Accomplishing the unthinkable by crossing the vast ocean alone in a plane he designed himself, Charles Lindbergh's flight stands through the century as a peerless act of individual daring. It is the story of a moment, told by the men and women who lived it, which changed our civilization, shrank our world, and explained our notion of the possible.

In a fierce cautionary tale, a down-and-out drifter turned demagogue worked his way from prison to ultimate power by employing a beguiling combination of lying, luck, clever political maneuvering, and murder. We all know what Adolf Hitler did once in power, but few remember or understand the amazing tale of his evil rise.

Part four of a 12-part documentary series produced by the American Broadcasting Company and anchored by Peter Jennings.

It all started in 1938 when a German chemist split the atom and scientists around the world suddenly realized it was possible to build the ultimate weapon - the atomic bomb. Whoever did it first could control the world. The Germans got a head start as refugee Jewish scientists in America struggled to convince Roosevelt to get involved. After Pearl Harbor, the race was on and the outcome would change the world forever. The story of the first atomic bomb is one of suspense, intrigue, setbacks, triumphs, and morality, all set against the backdrop of the war set in motion by one of history's worst tyrants.

Part five of a 12-part documentary series produced by the American Broadcasting Company and anchored by Peter Jennings.

It was the event that dragged America onto the world stage - the defining event of the century. For the soldiers in the trenches it was the bloodiest, most brutal war ever, where the values of honor in battle and decency under fire gave way to lawless terror. This is the story of the first time America fought to "save the world for democracy", and lost its innocence along the way. And now, 80 years later, men still shudder at their memories of the Great War.

Part six of a 12-part documentary series produced by the American Broadcasting Company and anchored by Peter Jennings.

The enduring lessons of the limits of American power unfolded during the very last months of the Vietnam War. If America began the century fighting to save democracy, by 1975 that idea had taken a tragic turn. The drama of those final days, with amazing tales of heroism, rescue and escape, including the story of the last Americans to Vietnam, frame the saga of what many believe to be one of America's most divisive conflicts.

Part eight of a 12-part documentary series produced by the American Broadcasting Company and anchored by Peter Jennings.

Martin Luther King did not want to go to Memphis when first asked in 1968 - the strike by the sanitation workers seemed like a distraction. Old friends insisted and so he went, discovering the cause of the garbage men was as basic as civil rights itself. This is the dramatic and emotional but little- known story of the final days of one of the greatest Americans of the century, and the struggle that led to his death.

Part ten of a 12-part documentary series produced by the American Broadcasting Company and anchored by Peter Jennings.

Not only a story about the terrifying East-West clash which defined the century's second half... this is a fresh look at the enormous cultural force of the film medium. The movies reached the height of their propaganda power just as a new epic struggle began. The resulting battle to control the content of the century's most influential art form is a high- pitched drama which puts both the anxieties of the Cold War and the extraordinary influence of Hollywood into fresh perspective.

Part nine of a 12-part documentary series produced by the American Broadcasting Company and anchored by Peter Jennings.

Federal troops were on alert on the day of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's inauguration in March of 1933, to prevent the violence many anticipated. FDR's calm reassurances saved that day, but most of his efforts over the following years failed miserably. The real story of those desperate years paints a picture of America rarely seen or told - America on the edge of chaos: Bank riots when depositors lost everything, interment camps for workers who defied their bosses, and courthouses ransacked by farmers who had their farms foreclosed. In the midst of this, some believed the man in the wheelchair with the soothing voice was the greatest leader of the century; others believed him to be a dangerous radical undermining basic American values, but everyone could see he was restructuring the basic workings of America.

 Part eleven of a 12-part documentary series produced by the American Broadcasting Company and anchored by Peter Jennings.

The story of the Iran hostage crisis is a sweeping, dramatic saga about an exotic, far-away revolution that quickly became as close as the television set when the American Embassy in Tehran was attacked and Americans were taken hostage. For the first time, Americans could see, live in their living rooms, the effects their actions and policies had on the global village.

LOKAMANYA AND MARXISM

  LOKAMANYA AND MARXISM From the available evidence it seems safe to establish the proposition that the credit of introducing Marx and his doctrine of   class conftlict to India for the first time goes to Bal Gangadhar Tilak.  That Tilak had a genuine interest in socialist thought is evident from the kind of 'selections' he reproduced from foreign journals in the issues of the English weekly, The Mahratta, which he edited from its start in January 1881 , and also from the articles he intermittently wrote championing the cause of agricultural labourers and industrial workers in the Kesari from the time he took over its editorship from G.G. Agarkar in 1886 to his last days in 1920.  An article on nihilism' was reproduced by Tilak in The Mahratta of 17 April 1881 .This article, reproduced from the English journal Leisure Hour, noted that nihilism 'manifests itself as radicalism in politics, as communism in its social aspect, as theism in its religious tendencies'. ...

  INDUS,IRAQ and TAMILS ... RSR ...... ..... This is a long and disjointed post. The following points are stressed. 1. INDUS VALLEY CIVILIZATION  is dated from 3000 BC. thanks to the Archeologist John  Marshal . 2 Aryans were  cattle  growing tribes from  the shores of CASPIAN Sea Turkmenistan, uzbekistan region.
