get govt svc and sell fish in local market without formalin (poison).

History fo name “Malala’’



A few days ago a Pakistani girl named  Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman because she campaigned for girls' education. Now she becomes a national heroin   in Pakistan.

But do u know the name Malala is very famous in Afganistan. It has a great history.

While in Britain, no one has heard of her, in Afghanstan Malalai (or Malala) is a legend. Smaller facts in the story vary slightly, but although it is Ayub Khan who became known as the Victor of Maiwand, it is said that it was Malalai who actually saved the day. She was a native of Khig, a tiny village on the edge of the Maiwand battlefield, and the daughter of a shepard. Both her father and fiancée joined with Ayub's army in the attack on the British on July 27th 1880 (which some say was also her wedding day), and like many women, Malalai was there to help tend to the wounded and provide water and spare weapons. Eventually there came a point in the battle where the Afghan army, despite their superior numbers, started to lose morale and the tide seemed to be turning in favour of the British. Seeing this, Malalai took off her veil and shouted out:

"Young love! If you do not fall in the battle of Maiwand,
By God, someone is saving you as a symbol of shame!"
This gave many of the Afghan fighters and ghazis a new resolve and they redoubled their efforts. At that moment one of the leading flag-bearers fell from a British bullet, and Malalai went forward and held up the flag (some versions say she made a flag out of her veil), singing a landai:
"With a drop of my sweetheart's blood,
Shed in defense of the Motherland,
Will I put a beauty spot on my forehead,
Such as would put to shame the rose in the garden,"
But then Malalai was herself struck down and killed. However, her words had spurred on her countrymen and soon the British lines gave way, broke and turned, leading to a disastrous retreat back to Kandahar and the biggest defeat for the Anglo-Indian army in the Second Afghan War. Ayub Khan afterwards gave a special honour to Malalai and she was buried at her village, where her grave can still be found.

From that day the name Malala became very famous.
That Malala sacrifices life for Afghanistan and this Malala going to sacrifices life for Pakistani girls education.

 God bless u Malala.

Do You Know About Forbidden City



The Forbidden City was the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty. It is located in the middle of Beijing, China, and now houses the Palace Museum. For almost 500 years, it served as the home of emperors and their households, as well as the ceremonial and political center of Chinese government.
Built in 1406 to 1420, the complex consists of 980 buildings and covers 720,000 m2 (7,800,000 sq ft). The palace complex exemplifies traditional Chinese palatial architecture, and has influenced cultural and architectural developments in East Asia and elsewhere. The Forbidden City was declared a World Heritage Site in 1987, and is listed by UNESCO as the largest collection of preserved ancient wooden structures in the world.

Since 1925, the Forbidden City has been under the charge of the Palace Museum, whose extensive collection of artwork and artifacts were built upon the imperial collections of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Part of the museum's former collection is now located in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. Both museums descend from the same institution, but were split after the Chinese Civil War.

A Fish can copy Human voice


Normally we know that some birds can copy the human voice. But do u know that there is one kind of fish in sea which can also copy human voice. The name of that kind of fish is Porpoise.
 
Porpoise is an aquatic animal that imitates man in several respects. In appearance it looks like a fish but it does not come in the category of fish. It comes in the category of mammals as it gives birth to young ones and feed them. Dolphin, whale and porpoise come under this category. Porpoise breathe through lungs as gills are absent in its body. On the head of the porpoise there is a hole which is called as a nose. For breathing it brings its head above the surface of water and breathes through the nose. It is mostly found in the Pacific and the Atlantic Oceans. The color of its body is either brown or black. Its tail is in flat position. The length of its body is up to 1.75 metres. There are about 80 to 100 teeth in its mouth. The porpoise is the cleverest animal and is specialist in imitating a man. It can imitate human voice. In the marine studio of Florida, there is porpoise which speaks in human voice.
