Would you eat genetically modified French Fries?
(Continued)

Last month, the U.S. Department of Agriculture gave an
appoval to start growing ‘Innate’, a potato that is designed
to produce less Acrylamide. But many people feel that
changing a crop’s genes could be harmful, which is why
many of them are resorting to organic food.

The Question is, would you be ready to eat food that is
genetically modified? Send your answers in the box
below.

Why was Telangana formed?

At the time of the partition of India, the state of Hyderabad was the largest
of all princely states in India. It covered 82,698 square miles (214,190 km2)
of fairly homogenous territory and comprised a population of roughly 16.34
million people (as per the 1941 census) of which a majority (85%) was Hindu.
Hyderabad State had its own army, airline, telecommunication system, railway
network, postal system, currency and radio broadcasting service.

In September 1948, India launched a military operation named Operation
Polo, led by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, then Minister of Home
Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister of India. The Indian Armed
Forces invaded the State of Hyderabad and overthrew Nizam.

Seven Nizams had ruled Hyderabad State for two centuries until the Indian
conquest of Hyderabad in 1948 brought about the end of the dynasty. The
Asaf Jahi rulers were great patrons of literature, art, architecture, culture,
jewellery, and rich food. The Nizams patronized Persian art, Persian
Architecture, and Persian culture, which became central to the Hyderabadi
Muslim identity. They also introduced electricity, developed the railways and the roads, air communications,
irrigation and reservoirs. The last Nizam was well known for his huge wealth and jewelry collection; he had been
the richest man in the world until the end of his reign. Indeed, all major public buildings in Hyderabad City were
built during his reign, while the British Raj was supreme. He pushed education, science, and the establishment
of Osmania University.
