I have published books from Arabic alphabet to the highest level of
Comprehensive Arabic grammar and other books based on my experience
and vision and all my books are used in schools, colleges and
universities.All these books are in english as well as Tamil.

I hope you would have seen my book 'ARABI MOZHI ILAKKANAM' in 600

subjectஅந்தநாள் ஞாபகம் நெஞ்சிலே வந்தது

நான் சிறுவனாக இருந்தபோது கால் மேல் கால் போட்டு அமருவது வழக்கம் (இன்றும் அந்தப் பழக்கம் தொடர்கிறது). அப்போது என் தந்தை, "என்னடா, நாமாகாணிக்கு மேலே ஈரரைக்காலைப் போட்டு உட்கார்ந்திருக்கே?" என்பார்.

ஒருநாள் விளக்கம் கேட்டபோது சொன்னார். "நாலு மாகாணி என்பது கால் (4 x 1/16 = 1/4). ஈரரைக்கால் என்பதும் கால் (2 x 1/8 = 1/4)".

Ok Sir,

you are quit right.

but we want to tell our student that they can also take Tamil as IAS exam to pass easily.

competetiors (in Tamil) paper are very small and they can gain the momentom.
first of all we have to arrange IAS awarness meeting atleast in muslim colleges and engineering colleges

give them the details of competetive examination in UPSC, ministerial services both state and central.

we will direct them state higher post like Group I services.

arrange career guidence and future studies

open the parent and student eyes from going to medical and engineering only

there are so many doors to open to study and get easy job other than medical and engineering

we should consentrate in the field of finnace education (CA etc)
coaching centre for dropout student.

முதலாவதாக இஸ்லாமில் புரோகிதமோ, மதகுருமார்களோ இல்லை, அறிஞர்கள் மட்டுமே உண்டு எனும் உண்மையை நீங்கள் புரிந்து கொள்ளவேண்டும். இமாம் என்றால் தொழுகைக்கு தலைமை தாங்குபவர் மட்டுமல்ல சமுதாயத்தலைவர் என்பதும் பொருள். ஆனால் இன்றைய காலகட்டத்தில் இமாம் என்றால் எல்லோரையும் போல் ஐங்கால தொழுகையை பள்ளிவாயிலில் நடதத்தும் பணிக்கு சம்பளம் கொடுக்கப்பட்டு வேலைக்கு அமர்த்தப் பட்டிருக்கிறார். அதற்கு மேல் நீங்கள் எதையும் எதிர் பார்க்கக் கூடாது. ஏனென்றால் பள்ளிவாயில் தலமை எவ்வாறோ அவ்வாரே இமாம். அடுத்து பாமர மக்கள் எவ்வாறோ அவ்வாரே தலைமை. எனவே தலைமையை தேர்வுசெய்யும் உங்களையும் என்னையும் போன்ற பாமரர்கள் இஸ்லாத்தை முறையாக புரிந்து பின்பற்றாதவரை இத்தகைய நிகழ்வுகளையும் இன்னும் சொல்லப்படாத பல நிகழ்வுகளையும் தடுக்கமுடியாது.
முறையான பயிற்சி இன்மையும், பலவீனமான மொழியறிவும், மார்க்கம் பற்றிய அறியாமையும் அறிந்திருந்தாலும் அனுபவமும் பக்குவமும் இல்லாததாலும் இவர்கள் செயல் உங்களுக்கு வியப்பை அளிக்கலாம். இவர்களில் விதிவிலக்காக உள்ளவர்களும் உண்டு.
மார்க்கத்தில் கருத்து வேறுபாடுகளே இல்லாத அடிப்படை விஷயங்கள் உண்டு. பல கருத்துக்களுக்கு இடமளிக்கும் நீக்குப் போக்கான பகுதிகளும் உண்டு.

வீடியோவை முறையற்று பயன்படுத்தினால் விபரீதமும் உண்டு. முறையாகப் பயன்படுத்தாமல் நாம் இழப்புகளை சந்திப்பதும் உண்டு.

சரி அறிஞர்கள் யார் அவர்களை எப்படி அடையாளம் காண்பது?
அல்லாஹ் குர்ஆனில் " அறிஞர்களே அல்லாஹ்வை அதிகம் அஞ்சுபவர்கள்" எனக் குறிப்பிடுகிறான்

நபி (ஸல்) "தான் அறிந்ததற்கேற்ப செயல் படுபவரே அறிஞர்" எனக் கூறுகிறார்கள். மேலும் அறிஞர்கள் எனது வாரிசு என்றார்கள். உண்மையில் மதரஸாவில் படித்து சர்ட்டிபிகேட் வைத்திருப்பவர்கள் அல்ல அறிஞர்கள். மாறாக நபிகளாரின் நல்ல பண்புகளைக் கொண்டவர்களே அவர்கள்.

இப்போது நாம் செய்ய வேண்டிய முதல் வேலை இஸ்லாத்தை புரிந்த்து கொள்ள முறையான முயற்சி அதற்கான தியாகமும் பொருமையும் தேவை.

நாம் ஒரு நல்ல மனிதராக நல்ல முஸ்லிமாக் முதல் படி இஸ்லாத்தை அறிதல் புரிதலிலிருந்து ஆரம்பிக்க வேண்டும்.

Dear Brothers, Assalamu Alaikum. Do you think that there is no caste
discrimination among Christians? Lot of fighting is going on between
Thalith Christian and Nadar christian, between Thevar Christian and
Thalith Christian and so on. What about Thevar Guru Poojai and
Immanuvel Guru Poojai? Who started and what for? As long as Ila Ganesan
do not talk about Muslims, please ignore his comments.

Please do some research among Muslims, specially among the Muslims who
have embraced Islaam recently. Are we ready to help those poor Muslims
in their marriage? How many sisters were married to NON MUSLIMS due to
Dowry problem and others? Please go to those villages and find out the
truth. No need to waste our energy in finding fault with others. We

Wa alaikum salam Mr. Najumudin

Since there is caste system among Christians-like Dalit Christians VS Mudaliar christians-Devar chrisians-Nadar christians, I have not defended the comments of Mr. L. Ganesan on the treatment of Dalits by high caste christians. I have concentrated only on the comments against reservations for muslims.

