The Youngest Spy of India
A spy, what not does for his nation. He sacrifice his life, he changed his gender, religion, identity and completely live a new life in many different countries. He gathers unwanted information and update his country well in advance about any bomb attack or terrorist attack. A spy really saves many life.

Keep going West young man.
“Nothing that results in human progress is achieved in unanimous consent. Those that are enlightened before the others are condemned to pursue that light in spite of others.” I know that this famous quote by the great explorer Christopher Columbus comes in handy with the scope of my topic. This quote speaks about the true nature of those who dare to go beyond and above to achieve greatness. The Panama canal took the world by storm. Many thought that it was an impossible task, but engineers found a way to split the Continent in half, making the dream of keep going west a reality. Like Conquistadors from a not-so-distant past, man went against all odds to bulldoze their way into the inhospitable soil of the unknown.

The golden temple
The site on which the Golden Temple rests has been a space for quiet reflection for centuries. Originally a small lake in the middle of a forest, many saints and sages have stopped here to meditate and dip in the holy waters. Both the Buddha and Guru Nanak have been known to have meditated here, but it was through the blessing of Guru Ram Das, his excavation of the pond and the founding of Amritsar, that it has become the center that it is today.

Whether it's for protection, for disguise, or for making a statement, we have always used clothing and accessories to communicate and combat the effects of whatever plague may be upon us at that given time. Below are five ways society has used fashion in response to pandemics throughout history:

The Presidential Dinner That Scandalized America
Today’s article involves one of the most famous presidents in US history, President Theodore Roosevelt. He was known for shaking things up and kind of making his own way. In 1901, he did something that wouldn’t seem too controversial to us today. Certainly not. He had someone over for dinner, you know. He’s the president at this time. He’s pretty busy in general. But because he’s the president of the United States, even the smallest of social decisions carry enormous weight in symbolism for the public. It’s not like you or I casually inviting a new friend or new coworker to have some lasagna or something. This is always going to be interpreted as a statement.
