Rowlatt Act
The Anarchical and Revolutionary Crimes Act of 1919 , popularly known as the
Rowlatt Act or Black Act, was a legislative act passed by the Imperial
Legislative Council in Delhi on 10 March 1919, indefinitely extending the
emergency measures of preventive indefinite detention, incarceration without
trial and judicial review enacted in the Defence of India Act 1915 (DIRA)
during the First World War. It was enacted in light of a perceived threat from
revolutionary nationalists to organisations of re-engaging in similar conspiracies
as during the war which the Government felt the lapse of the DIRA regulations
would enable.
POLITICS OF TERROR
Passed on the recommendations of the Rowlatt Committee and named after its
president, British judge Sir Sidney Rowlatt, this act effectively authorized the
government to imprison any person suspected of terrorism living in British India
for up to two years without a trial, and gave the imperial authorities power to
deal with all revolutionary activities.
The unpopular legislation provided for stricter control of the press, arrests without
warrant, indefinite detention without trial, and juryless in camera trials for
proscribed political acts. The accused were denied the right to know the
accusers and the evidence used in the trial. Those convicted were required to
deposit securities upon release, and were prohibited from taking part in any
political, educational, or religious activities.

India has become a key player in the modern global economy, serving as a
significant global hub for knowledge based economic activities, both as an
"offshoring" destination as well as through the growth of indigenous firms. This
explosive growth is being driven in a large way by the burgeoning small and
medium business (SMB) sector, which is experiencing double digit growth.
Networking Needs
Indian SMBs today are looking to increase their operational efficiency,
employee productivity, customer responsiveness, cost containment, and
network security as well as increase their agility to react to competitive pressures
and high speed business changes. Working closely with our channel partners we
offer holistic, integrated, simple solutions/products (rather than ad hoc point
products) that enable SMBs plan their long-term technology strategy and
create real business value.

In Hinduism, nature and all of God's creations are manifestations of Him. He is within
and without his creations, pervading the entire universe and also observing it
externally. Hence all animals and humans have a divine element in them that is
covered by the ignorance and illusions of material or profane existence.
In earlier Vedic thinking, the universe was created by Hiranyagarbha (here
interpreted as 'the golden embryo') or by Prajapati who was born from the
Hiranyagarbha (here interpreted as 'the golden womb'). Prajapati was later identified
with the puranic Brahma. Other gods are credited with acts of creation, primarily the
act of propping apart the sky and the Earth - gods who are said to have done this
include Indra, Varuna and Vishnu.
Another myth which began in late Rig-Vedic times with the Purusha Sukta hymn was
the story of the creation of the universe from the remains of the primaeval cosmic
male Purusha, who had sacrificed himself or been sacrificed by other primaeval
beings (not the most popular Vedic gods because they were said to have been born
from Purusha after the sacrifice) at the Purushamedha yajna.