Even the black slaves like Hazrat Bilal was given preference to conduct the call for prayers by Rasoolullah. Even to-day dalit muslims are performing Azan in many mosques.

Since we also hail from villages we need not do research on the plight of poor muslims. The rich and affordable persons in our communitymust come forward to spare a little every day to help the hapless poor muslims.. We should unite for the poor cause in each and every village through our mogallahs. Good day

subjectMr. Malick

I and my wife join with you, in the company of mourners over the demise of Mr. Malick of Jeddah.

When we visited Mecca for official work in 1999, he had arranged a get-together of his friends in his residence in honour of us. During the get-together he had also discussed to get help for his alma mater, Jamal Mohamed College, Trichy. I learnt from that gathering that he was a man with readily available helping tendency to lend his service to all Tamilnadu Muslims,who visited to Jeddah and Mecca. He was a man of pleasant nature, symbol of hospitality, versatile scholar, a good eduationist and very affable person.

I don't know his family members mail and phone number. If you can convey this message I will be grateful.

Good day

Assalamu alaikkum varah....

Thanks a lot for the information.

It is higly difficult to controls my tears even in my 58. I have lost a very close friend.

Malik was my class mate ( Jamal Mohamed College) , room mate in Chennai When He was working for Ecnomic Forum and when I was doing my M.Sc., in the new college and my close family friend. I have no contacts since a year or two. I have lost his visiting card and contact numbers while shifting my residence.

If anyone has his home number or the contact number of his sons Shafee and/or Shafeek please let me know.

I am more than shocked to hear this sad news. I request one and all to pray to the Almighty Allah to Bless Malik with a better place in Jannathul Firdouse. May Allah forgive all his sins( In my knowledge he has not done any) knowingly and unknowingly done.
Ameen.

ஆரோக்கியமான கருத்துக்களை கொண்டு அனைவரும் ஆரோக்கியம் பெறுவோம்.ஆரோக்கியத்துடன் ஹஜ் செய்வோம் !

இக் கட்டுரையினால் எனக்கு ஏற்படும் சில சந்தேகங்கள்.

வளர்ந்து வரும் நவீன விஞ்ஞான வளர்ச்சிக்கு இஸ்லாம் / குரான் ஈடு கொடுத்து வருவது நாம் அறிந்ததே!.

//6.பெண்களில் சிலர் மாதவிடாயைத் தாமதப்படுத்துவதற்காக சில ஹார் மோன் மருந்துகளை ஒரு மாதகாலம் சாப்பிடுகின்றனர். இது தவிர்க்கப் பட வேண்டும். அதிகபட்சம் 5 நாட்கள் இம்மாத்திரைகளைப் பயன் படுத்தலாம். அதுவும் பெண் மருத்துவரின் ஆலோசனையின்படி தவிர்க்க முடியாத சூழ்நிலைகளில் தவிர இம்மாத்திரைகளைத் தொடர்ந்து சாப்பிடுவது உடல் நலத்திற்குக் கேடு.//

நோயுற்ற காலங்களிலும், சாதாரண நாட்களிலும் மருந்துகள் உட் கொள்வது சரியே. ஆனால் ஹஜ்/உம்ரா போன்ற இறை வணக்கங்களின் போது தாமாக முன் வந்து ஒரு தடுப்பு முறையை மாதவிடாய் - தள்ளி வைப்பதற்காக் மருந்து எடுத்துக் கொள்வது. சரியான முறையா என்பது தெரியவில்லை.இஸ்லாம் இதை ஏற்கிறதா? இறைவனுக்கும் ,நபி அவர்களுக்கும் பெண்களின் இயற்கை உபாதைகள் தெரியும். இயற்கையான இஸ்லாம் மார்க்கம் இதை எவ்வாறு எதிர் கொள்கிறது என்பதுதான் எனது வினா?

//ஜம் ஜம் தண்ணீரை அதிகம் பருகுங்கள். அது நோய் தீர்க்கும் அரு மருந்தாகும்.//

ஹாஜிகள் ஜம் ஜம் தண்ணீரை அதிக அளவு குடிக்கவேண்டும். அதில் மாற்றுக் கருத்து இல்லை.ஆனால் ஜம் ஜம் தண்ணீர் மருத்துவ குணம் கொண்டது என்பதை விளம்பரபடுத்தலாமா? இதை புனித நீர் ( Holy Water) என்று சொல்லலாம். மருத்துவ குணம் கொண்டது என விளம்பரப் படுத்துவதால் முஸ்லீம் அல்லாதவர்களும் அதனை பெற முயற்ச்சிப்பதால் அதற்கு ஏகப்பட்ட டிமான்ட் ஏற்பட்டு போலி தண்ணீர் தயாரித்து பேக் செய்து அனுப்பும் ஏஜண்ட்கள் எல்லாம் உருவாகி விட்டார்கள் என்பதும் நாம் அறிந்ததே.ஆகையால் இவ்வாறு மருத்துவ குணம் கொண்ட தண்ணீர் என்பதை விளம்பரப் படுத்தாமல் இருப்பதே நல்லது என கருதுகிறேன்.

என்றும் அன்புடன்,

Dear brother Asif, Assalam-o-Alaikum!!


It is indeed a pleasure to receive feedback from our readers on the newsletter. Your feedback is highly appreciated as it demonstrates your interest and initiative towards empowerment of our Community.


You have yourself acknowledged the sensitive nature of the topics such as the Arab-Israel conflict. To my limited understanding and analysis, such topics are as much political as religious. BaKhabar, as the newsletter of Bihar Anjuman, carefully wishes to distant itself with political involvements, national or international. The primary objective of Bihar Anjuman is to visualize, plan, and implement actions that would directly or indirectly help empower the general grass-root members of our Community. You may please visit our Website, http://www.biharanjuman.org/ for a more detailed description of our objectives.


