Our Indian education system is such that we are taught a lot about history, long fought battles, wars, invaders and kings and rulers who died when and how.  In broader sense, history does not only about dates and battles, it associates and intersperses our past and present with social, cultural, religious and traditional discourses.  Our history spanning over thousand years guide our present and future. Indian writers have given their thoughts flying colors making our history unbelievably great.  They get inspired from our enormously vast past incidents and express them according to their views and idea.  There is no particular parameter which may define the history as fiction.  Indian mythological epics like Ramayana and Mahabharata have been described and redefined in numerous different ways.  India and Indian people have suffered a lot when British army ruled us for more than 200 years.  There were many brave patriots who fought for our independence.  One of such fighters is Rani Lakshmi Bai. This paper explores her life validating history through the novel, Rani.  This novel is written by Jaishree Misra.  Indian writers have explored the life and bravery of this amazingly courageous woman who redefined the womanhood and valor in her own way making a wave for the revolutionary fight for independence.

The Many

Perhaps the most exotic among the many strange kings and rulers mentioned in the inscription of Paikuli is the Khagan of the Aq-Aqatärān or ‘White Khazars’. This is the meaning which the late E. Herzfeld, in his edition of that inscription, attributed to a group of words in the Middle Persian version which he read as ḥ'k'n ZY 'kka'n. As the inscription dates from the last decade of the 3rd century (probably from A.d. 293), his interpretation seems to involve a double anachronism: in the title, and in the national name.

Small Change

The idea of the philosopher-statesman finds its first literary expression in Plato's Republic, where Socrates, facing the ‘third wave’ of criticism of his ideal State, how it can be realized in practice, declares2 that it will be sufficient ‘to indicate the least change that would affect a transformation into this type of government. There is one change’, he claims, ‘not a small change certainly, nor an easy one, but possible.’ ‘Unless either philosophers become kings in their countries, or those who are now called kings and rulers come to be sufficiendy inspired with a genuine desire for wisdom; unless, that is to say, political power and philosophy meet together, … there can be no rest from troubles for states.’

The Church

С самых первых веков своего существования христианство было подвержено разного рода притеснениям переходящим в открытые гонения. Церковь по своему духовному устройству является богочеловеческим организмом, который одновременно присущ миру земному и небесному. Враг рода человеческого не может смириться с тем, что сущность Церкви является неотмирной. Господь наш Иисус Христос в Евангелии дает прямое указание на то, что христиан впоследствии будут гнать и преследовать: «Если Меня гнали, будут гнать и вас» (Ин. 15, 20); «Возложат на вас руки и будут гнать вас, предавая в синагоги и темницы, и поведут пред царей и правителей за имя Мое…» (Лк. 21, 12). В современном мире преследование и дискриминация христиан приобрели системный характер. В то же время не менее интересен тот факт, что христиане по своей численности являются крупнейшей общиной в мире, но, несмотря на это, она находится в худшем состоянии. Цель статьи состоит в том, чтобы в комплексном виде представить факты дискриминации христиан в современном мире, а также действия Русской Православной Церкви, направленные на их защиту. Beginning from the first centuries of its existence, Christianity was subject to various kinds of oppression passing into open persecution. The Church in its spiritual structure is a God-human organism, which is at the same time inherent in the world of earth and heaven. The enemy of the human race cannot accept the fact that the essence of the Church is not out of this world. Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Gospel gives a direct indication that Christians are going to be persecuted: «If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you» (Jn. 15, 20). «They shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for My name’s sake...» (Lk. 21, 12). In our modern world, persecution and discrimination against Christians have become systemic. At the same time Christians are the largest community in the world, but despite this fact, it is in the worst condition. The aim of this article is to present in a comprehensive form the facts of discrimination against Christians in the modern world, as well as the actions of the Russian Orthodox Church focused on their protection.

The One

Phil 2.6b should not be understood in the manner of an idiom but in a clearly negative way (‘booty’). The central key to Phil 2.6b is offered by biblical, Jewish and Hellenistic traditions about a usurpation of equality with God by kings and rulers (cf. Isa 14.12–15; hubris of god-like kings like Alexander, who ‘robbed’ their position). The self-humiliating Christ (who did not claim equality with God) is conceived as an antitype to the self-elevating rulers of the world; his Lordship is not based on usurpation. Phil 2.6–11 is keenly aware of the Jewish notion of the One and Only God (cf. John 5.18); the mantle of God's Oneness also embraces Christ as the Lord.

The Middle Ages

This article analyses specific characteristics of pre-modern rule in medieval central Europe. It becomes clear from the analysis that although the notion of monarchy implies a single ruler (mon-archia), it was actually the case, however, that in political practice, the kings and rulers of the Holy Roman Empire had to come to an arrangement with the elites and nobles. Therefore, the famous model developed by Max Weber regarding the three types of legitimate rule: legal, traditional and charismatic, fall short of encompassing the alterity and plurality of politics in the Middle Ages. Here, the concept of consensual rule is conceptualised through the use of additional case studies. These case studies more appropriately capture the fluid decision-making process in the Middle Ages through ongoing negotiation. Thus, the kings and emperors are clearly integrated into the framework of pre-modern oligarchies and therefore offer a counter-outline to the doctrine of divine right.
