Chenab Bridge is an under-construction rail bridge, located between Bakkal and Kauri in the Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), India. The 1,315m-long bridge is being built at a height of 359m. Once completed, it will be the tallest rail bridge in the world. The arch-shaped bridge across Chenab river-bed in Reasi district, which will be five times the height of Qutab Minar at 359 m above river bed, will connect Baramulla and Srinagar to Jammu via Udhampur-Katra-Qazigund covering the entire route in about seven hours.

Bhakti movement, Bhakti movement in Rajasthan

 

Bhakti movement-Bhakti movement in Rajasthan: Bhakti movement in Medieval India is responsible for the many rites and rituals associated with the worship of God by Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs of Indian subcontinent. Bhakti movement originated in ancient Tamil Nadu in 12th Century.  Nayanmars and Alvars played major role in Bhakti movement. It began to spread to the north during the late medieval ages when north India was under Islamic rule. The main period of Bhakti Movement in Rajasthan is early 16th Century to late 18th Century.  The Islamic rulers were pressing public to convert religion from Hindu to Islam. The Bhakti movement was counter to the prevalent caste ideology which was dividing Hinduism. So, the Bhakti movement has its own importance to save Hinduism. The movement was spontaneous and the mystics had their own versions of devotional expression which play a major role in Rajasthan.

 Main Characteristics of Bhakti Movement:One chief characteristic of the Bhakti movement can be mentioned as belief in one God. A devotee could worship God by love and devotion. The second characteristic of the Bhakti movement was that there was no need to worship idols or to perform elaborate rituals for seeking his grace. The third feature on which the Bhakti saints laid stress was the equality of all castes. There was no distinction of high or low as far as the devotion to God was concerned. The fourth feature was the emphasis, which these saints laid on Hindu-Muslim unity. According to these saints all men irrespective of their religion are equal in the eyes of God. The saints preached in the language of the common people like Rajasthani, Khadi and other local language. They did not use Sanskrit, which was the language of the cultured few. These saints laid stress on purity of heart and practice of virtues like truth, honesty, kindness, and charity. Some saints regarded God as formless or Nirguna while others consider him as having different forms or Saguna. Most of Bhakti Movement saint in Rajasthan are of Saguna Bhakta.

(1) मत्स्य संघ (Matsya Union) -18 मार्च, 1948

राजस्थान (Rajasthan) का प्रथम महत्त्वपूर्ण चरण में 27 फरवरी, 1948 को अलवर, भरतपुर, धौलपुर और करौली की रियासतों के विलीनीकरण कर 18 मार्च, 1948 को ’’मत्स्य संघ’’ का निर्माण हुआ। जिसका नाम श्री कन्हैयालाल माणिक्यलाल मुंशी के सुझाव पर’’मत्स्य’’रखा गया। जिसका उद्घाटन तत्कालीन केन्द्रिय खनिज एवं विद्युत मंत्री श्री नरहरि विष्णु गाड़गिल ने किया।

(2) राजस्थान संघ (Rajasthan Union) -25 मार्च, 1948

राजस्थान (Rajasthan) के एकीकरण के दूसरे महत्त्वपूर्ण चरण में 25 मार्च,1948 को कोटा, बूंदी, झालावाड, बांसवाडा, डुंगरपुर, प्रतापगढ, किशनगढ, टोंक, कुशलगढ़ (चीफशिप्स) और शाहपुरा रियासतों को मिलाकर ’’राजस्थान संघ’’ का निर्माण किया गया। जिसका उद्घाटन भी श्री नरहरि विष्णु गाडगिल ने ही किया।

(3) संयुक्त राजस्थान (United State of Rajasthan) -18 अप्रेल, 1948

राजस्थान (Rajasthan) के तीसरे चरण में 18 अप्रेल, 1948 को उदयपुर रियासत का राजस्थान संघ में विलीनीकरण होने पर ’’संयुक्त राजस्थान’’ का निर्माण हुआ। जिसका उद्घाटन इसी दिन उदयपुर में भारत के प्रथम प्रधानमंत्री पं. जवाहरलाल नेहरू ने किया। वस्तुतः वर्तमान राजस्थान का स्वरूप इसी समय बना और यहीं से इसके निर्माण का मार्ग प्रशस्त हुआ।

(4) वृहद् राजस्थान (Greater Rajasthan) - 30 मार्च, 1949

राजस्थान (Rajasthan) के चैथे चरण में 14 जनवरी, 1949 को उदयपुर की एक सार्वजनिक सभा में सरदार पटेल ने जयपुर, बीकानेर, जोधपुर, लावा (चीफशिप्स) और जैसलमेर रियासतों को वृहद राजस्थान में सैद्धांतिक रूप से सम्मिलित होने की घोषणा की। इस निर्णय को मूर्त रूप देने के लिए सरदार पटेल ने 30 मार्च, 1949 को जयपुर में आयोजित एक समारोह में वृहद राजस्थान का उद्घाटन किया।

(5) संयुक्त वृहद् राजस्थान (मत्स्य का विलय) (United State of Greater Rajasthan) - 15 मई, 1949

1 मई, 1949 को भारत सरकार (Govt of India) ने मत्स्य संघ को वृहद राजस्थान में मिलाने के लिए विज्ञप्ति जारी की और 15 मई, 1949 को मत्स्य संघ वृहद् राजस्थान का अंग बन गया। साथ ही नीमराना (चीफशिप्स) को भी इसमें शामिल कर लिया गया।

(7) वर्तमान राजस्थान (अजमेर का विलय) Re-organised Rajasthan - 1 नवम्बर, 1956

 Algoza or Algoja (अलगोज़ा ) is one of popular wooden Music Instrument of Punjab, Rajasthan and nothern India specially adopted by Sindhi, Rajasthani and Balochi folk musicians, also called Jorhi, Do Nally, Satara or Ngoze. Algoza -A double flute made of bamboo, the algoza works on the same principle as a bagpipe and is a tricky instrument to master. One of the two flutes usually plays a continuous drone while the other plays different notes. The player has to master the art of breathing without letting the sound of the algoza break even for a bit

 It resembles a pair of wooden flutes. The musician plays it by using three fingers on each side. Sound is generated by breathing into it rapidly; the quick recapturing of breath on each beat creates a bouncing, swing rhythm. It is generally used as a folk instrument and Punjabi folk singers use it to play traditional music such as Jugni, Jind Mahi, and Mirza. The greatest exponents of Alghoza, however, are the Sindhi musicians (Late) Ustad Khamisu Khan, (Late) Ustad Misri Khan Jamali and Akbar Khamisu Khan (Khamisu Khan's son).