As regards your concern on getting authentic and unbiased opinion regarding contentious issues such as the Arab-Israel conflict, a few of my friends from the mass media, including me, are Insha Allah planning to start with a media monitoring cell that would cater to such issues. This, however, will be an independent group; the concept is still in the ideation stage as of now. Will keep you posted on the developments in this regard.


As a personal recommendation, I would also like to introduce you to an online newsletter, Two Circles (http://www.twocircles.net/) that caters to all issues of the Community, including political issues.


Please feel free to revert for any further concerns on this. Once again, the BaKhabar team appreciates your feedback and looks forward to more feedback in future.


Regards, Allah Hafiz,

Walaikum Salaam brother,

I have been trying recently to gain more knowledge on Arab-Israel conflict. I am not sure how much of what is available is authentic. I would be glad to receive more info through a muslim newsmagazine like yours.

I admit that this topic is a sensitive one. As sensitive as the other question for which I would also like unbiased answers: Why did Hitler massacre the jews?

It is likely that such topics are misconstrued as being political in nature which I understand is against your policy.

You will agree with me, if the authors of the articles stick to the facts and refrain from strong language, they can provide information that is currently unavailable to the muslim community. I believe that someone has to spread the true facts to the muslims. I have asked many educated for info and I can say that most did not have sufficient knowledge to discuss on this topic.

I would also be happy if your newsmagazine can have a discussion board wher people can comment or ask questions on articles. I know moderation of such forums is tedious. This is just a thought.

I hope that you find my suggestions useful.

Al Hamdulillah, thanks to all hands and minds on this research.
However, we should also recognize the fact that Dr. Zakir Naik has explained all the facts mentioned on this message already under many different point of view.

Our arguement should be that 'kalki' as referred in Vedhas in fact referring to our Holy Prophet Mohammad (Peach and blessings of Allah Almighty be upon him and all his family members) through all the points mentioned in the book as well as by Dr.Zakir Naik. However, we (Islam) does not say that our prophet is 'avathaaram' as it is understood by many indians as the language or understanding put it so.

Dear brother Dr.M.M.Salahudeen,

Assalamu alaikkum varah...

I am an ex-NRI living in Chennai since 1996. I am in Iman Times daily to get connected to the people of my village and my friends still living in the middle east.

Congratulations for having started a web site/blog spot www.themailindia.in to promote secularism and democracy to achieve peace and justice.

I feel that like minded people can collectively do something useful to the humanity in this beautiful world that the Almighty Allah has gifted us to live in peace and harmony by helping each other.

I strongly believe that the present generation need a very clear exposure to what is right and what is wrong. Teaching good morals will not encourage them as such.We the adults must be the best role modals to our children. After all they are just children. They need a clear mind to understand what really is right and what is wrong in day to day life.

I would very simply start with educating children about obeying traffic Rules.

It may look silly for many, but I very strongly believe that Traffic offence made by parents accompanying children to school or for shopping creates a feeling in the tenders hearts of children that what ever my father is doing must be right and I can also indulge in the same when I grow. I hope you got my point. Self discipline taught by Allah and our beloved prophet Mohamed SAWS have to go deep into the tender hearts so that they will grow as responsible citizens, good Muslims and excellent examples of good human beings.

All we have to do is to educate them about ethics, and ethical living.

Let us be in contact, insha Allah.

New Delhi: The Union Cabinet on August 20 approved setting up the Indian Community Welfare Fund (ICWF) in the Indian Missions in 17 countries to meet contingency expenditure for carrying out various onsite welfare activities for overseas Indian citizens who are in distress.

The proposed Fund (ICWF) is aimed at providing the following services:

(i) Boarding and lodging for distressed overseas Indian workers in Household/domestic sectors and unskilled labourers;

(ii) Extending emergency medical care to the overseas Indians in need;

(iii) Providing air passage to stranded overseas Indians in need;

(iv) Providing initial legal assistance to the overseas Indians in deserving cases,

(v) Expenditure on incidentals and for airlifting the mortal remains to India or local cremation/burial of the deceased overseas Indian in such cases where a sponsor is unable or unwilling to do so as per the contract and the family is unable to meet the cost.

Overseas Indian workers duped by unscrupulous intermediaries in the host countries, runaway house maids, those who become victim of accidents, deserted spouses of overseas Indians or undocumented overseas Indian workers in need of emergency assistance or any other overseas Indian citizens who are in distress would be the main beneficiaries of the Fund. The Fund will also be utilised to meet the expenditure for airlifting the mortal remains of overseas Indian citizens to India on the recommendation of the respective Heads of Missions.

Implement the Rajindar Sachar Committee Report

Implement the Rajindar Sachar Committee Report
The Hindu
August 17, 2009

Seeking a fair deal for Muslims

by Amar Singh


The Rajindar Sachar Committee’s report on the social, economic and educational status of the Muslim community in India struck a blow to the Congress’ democratic and secularist assertions made over the decades. It lays out the actual conditions the Muslim minority faces and how it lags behind in terms of human development indicators.

It reports that only a small percentage of them are in government service and involved in areas of socio-political life.

The community has been reduced to a sort of political working capital in the hands of the big political parties. According to the report, Muslims need assistance at all levels. They face deprivation in terms of habitation facilities, access to bank credit and also political decision-making power.

Since Independence, India has seen many commissions and committees constituted to resolve the problems of the minorities, especially Muslims. The Ram Sahay Commission on Muslim weavers, the Srikrishna Commission and the Gopal Singh Commission were formed during Congress governments, but their reports are gathering dust. Such moves constitute nothing but political stunts with empty promises for the vulnerable minority. It is obvious that the Sachar Committee report will meet the same fate.

But this is the first commission to have studied the roots of the problems the Muslim community is facing and what the government has done for it in the last 50 years. Ghettoisation and insecurity have grown among Muslims after the demolition of the Babri Masjid in 1992. As a result, the percentage of Muslim children attending school and university has significantly gone down.

The follow-up on the report has taken on political hues, with the Congress using it as a tool to woo the minorities and the BJP raising concerns over the figures mentioned in it. But what has the Congress done for the minorities during all these years? It claims to be a champion of secularism but has used the term only as a euphemism to appease Muslims and secure their votes.

