1) Who is Fedrick sanger?
He is a British biochemist. He is called the father of
GENOMICS. He has received nobel prize award twice for chemistry. Once for the
structure of protein (Insulin) and the other for the structure and functional sequence
of DNA. He received nobel prize in 1954 and 1980. He was also awarded with
British’s honourable knighthood but he
declined it.
Some of his findings were:
a)
Structure of Insulin –where he proved protein
were linear strings of amino acids.
b)
Method of Sequencing DNA- which helped us to
understand the concept of healthcare and new cancer treatments.
{Note: dear students try to learn more about DNA and protein
and insulin form NCERT science text books }
2) INDIA –PAKISTAN
What
is ceasefire?
Its a sort of boarder line drawn between
the two country.
When and what is the “ten year ceasefire”
which was in Hindu paper recently?
In the year 1972 Shimla Agreement an
informal “ceasefire Line” called as line of control was drawn between the
Pakistan and India counterpart. This LOC
though was not legally designated it seems to be like a border for both the
country.
Two years after the parliament of india was
stacked in the year 2003 Pakistan and India both unilaterally announced the
“ceasefire”. From 2003 India started to build a fencing line of 750 km in the
boarders and around 550 km line was completed by 2004. This fencing was made to
stop firing.
In 2005 a joint statement was accepted by
both the high level officials on “convention of confidence building measures” and
the commitment in the convention was
a)
The two DGMO’S will set a hotline
b)
Hold monthly flag meeting between the local
commanders of the sectors.
c)
New post will not be developed along the LOC
Why it was in news recently?
Since 2005 no problem was raised
on both the side . each maintained the LOC . but in 2008 as the new government
took the position in Pakistan the sinario
got changed. Since from 2011 to 2013 more than 200 ceasefire violation
was filled. In the year 2013 some of the soldiers of India were beheaded by the
Pakistan military forces.
What is LAC?
The LAC (line of actual control)
is a demarcating line between the lands of india and the lands of china. This
is a 4056km line that run at the boarder of jammu and Kashmir, uttarkhand,
himachal and Sikkim. After 1962 to 1993, this line was not made a official
line. This was because the china’s PM insisted Mcmohan line as the line of
demarcation which was refused by the then counter part mr.Nehru during
sino-india war(1963). Later in 1996 sino india agreement it gained legal
recognition. Recently in the month of October mr.Manmohan and china’s PM
likequiang ha signed a agreement on “BOARDER DEFENCE COOPERATION AGGREEMENT” to
improve the LAC . for which a high level representatives has been appointed on
both the sides.
Difference between LOC and LAC
LAC has been formally and legally
enhanced by both the government. LOC is only an oral commitment and was not a
formal agreement
The success of LAC even
dependence on the relationship between india and china. But the relationship
between india and Pakistan is indeed different too.
The military relationship holds
strong for effective implementation of LAC. The proxy war concept maintained by
Pakistan military seems to be a hurdle facts to india.
