Elephants in battle

A war elephant was a military elephant that had been trained and guided by humans. The main purpose of the war elephant was to assault the enemy, break their ranks, and terrorise and terrify them. Elephantry refers to military formations that use elephants to transport troops. [1] In antiquity, war elephants played a crucial role in a number of significant wars, particularly in Ancient India. While they were only used on a limited and irregular basis in ancient China, they were a permanent staple in the armies of historical Southeast Asian kingdoms. They were also used in ancient Persia and the Mediterranean globe by Macedonian troops, Hellenistic Greek nations, the Roman Republic and later Empire, and Carthage in North Africa during classical antiquity.

PM Modi said now is the time to act before farming issues worsen.

ANAND: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday urged farmers to switch to organic or natural farming, saying that now is the best time to act before agricultural-related concerns worsen.

Modi said cows may play a vital part in organic farming because their manure and urine can be utilised as fertiliser and pesticide, while speaking via video link at a national summit on natural farming in Anand.

He also challenged farmers and state governments to join the revolution by transforming natural farming into a "jan andolan" (people's movement).

"It is undeniable that chemicals and fertilisers were instrumental in the green revolution. However, it is equally critical that they work on their alternatives. Now is the opportunity to make significant changes before farming-related problems worsen. "It is believed in Gujarati that prevention is always preferable to treatment," he said.

"Natural farming will assist the majority of India's small farmers, who own less than two hectares of land. These farmers' condition can vastly improve if they switch to natural farming and spend less money on artificial fertilisers "he stated

The Prime Minister, quoting Mahatma Gandhi, remarked, "We must recall Mahatma Gandhi's words, "jahan shoshan hoga, wahan poshan nahi hoga." As a result, we've come to relieve our 'annadatas' of their decades-long load."

 

"We need to re-learn the fundamentals of agriculture and adapt to our new technological breakthroughs," he stated.

 

He also advised farmers not to burn stubble.

 

"We must also eliminate errors in farming procedures. According to experts, burning the farm results in a loss of land fertility. However, it has been customary to burn crop stubble "Added he.

The three-day summit on natural and zero-budget agriculture began on December 14 and will end on December 16.