The Sachar report should be an eye-opener for big political parties like the Congress and the BJP, which are using the Muslim issue as a device of vote-bank politics.

After Independence and during Congress rule, there was talk of a classified circular which directed that no Muslim be appointed to senior-level positions in the defence forces. The Congress had created such a stir for a long period of time so that Muslims would be forced to leave India. Further, an imprudent game was played by the communal forces during Jawaharlal Nehru’s rule with the clandestine support of the administration and the police. This continued for almost 30 years, creating fear and anxiety among the minorities. The communal clashes that took thousands of human lives and destroyed property worth crores of rupees were the consequences of this game. The Congress appointed commission after commission to investigate the communal riots, but none of the big perpetrators has been convicted.

Instead of punishing the culprits, the police and the administration invariably prosecuted the innocent Muslim victims. The fear and anxiety this caused, and the cavalier approach of the government, resulted in low levels of progress among Muslims in education and commerce. During a span of 50 years, the entire community has been pushed into a vacuum of illiteracy and unemployment.

The fervour of backward class politics of the Congress waned in the wake of the Mandal and Mandir issues. Now it is seeking to widen its base while leading a coalition government. It has moved for other backward classes quota in higher educational institutions and talked of reservation for Muslims.

The Congress’ efforts for the progress of the minorities have been proved hollow, particularly in the Hindi heartland. On the contrary, the smaller parties, including the Samajwadi Party, the Telugu Desam Party and the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, and the Left parties, have brought several benefits to Muslims. The SP has time and again asked for affirmative action on the basis of the Sachar Committee report. They should be encouraged to participate in the process of economic growth. The report is a revolutionary step to uplift the minorities in India, and if the Government of India implements its recommendations, that will boost India’s secular democracy.

It is to be seen how sincerely and resolutely the United Progressive Alliance government will pursue the agenda it has laid out. Should the findings be put in deep freeze, leaving the secular and vibrant democratic future of India in a disastrous state? According to the Director of the Centre for Policy Research, Professor Pratap Bhanu Mehta, the report not only reflects the poor human index of Indian Muslims but indicates the vacuum of Indian governance. It points to the poor development of infrastructure facilities such as electricity and telecommunications services in areas of Muslim habitation. Muslims are not represented enough in the civil services, in banks, in other public sector undertakings, in the judiciary and in the agencies involved with national security tasks. The Central government needs to coordinate with State governments to pool resources and formulate such policies as would help translate their developmental regression into progress.

The Sachar Committee has suggested that a commission examine the livelihood problems faced by Muslims. But apart from instituting a committee of experts, the Congress has made no substantive effort in this direction. Proper representation of the minorities, especially Muslims, in the police and defence forces will prove to be a morale-booster for them in terms of their safety and security issues, but this has not been looked into. As per the committee’s recommendation, the Congress government has promised to open schools, training institutes and banks, provide free education up to the age of 14 and create infrastructure in areas populated by Muslims. But that promise now lies in cyberspace.

The report mentions that representation for the Muslim community to the same order as the percentage of Muslims in the population of the country is found only in one place: in jails. The fact that this is true can be seen now in Congress-ruled States such as Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. Many innocent Muslim youth of Mumbai and Hyderabad are in jail only on the basis of suspicion. There is hardly any effort being made by the respective governments to provide them legal aid.

In the context of the report, the Congress is trying to play the role of a messiah for Muslims. These represent nothing but tokenism. The Action Taken Report on the Sachar Committee report is but a post-dated cheque. As ever, the Congress wants to use Muslims as a vote bank. It is not really bothered of their rights or their welfare.

There are many areas where work needs to be done for the growth and development of the Muslim community, such as the provision of basic infrastructure facilities in education, health, road and drinking water, employment generation, safety, promotion of the Urdu language, modernisation of madrassa education and the separation of politics from community development.

In the present situation, the SP strives to continue the efforts it has undertaken to work for the minorities and the downtrodden. The party stands for the empowerment of the poor, the minorities, and the marginalised sections that were the worst victims of exploitation due to the lopsided policies pursued by successive governments at the Centre. Muslims want to live a respectable life without any political prejudice. They know how to carry themselves in the present conditions and how to uplift themselves and grow. The government has to support them in different spheres of activity.

The SP wants the implementation of the Sachar Committee report in toto. A high-power expert committee representing all political parties should be constituted to look into the implementation of the recommendations.

SOME HEALTH GUIDELINES FOR RAMADHAAN

SOME HEALTH GUIDELINES FOR RAMADHAAN


This article provides useful advice on how to avoid some common problems encountered in Ramadhan. If followed, it would enable one to fast comfortably and enjoy fully the spiritual benefits of Ramadhan. During the holy month of Ramadhan, our diet should not differ very much from our normal diet and should be as simple as possible. The diet should be such that we maintain our normal weight, neither losing nor gaining. However, if one is over-weight, Ramadhan is an ideal time to normalise one's weight.

In view of the long hours of fasting, we should consume slow digesting foods including fibre containing-foods rather than fast-digesting foods. Slow digesting foods last up to 8 hours, while fast-digesting foods last for only 3 to 4 hours.

Slow-digesting foods are foods that contain grains and seeds like barley, wheat, oats, millet, semolina, beans, lentils, wholemeal flour, unpolished rice, etc. (called complex carbohydrates). Fast-burning foods are foods that contain sugar, white flour, etc.
(called refined carbohydrates).

Fibre-containing foods are bran-containing foods, whole wheat, grains and seeds, vegetables like green beans, peas, sem (papry), marrow, mealies, spinach, and other herbs like methie, the leaves of beetroot (iron-rich), fruit with skin, dried fruit especially dried apricots, figs and prunes, almonds, etc.

The foods eaten should be well-balanced, containing foods from each food group, i.e. fruits, vegetables, meat/chicken/fish, bread/cereals and dairy products. Fried foods are unhealthy and should be limited. They cause indigestion, heart-burn, and weight problems.

