Prithvi Missile
The Prithvi missile (from Sanskrit pṛthvī "Earth") is the short range ballistic missile (SRBM) developed by India under the IGMDP. The Prithvi was India's first indigenously developed ballistic missile. Development of the Prithvi began in 1983, and it was first tested fired on February 25, 1988. It has a range of up to 150 to 300 km with variants for land and sea/subsurface roles (Dhanush (Bow)) targeting surface targets. The Prithvi is said to have its propulsion technology derived from the Soviet SA-2 surface-to-air missile. Variants make use of either liquid or solid propellants or both. Developed as a battlefield missile, it could carry a nuclear warhead in its role as a tactical nuclear weapon. Some versions have already been handed over to the Indian Army Missile Group for deployment.

The two, while they were still children, had been married and had grown up together to become man and wife, had produced and reared four sons and had taken a vow of celibacy by the age of thirty, when many young men and women today have still to chose their life's partners.

History of Cheque
During the first century A.D., banks in the Persia (Iran) and other territories in Persian empire under Sassanid dynasty issued letters of credit known as Sakks. They are considered the basis for the modern cheque.
The cheque had its origins in the ancient banking system, in which bankers would issue orders at the request of their customers, to pay money to identified payees. Such an order was referred to as a bill of exchange. The use of bills of exchange facilitated trade by eliminating the need for merchants to carry large quantities of currency (e.g. gold) to purchase goods and services. A draft is a bill of exchange which is payable on demand of the payee.

Galileo Galileii
Galileo Galileii (Pisa, February 15, 1564 – Arcetri, January 8, 1642), was an Italian physicist, astronomer, and philosopher who is closely associated with the scientific revolution. His achievements include improvements to the telescope, a variety of astronomical observations, the first law of motion, the second law of motion, and effective support for Copernicanism. He has been referred to as the "father of modern astronomy," as the "father of modern physics," and as "father of science." His experimental work is widely considered complementary to the writings of Francis Bacon in establishing the modern scientific method. Galileo's career coincided with that of Johannes Kepler. The work of Galileo is considered to be a significant break from that of Aristotle. In addition, his conflict with the Roman Catholic Church is taken as a major early example of the conflict of authority and freedom of thought, particularly with science, in Western society.

These included traditions such as idol worship, caste by birth, and the exclusion of females from the study of the Vedas. One of his main messages was for Hindus to go back to the roots of their religion, which are the Vedas. By doing this, he felt that Hindus would be able to improve the depressive religious, social, political, and economic conditions prevailing in India in his times
