Photo illustration from an unknown book, of a clipping from an unknown newspaper: MRS. ROOSEVELT CARRIES A PISTOL! 'Packs' a Weapon on Lone Auto Journeys — And Knows How to Use It [Photo of Eleanor Roosevelt behind the wheel of a 1930s convertible with the top down] [Caption] MRS. FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT AT WHEEL OF HER AUTOMOBILE First Lady was Starting for a Drive Through Rock Creek Park. [Article text] NEW ORLEANS, March 6 [illegible] P.) - Mrs Eleanor Roosevelt modestly revealed today that she is somewhat of a marksman with a pistol. She was trained, she said, by New York State prison guards as a matter of protection when she drives about the country alone. In a press conference here preceding the first of a series of lectures on a [illegible] State tour, the President’s wife casually told of her adeptness with a gun. She said: “Only when I travel by automobile - that is, when I drive alone, have I any protection. And then I carry a pistol.” “Can you use a pistol?” asked astonished reporters. She replied: “Oh yes, I was trained by the prison guards of New York and I’m a fairly good shot.” At her first lecture, Mrs. Roosevelt reemphasized that she had no desire to become the President of the United States. “The time is not yet ripe,” she said, for women in that field. “Not that many of them are not worthy, but at this time no woman can obtain and hold the support necessary for election.” Mrs. Roosevelt was to speak in Baton Rouge tonight. [Caption below clipping] When the First Lady insisted on driving her own cur, the Secret Service begged her to carry a pistol.

The Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix, written by Scott Lobdell with art by Gene Ha, took the time-travel premise to its most metaphysical. In the six-issue series, published in 1994, Scott and Jean are brought into the future by Mother Askani — but seeing as their bodies could never theoretically make that trip, their consciousnesses are placed into new bodies, cloned from more recent descendants. Now known as Slym and Redd, Scott and Jean spend a short time with Nathan, training him in his powers, and eventually supporting him in his fight against Apocalypse. Though they do get sent to their own time shortly after that massive battle, Scott and Jean’s impact on Nathan’s life is acutely felt. He goes on to amass more power not only as Cable, but the

38. THE ECONOMIC CONDITION OF INDIA BEFORE THE BRITISH RULE (BEFORE 1757 CE): AN EMPIRICAL STUDY Dr. Ram Krishna Mandal1* and Dr. Swapnali Baruah2 1Professor, Department of Economics, Cooch Behar Panchanan Barma University, Cooch Behar, West Bengal, India. 2Assistant Professor, College of Administrative and Financial Sciences, Saudi Electronic University, Dammam, Saudi Arabia. *Corresponding Author Dr. Ram Krishna Mandal Professor, Department of Economics, Cooch Behar Panchanan Barma University, Cooch Behar, West Bengal, India. Article History Received: 07.01.2025 Accepted: 05.02.2025 Published: 28.02.2025 Abstract: The Mughals were in charge of bringing the nation together, establishing a standardised currency, and constructing a vast road network. Shashi Tharoor makes the brutally straight forward argument that Europeans colonised India for their own gain, using its riches and resources to enrich the colonisers rather than to better the lot of the Indian people. Given that proponents of empire frequently employed terms like "benefit" and "welfare," Tharoor shifts her focus to the specifics of colonialism's economics. Objective: The research has attempted to investigate India's economic situation before the arrival of the British. Methodology: The study has utilized both qualitative and quantitative approaches on the basis of secondary sources. Result and Discussion: The Mughal economy was built on a complex network of coined currency, land revenue and trade. Royal mints produced gold, silver and copper coins provided that free coinage was established. The centralised administration, the political stability and the uniform revenue policy evolved by the Mughals, and the presence of a well-structured internal trade network allowed India to be economically united even before a single British ship arrived; economically united was India to a large extent, though it was a nation with a traditio…

In the last four months, a spate of speakers have come to Frisco City Hall voicing opposition to the suburb's growing South Asian population, alleging that Indians in Frisco engaged in H-1B fraud and protesting the construction of a mosque. The speakers have left some South Asian residents uncomfortable and afraid. At a rally outside City Hall last week, a right-wing activist ripped an Indian flag apart. A digital sign at the rally warned against a "Hindu takeover of Texas." Some see familiar conflicts between Hindus and Muslims playing out in the race in Frisco. In 1947, when the Indian subcontinent gained independence from the British Empire, it was divided along religious lines. Pakistan became a Muslim theocracy and India became a secular, Hindu-majority nation. The violence and mass displacement caused by the partition and wars over disputed territory have led to a longstanding rivalry between the two nations. Politicians, including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi of the BJP, a Hindu nationalist political party, have long capitalized on tensions between Hindus and Muslims. 'Bullies' at the Hindu temple For months, the mounting rhetoric has been a low-level concern for Padma Richardson, who has lived in the city since 2020. She worries especially about her mother, a devout Hindu who visits the city's Karya Siddhi Hanuman temple every day. Far-right activists from outside the city have taken to filming worshippers and protesting near the temple, hoping to tap into anti-Indian outrage online. When her elementary school-age children asked her about the activists, Richardson, 38, said she wanted to "protect their innocence" but explained in terms they'd understand. "These are bullies," Richardson told her kids. "They're just filled with a lot of hate."

(Smiley N. Pool/Dallas Morning News) A recent rise in anti-South Asian rhetoric in Frisco has coincided with campaign season for the city's mayoral election. On Saturday, voters will elect a new mayor for the first time in nine years. Candidate Rod Vilhauer said on a podcast in March that South Asian immigrants were "moving in and out of Frisco like rats" and called Islam a "terrorist group."