AVOID

Fried and fatty foods.
Foods containing too much sugar.
Over-eating especially at sehri.
Too much tea at sehri.. Tea makes you pass more urine taking with it valuable mineral salts that your body would need during the day.
Smoking cigarettes. If you cannot give up smoking, cut down gradually starting a few weeks before Ramadhan. Smoking is unhealthy and one should stop completely.

EAT

Complex carbohydrates at sehri so that the food lasts longer making you less hungry.
Haleem is an excellent source of protein and is a slow-burning food. Dates are excellent source of sugar, fibre, carbohydrates, potassium and magnesium. Almonds are rich in protein and fibre with less fat. Bananas are a good source of potassium, magnesium and carbohydrates.

DRINK
As much water or fruit juices as possible between iftar and bedtime so that your body may adjust fluid levels in time.


CONSTIPATION

Constipation can cause piles (haemorroids), fissures and indigestion with a bloated feeling.
Causes: Too much refined foods, too little water and not enough fibre in the diet.
Remedy: Avoid excessive refined foods, increase water intake, use bran in baking, brown flour when making roti.

LETHARGY ('low blood pressure')

Excessive sweating, weakness, tiredness, lack of energy, dizziness, especially on getting up from sitting position, pale appearance and feeling faint are symptoms associated with "low blood pressure". This tends to occur towards the afternoon..
Causes: Too little fluid intake, decreased salt intake.
Remedy: Keep cool, increase fluid and salt intake.
Caution: Low blood pressure should be confirmed by taking a blood pressure reading when symptoms are present. Persons with high blood pressure may need their medication adjusted during Ramadhan. They should consult their doctor.

HEADACHE

Causes: Caffeine and tobacco-withdrawal, doing too much in one day, lack of sleep, hunger usually occur as the day goes by and worsens at the end of the day. When associated with "low blood pressure", the headache can be quite severe and can also cause nausea before Iftar.

Remedy: Cut down caffeine and tobacco slowly starting a week or two before
Ramadhan. Herbal and caffeine-free teas may be substituted. Reorganise your schedule during the Ramadan so as to have adequate sleep.

LOW BLOOD SUGAR

Weakness, dizziness, tiredness, poor concentration, perspiring easily, feeling shaky (tremor), unable to perform physical activities, headache, palpitations are symptoms of low blood sugar.

Causes in non-diabetics: Having too much sugar i.e. refined carbohydrates especially at suhur (sehri). The body produces too much insulin causing the blood glucose to drop..

Remedy: Eat something at sehri and limit sugar-containing foods and drinks.
Caution: Diabetics may need to adjust their medication in Ramadan, consult your doctor.

MUSCLE CRAMPS

Causes: Inadequate intake of calcium, magnesium and potassium foods.
Remedy: Eat foods rich in the above minerals e.g. vegetables, fruit, dairy products, meat and dates.

Caution: Those on high blood pressure medication and with kidney stone problems should consult their doctor.

PEPTIC ULCERS, HEART BURN, GASTRITIS AND HIATUS HERNIA

Increased acid levels in the empty stomach in Ramadhan aggravate the above
conditions. It presents as a burning feeling in the stomach area under the ribs and can extend up to the throat. Spicy foods, coffee, and Cola drinks worsen these conditions.

Medications are available to control acid levels in the stomach. People with proven peptic ulcers and hiatus hernia should consult their doctor well before Ramadhan.

KIDNEY STONES

Kidney stones may occur in people who have less liquids to drink. Therefore, it is essential to drink extra liquids so as to prevent stone formation.

JOINT PAINS

Causes: During Ramadhan, when extra salah are performed the pressure on the knee joints increases. In the elderly and those with arthritis this may result in pain, stiffness, swelling and discomfort.

Remedy: Lose weight so that the knees do not have to carry any extra load.
Exercise the lower limbs before Ramadhan so that they can be prepared for the additional strain. Being physically fit allows greater fulfilment, thus enabling one to be able to perform salah with ease.

How to become an IAS/IPS officer?

How to become an IAS/IPS officer?
In this article we will talk about the process involved in becoming an IAS or (Indian Administrative Services) officer!

Please Note: Becoming an:

· IAS (Indian Administrative Services) officer

· IPS (Indian Police Services) officer etc…

Is all done though the same “UPSC held Civil Services” examination! This guide is written from the point of view of becoming an IAS officer. However, the procedure to become an IPS etc. officer is also the same!

If you are interested in becoming an IAS officer, you probably know what the IAS is all about and why becoming an IAS officer is a very good career option. However, just incase you do not know, let us give you some quick information on IAS!

If you become an IAS officer, you become part of the Indian Administrative Service. You will be part of the Govt. You can work from “the inside” and change “the system”!!

If you have a dream for India , or if you, like us, believe that India will soon be a “super-power”. If you want to be part of the process of making India a great nation, IAS is for you! Being an IAS officer, there is a lot more power and control you have so that you can be part of Emerging India !

Besides that, IAS is a great career option! You get many “perks of the job” when you are an IAS officer. You will have “job security”, “discount on Govt. services”, “Govt. provided transportation” and many more things... Even though the monthly salary provided by the IAS career is not too high, the “perks” make up for the less salary!

However, getting into the IAS is not that easy! There is a very competitive “one year long” exam! To get into the IAS, you probably will have to try more than once before you succeed. And even if you clear the exam, then you have to get a very good score to qualify for the IAS! So, basically getting into the IAS is not that easy. However, here on indiahowto.com, we will try to show you “how to..” get in.

To get into the IAS, you will have to give the “UPSC held Civil Services Examination”. It is a common exam for getting into the IAS, IPS etc. To succeed in the “Civil Services Examination” you first need to understand how the examination is conducted or the “examination format”! But, before we understand that, let get some "Frequently Asked Questions" out of the way….


How do I apply for the “Civil Services Exam”?

The Application Procedure for the Civil Services Examination is pretty simple. The “Application Form” and “Information Brochure” can be obtained from the “Head Post Offices or Post Offices” throughout the country.

The filled Application Form should be sent to:
Secretary,
Union Public Service Commission,
Dholpur House,
New Delhi - 110011.

