Bharat Ratna Award

Bharat Ratna Award

India has produced a legacy of brave hearts since times immemorial. Probably there is not enough space to measure their sacrifices. However, we cannot close our eyes to those people who have made  our  country proud by excelling in their own fields and bringing us international recognition. Bharat Ratna  is  the highest civilian  honour  given for exceptional service  towards advancement of Art, Literature and Science, and in recognition of Public  Service  of the highest order.

The original specifications for the award called for a circular gold medal, 35 mm in diameter, with the sun and the Hindi legend "Bharat Ratna" above and a floral wreath below. The reverse was to carry the state emblem and motto. It was to be worn around the neck from a white ribbon. This design was altered after a year.

The provision of Bharat Ratna was introduced in 1954.  The first ever Indian to receive this award was the famous scientist, Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman. Since then, many dignitaries, each a whiz in varied aspects of their career has received this coveted award.

In fact, our former President, Shri A. P. J Abdul Kalam is also a recipient of this esteemed honour (1997). There is no written provision that Bharat Ratna should be awarded to Indian citizens only. The award has been awarded to a naturalized Indian citizen, Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, better known as Mother Teresa (1980) and to two non-Indians – Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan and Nelson Mandela (1990). It is also not mandatory that Bharat Ratna be awarded every year. The last time this award was given was in 2008, to Pandit Bhimsen Gururaj Joshi.

6. What does HTTP stands for?

1.  Hypertext Transfer Protocol

2.  Hypertext Transfer Plotter

3.  Head Tail Transfer Plot

4.  Head Tail Transfer Protocol

Answer: A

 What is HTTP?

HTTP, the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, is the application-level protocol that is used

to transfer data on the Web.  HTTP comprises the rules by which Web browsers and

servers exchange information.  Although most people think of HTTP only in the context

of the World-Wide Web, it can be, and is, used for other purposes, such as distributed

object management systems.

How Does HTTP Work?

HTTP Is a request-response protocol.  For example, a Web browser initiates a

request to a server, typically by opening a TCP/IP connection.  The request itself

comprises

1.  a request line, 

2 .a set of request headers, and

3.an entity.  

The server sends a response that comprises

1.  a status line, 

2. a set of response headers, and

3. an entity. 

The entity in the request or response can be thought of simply as the payload,

which may be binary data.  The other items are readable ASCII characters.  When the

response has been completed, either the browser or the server may terminate the

TCP/IP connection, or the browser can send another request.

An Example

As an illustration of HTTP, here is an example exchange between a Web browser and

the Silicon Press server, www.silicon-press.com.  In response to a user request to go

to the URL

http://www.silicon.press.com

the browser sends the following HTTP request to www.silicon-press.com:

GET / HTTP/1.1

Connection: Keep-Alive

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/2.2-11; Linux)

www.silicon-press.com