Just to give you an idea, here is a sample application form. Note: This is just a sample form to give you an idea. You cannot use this form for application. You will have to take an actual form from the Post Office/Head Post Office in your town!

Here is the information brochure you will get along with the application form. You should download it and read it properly. It tells you about the filling of the form, the exam and some other details.

Can anyone apply, what is the eligibility criteria?
I. Academic Eligibility
The candidate must possess a degree from an Indian University or an educational institution deemed as a University or possess an equivalent qualification. Those in the final year of a degree course can also appear in the Preliminary Examination.

II. Other Eligibility Conditions

1. For the IAS and the IPS, the candidate must be a citizen of India .

2. For the other services, a candidate must be either:

· a citizen of India , or

· a subject of Nepal , or

· a person of Indian origin who has migrated from Pakistan, Burma, Sri Lanka, East African countries of Kenya, Uganda, the United Republic of Tanzania, Zambia, Malawi, Zaire, Ethiopia and Vietnam with the intention of permanently settling in India.


iii. The candidate must have attained 21 years of age on August 1st of the year of examination and must not have attained 30 years of age on that date. The upper age limit will be relaxed by 3 years for OBC candidates and 5 years for SC/ST candidates. The upper age limit is also relaxed in favor of certain categories of civil servants working under the Government of India and Defense Services Personnel.

These are the Govt. stated eligibility criteria. If you come under these, you can give the exam.

When is the examination usually conducted?
The notification for the examination (giving the rules and syllabus for all the subjects in the examination) is published in the month of December every year in the 'Employment News' / 'Rozgar Samachar' and 'Gazette of India ', as well as, in some leading Newspapers.

You should try to get a copy of this notification. The “Preliminary Examination” is usually held in May / June and the “Main Examination” in October / November of the same calendar year.

If you are wondering what the “Main Examination” and the “Preliminary Examination” is, don’t worry! We will be explaining all this in the next page.

People give the exam many times!? How many times are you allowed to give the exam?
· If you belong to the “Open Category” you can give the exam 4 times maximum!

· If you belong to the “OBC” you can give the exam 7 times.

· If you belong to the “SC/ST” you can give the exam as many times as you want. There is no restriction on the number of times!

Okay, now let us understand the “format” of the exam...


Pattern or Format of Civil Service Exam!

The Civil Service Examination has a complicated format! The complete exam stretches over a period of one year! So, before you go ahead, let us first try to understand the “format” of the exam.

First of all, in the month of May or June there are the “Preliminary examinations”. Now, in this examination, there are two papers. The papers are on:

1. General Studies (150 marks)
2. Some optional subject (300 marks)

This exam is just to get you to the next round of the “main exam”. This is just to short list candidates. The score you get here is NOT added to your final score.

Now, you are probably wondering what “general studies” and “some optional subject” means, so let us clear that up!

General Studies Paper….
General Studies paper consists of questions on:

1. Indian Polity & Economy

2. History of India including Indian National Movement

3. Indian and World Geography

4. Current Affairs of National and International Importance

5. General and day-to-day Science

6. Mental Ability and Basics of Statistics etc.

Questions on planning, budgeting, developmental programs, latest issues of political and constitutional importance, panchayati raj, electoral reforms, natural resources, culture, growth of nationalism, Committees, Commission etc can be expected every year.

Now-a-days, there is a lot of emphasis on “current affairs” in the general studies paper!

Basically, the syllabus is HUGE and vague. But, don’t worry we shall try to help you with what you need to do. How to prepare for these papers is given later on in the “How to prepare” section…

“Some optional subject” paper
Here you have to give a paper on a subject of your choice. You can choose from the following subjects:

· Agriculture

· Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Science

· Botany

· Chemistry

· Civil Engineering

· Commerce

· Economics

· Electrical Engineering

· Geography

· Geology

· Indian History

· Law

· Mathematics

· Mechanical Engineering

· Medical Science

· Philosophy

· Physics

· Political Science

· Psychology

· Public Administration

· Sociology

· Statistics

· Zoology

As, you know, to give the exam you need to be a “graduate” in some field. People generally choose their optional subject as the same subject that they graduated in. However, there is no such compulsion. You can choose any subject and give your "optional subject paper" for that subject.

To get the syllabus for the optional subject you pick, you can check out this link!

Okay, now after you have given the prelims, you have to wait for the result and see if you got selected for the “Main Examination”! The results generally come out by July or August!

Once the results are out, you will know whether you are going to be appearing for the “Main Examination” or not!

Now, in the main examination, there are “9” papers that you have to give! These papers include:

· 1 Essay type Indian Language Qualifying Paper (300 marks)

· 1 English Qualifying Paper (300 marks)

· 1 General Essay type paper (200 marks)

· 2 General Studies papers (300 marks each)

· 4 Optional subjects papers (300 marks each)


You can find the syllabus for these papers here. Then finally, if you qualify after the “main examination” stage, you have to go for an interview. In the interview, you are tested on basis of your personality, mental ability etc. It is seen how suitable the job will be for you. And, if the interviewers like you, you are selected.

This complete process takes about one year. The preparation for this starts 4-5 yeas in advance. And out of the 2 lakh people that apply, only 400 to 500 are selected! To add to all this, if you are selected and only if you have a good enough score, you are free to choose what you want, whether IAS, IPS etc… IAS and IPS get filled out fastest. If you want to become an IAS officer, you will need a great score!

It’s hard, but we will try to guide you….Next, let us see how you should prepare for the prelims…..


How to prepare for the Civil Services Preliminary Exam?

Now, as you saw in the previous section, in the preliminary examination there are two papers.

1. General studies

2. Optional Subject

Preparing for General Studies Paper
We discussed the “syllabus” of the General Studies paper in the last section. However, as we saw, the syllabus is quite large and vague. However, to prepare for it, you could do the following:

FIRSTLY: For this paper, it is very important to be updated in “current affairs” in all fields.

For History, Economy, Polity, etc, you should read Class 11 and 12 books published by the NCERT. Here are some NCERT e-book downloads that you can use free!

For general knowledge and objective-type questions, refer to the book “General Knowledge Refresher by O.P. Khanna”.

According to IAS topper of 2000, Sorabh Babu Maheshwari, you must read “Competition Success Review” issues from December to May. Just go through them and try to pick as many facts as you can. Also solve the previous years' General Studies Prelims and Model Papers published in Competition Success Review.

Here are some sample General Studies papers to give you an idea:
General Studies 2006 Prelims Paper
General Studies 2005 Prelims Paper

When studying for General Studies, you should try to read up as many business and political magazines, newspapers etc. that you can. This has two advantages. It will give you a good control over the English language. This "good control" helps you in many of the papers like the "essay paper", the "English qualifying paper" etc. It will also keep you updated with the latest facts and current affairs.

However, do not over do this. You should not waste your time reading a lot and picking up very few facts! You must try to read only things that matter and take an extra effort to look out for things that could be asked in the exam papers!

How to prepare for the Optional Subject paper?
Before you prepare for the optional subject paper, you first need to select the optional subject.


What subject should you take?

If you have got your “bachelor’s” degree in a particular field, and you are confident about that field then choosing that subject as your optional subject would be a good idea.

It would be wise to look though the syllabus of the subject you are selecting and seeing whether you have covered all of the topics in your degree course and how well you feel you know those topics. You could take a look at the syllabus from here.

Another strategy is to select a subject like “Geography” or “History” if you can mug-up a lot of facts. These subjects help some people to score really well in the prelims and this is what gets them to their “Mains Exam”!

One important thing to remember: After the prelims, you are not going to get much time to prepare for the “Main Exam” if you get selected. It would make a lot of sense to try to study both “General Studies” as well as the “Optional Subject” properly, as if you are studying for the Mains! At least one optional subject of the mains will be almost over! If you do this, your load for the mains will reduce a lot!


How to study for the optional subject?

Well, there are many different subjects and it would not be practical to explain how to study for each individual one. However, we shall help you with the general way to go about it!

Obtain the latest syllabus for the civil service exam you will be giving. Then, gather up all your books, and cover the topics of the syllabus while SIMULTANEOUSLY referring to the question papers and seeing the kind of questions that are asked on each topic!

Now, as you know, the paper will be a multiple choice questions paper. So, people look though the syllabus and make the mistake of assuming something like, “This cannot be asked as a multiple-choice question! What can they possibly ask?” This is a BIG mistake!

They can convert just about anything into a confusing multiple choice question. So a good understanding of all the concepts of the syllabus is a must!

Another thing to remember, when you start to study for the prelims, you might tend to want to focus more on the “optional subject” since you already know it and it is easier! Do not do this! Make sure you concentrate on the “General Studies” paper also. If you do not, you will just not reach the Mains!

Remember also not to over concentrate on the “General Studies” paper. It has fewer marks than the optional subject. So, basically, do not “over” or “under” focus on any one! Do both in the right proportion. (We know that all this is easier to say than do!)

Now, let us assume that you have given your Prelims exams and are now going in for the MAINS, let us see how to tackle them…


How to prepare for the "Mains Exam"? - Part 1

Okay, just to re-cap, let us first understand what are the papers you will have to give in the mains examination:

· 1 Essay type Indian Language Paper (300 marks)

· 1 English Qualifying Paper (300 marks)

· 1 General Essay type paper (200 marks)

· 2 General Studies papers (300 marks each)

· 4 Optional subjects papers (300 marks each)

In case you are confused about what "4 optional subject papers" means, let us just clear that up first. You see, for the "mains exam" you have to select 2 optional subjects. And on each of these optional subjects, you will have to give 2 papers. So that makes 4 optional subject papers in all!

As we said earlier, when you are studying for the prelims, you should study both the “optional subject” and the “general studies” really well! If you do this, you can use the same knowledge to give the mains exam. It will reduce your study load for the mains exam a lot! When studying for the mains exam, one of the optional subjects will be almost done and a lot of the “general studies” syllabus will be covered!

If you are confused about what the “mains” is all about, you might want to go back and take a look at the “Format of Civil service exam” page!

How to choose the second optional subject?
To select the second optional subject, you must decide on basis of two factors:

1. The availability of study material/books etc. on the subject you select.

2. The amount of interest you have in that subject!

Study material is generally a problem! So you should keep a look out for good books etc. that cover the syllabus of the optional subjects you select.

Now, as we decided previously, one optional subject will be the same as the optional subject you chose in the prelims! The other optional subject could be something like “history” or “geography” etc. if you can mug-up a lot of facts! On the other hand, if you have interest in some other subject and you can find enough study material on it, you should definitely go for that subject.

The list of options you have for your optional subject's is here:

· Agriculture

· Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Science

· Botany

· Chemistry

· Civil Engineering

· Commerce

· Economics

· Electrical Engineering

· Geography

· Geology

· Indian History

How to prepare for the "Mains Exam"? - Part 2

What is “General Essay Type” paper? What do they ask in that paper?

In this paper, you will be required to write an essay on a specific topic. The choice of topic will be given. You should keep closely to the subject of the essay to arrange your ideas in orderly fashion, and to concisely!

Read a lot of essays. Read as many essays as you can get your hands on. One good source of high-quality essays, are the essays published in the CSR or Competiation Succes Review. Try to get a hold of their magazine. It is full of useful information!

Make sure you read only “great” essays by “top” authors! This will give you a feel of how essays are written. Also try to get a good book on writing essays. There will be many available in your local book store. There is pattern or way in which you essay must be structured. All this can be learnt from a good book on writing essays.

Finally, practice! Write essays on challenging topics and get them read by friends and colleagues or teachers who have a degree in the English language. They may be able to give you some good pointers to improve your presentation on performance.

Vinod K.Jacob, Topper 2000 suggest that this is how you should actually use your time when writing the essay paper in the exam:

45 minutes can be given for planning out structure and content of your essay, then two hours of writing (around 200 words). Finally, 15 minutes just in case you need some extra time to write some more or read though your essay and improve and correct it!

What is the “English qualifying paper” all about?

The paper will consist of:
(i) Comprehension of given passages.
(ii) Precis Writing

Okay, finally after all this is over, we get to the last part of the “Civil service exam” selection process! The interview!! So, lets try to understand, how to tackle the interview next!


How to give the civil service exam interview?

Now, if you have got though all the 9 papers of the mains exam well, you should get your interview call by about March or April. In the interview, your confidence, personality and understanding of the world is judged.

The interview is quite subjective. We cannot give any definite advise about how you can prepare for it. It would definitely be good if you read some book about how to prepare and deliver an interview.

Here we have provided for you a huge compilation of “tips” given by civil service exam toppers like Mr.Sorabh Babu Maheshwari, Ms. Manju Rajpal, Mr. Santosh Kumar Misra etc.

Here is what they think about the interview and how they think you should deal with it:

"Questions posed before a candidate by the interviewing board are very well framed and answers to them should be made taking into consideration all possible views and a balanced approach is expected from a candidate."

"One should prepare for the interview with a group of 3-4 people as the preparation for Interview cannot be done in isolation. Personality is a life-time asset and expecting miraculous changes in personality in a span of a few days or weeks is not possible. Yet, efforts can be made to overcome major deficiency and polishing of views and opinions."

"Remember, non-awareness of something should be admitted with politeness. It is okay to not know something!"

"If at any point of time, you could show that your approach is flexible the world is yours."

"It is better to say 'No' than to bluff around. Those interviewing are highly experienced persons and know much better than us."

"If the question put is not clear to you, politely ask for more information. It is not the factual knowledge but your views which are on test in the interview."

"Always observe interview etiquette and be honest, polite, convincing an modest. Arrogance, rigidity, flicking round the issue should be avoided."

"When preparing for the interview, keep in mind that no Training institute can improve your personality! Some of these institutes can be helpful if they conduct Group Discussions and Mock Interviews"

"General Do's & Don'ts for the Interview:

1. Be utmost respectful to the board. They are usually very senior and learned people.

2. Have no biases for any Board . Don't go by any stories doing rounds in your campus corridors.

3. Never make any sweeping statement

4. Accept your mistakes boldly."

"Interview preparation does not require one to stuff oneself with facts, ability to analyse and to critically examine an issue is what actually counts."

"Speak honestly, truthfully and with modesty. Understand the questions before answering them and clarify the points if you did not understand them. Many a time what happens is that your answer is misinterpreted, so do not hesitate in clarifying it."

"Framing your own questions and answering them (especially recording them on to a tape and listening them) is a very useful technique, if you don't feel confident. Otherwise also it is extremely helpful in making a correct choice of words while answering a question."

"Reach the Exam centre well in time, so some deep breathing to maintain your cool and be charming during the interview."

"Interview preparation is not just a matter of a few days - your whole personality counts. Still you must acquaint yourself with your home State, district your college, your hobbies, general concepts of Public Administration, etc. also you can brush up the Mains GS material like Polity, Economy, History, etc."

"Interview is more of a psychological test than just content based. But along with good communication skills and self-confidence, good knowledge base gives you an upper hand."

"For the Interview read as many newspapers and as many magazine as possible. Discuss with your friends. Take mock-interviews. Try to find loop-holes in your arguments and plug them. Form your views on various subjects in a very logical and rational manner supported by data whenever necessary. Do not get nervous."

"Do not get nervous before the Interviews. Improve your communications skills by giving mock-interviews. These will also open you up. Ask your friends to grill you, so that you can face pressure from the Board easily."

"Always pause a bit before answering even if you know the answer. Do not give a hasty reply.. Answer in an orderly and logical fashion an always look into the eyes of the interviewer while answering. Be polite and courteous."

"Don't be argumentative. Be consistent in your views, i.e. just don't change your views because of the fact that the Board is differing with you. Remember that they are only testing you and often even try to provoke you. Give balanced answers and avoid taking extremes."

"The most important thing to know about the Interview is that it is not a question-answer session and what they are looking out for is different aspects of one's personality. As far as possible, the answer given should reveal a particular aspect of one's personality and attempts should not be made to present a make-up appearance or politically correct answers. There is no harm in taking extreme views if one is able to justify them."

That is the complete compilation of all the tips on facing the interview provided by the IAS toppers. Now, finally, let us look at a sample study plan as suggested by an IAS topper…


A study schedule for the Civil Services Exam!

Here is a suggested Study time table by Exam topper Santosh Kumar Misra. It can help you plan out your studies for giving the exam!

Start in December

December to February: Finish your Optional Subject preparation. The "Optional Subject" is NOT the one you are going to be giving in the prelims! The other optional subject! The one you will be giving in the Mains!

March & April: Devote fully to the Preparation of Optional 1 (i.e., the subject you'll opt in the prelims) thoroughly.

May should be spent exclusively for Prelims. A selective and precise coverage of syllabus for the prelims is required.

Give your Preliminary Exams!

Take a break after the Prelims for 10-15 days. Relax and re-energize yourself for the last four months.

Complete the Optional-1 where you left it at the time of Prelims. This should be done by the middle of July.

Give second half of July and August to your Optional 2, once again.

Prepare all your General Studies including current events in September and leave October for Revision. Also prepare for your "English qualifying paper" and "Indian Language qualifying" paper now! However, you are weak in English or the Indian language, you will have start this preparation a little earlier!

Give your mains!

After your Mains are over, take a break for say a month or so. Just keep reading Newspaper/Magazines (Hindu & Frontline's international events are a good combination).

From January you should start preparing for your round two. Prepare the topics you could not do in your 1st attempt and try to cover any, new areas where you feel you were weak. By March, you should be fully prepare to tackle the Mains once again (hopefully you won't need it, still it pays to be prepared).

In March the results come out and immediately afterwards you should start your interview preparation.

Give your interview! Get selected! OVER!

We hope that you found this article useful. If you did, remember to tell your friends who are studying for the IAS/IPS or Civil Services Exam about it. Besides that, we wish you BEST OF LUCK! Just writing all this is easy. However, actually doing all this is a very different story!

We hope that YOU do succeed and help change the face of the county and contribute to India becoming a super-power!
