Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will face each other in the 54th match of the 13th season of IPL. As the play-off race gets stuck in do or die for the Rajasthan team who will be aiming to beat Kolkata by keeping their hopes intact while maintaining the winning momentum. This match will be played in Dubai from 7.30 pm.

Winning the last league match, the 2008 champions Royals will have to pray for other results to be in their favor. For this, Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) will have to lose the game against the Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad (KXIP) to Mumbai Indians.

In such a situation, on the basis of the net run rate, the Rajasthan Royals team can make a place in the play-off. Before that, however, they will have to defeat KKR. The greater the margin of victory, the greater the advantage of Steve Smith’s team.

On the other hand, the path of the playoff is the most difficult for KKR. Their net run rate is worse than all the other teams. If they defeat Rajasthan and the other 12 points team involved in the competition does not reach 14 points, then only he will qualify. But it looks impossible.

Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will face each other in the 53rd match of the 13th season of IPL. Still intact in the playoff race, Punjab will have to register a big win against Chennai.

1 November formation day of seven major states

1 November is of great importance in the history of India. This is the date on which it was decided to reorganize the various states of the country on the basis of language years ago. The day of November 1 plays an important role in the history of the six states of India. From 1956 to 2000, six different states of India were born on this day.

Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Punjab, Haryana, Karnataka and Kerala are the six states that celebrate their foundation day on a single day.

Madhya Pradesh located in the middle of the country is also called the heart of India. This state was also established on 1 November 1956. But the establishment of Madhya Pradesh was most challenging for the Indian government.

Actually, the four provinces – Central Province, Old Madhya Pradesh, Vindhya Pradesh and Bhopal – were to be formed into one state, but in reality the people living in these big provinces had different ideas, lifestyle, food, lifestyle, folk. Culture and ethics.

Later, in the year 2000, on the same day of November 1, Chhattisgarh was carved out of Madhya Pradesh and formed as a new state.

Till independence, Chhattisgarh was known as Dakshin Kaushal Province. However, in the year 1956, this province was merged with the present Madhya Pradesh. But, like the rest of the states, Madhya Pradesh was not formed on the basis of language.

The demand to make Chhattisgarh a separate state was already coming up before independence. Because everyone here spoke Chhattisgarhi and Gond languages. Apart from this, it was also called Chhattisgarh because it contained 36 strongholds. But at that time the government, ignoring these demands, merged it with Madhya Pradesh.

After independence, when the reorganization of states was being decided, some parts of Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh (presently) and Union Territory of Chandigarh were all part of the same major state of Punjab province.

However, the Sikhs under the leadership of Shiromani Akali Dal demanded a separate Sikh state.


After independence, on 1 July 1949, the original states of Travancore and Cochin were merged together by the Government of India under the supervision of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. This was perhaps the first step towards the formation of a united Kerala. And then the kings of these different provinces had agreed to abandon their personal identity and merge for the happiness of their people.

Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai, who ruled millions of hearts with her beautiful age, has turned 47 today and is celebrating her birthday today.

And then when the question was asked on the most beautiful beauty of India, Aishwarya lost to Sushmita in this match.

Aishwarya may have missed out on winning the Miss India title but in the same year she won the Miss World title and the magic of her beauty went on everyone.

Aishwarya started her film career in 1997. The film was Mani Ratnam’s ‘Iruvar’.

Aishwarya is the first Indian celebrity whose wax figure was put in the Madame Tussam Museum.

Since then, she started getting offers for films. She made her acting debut in the Tamil film ‘Iruvar’. Her first Hindi film was ‘Aur Pyar Ho Gaya’. Her first commercial success was Jeans. After this, she got massive success when Sanjay Leela Bhansali cast her for the role of Paro in ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’ and ‘Devdas’.

World Vegan Day 2020

World Vegan Day is an annual event celebrated by vegans around the world every 1 November.

The benefits of veganism for humans and the natural environment are celebrated through activities such as setting up stalls, hosting potlucks, and planting memorial trees.

A vegan is a person who does not consume or use products derived from animals. A vegan diet contains only plant-based foods. People adopt veganism to avoid exploitation of animals.

Every year, The Vegan Society observes the World Vegan Day based on a specific theme.

However, the official theme for the World Vegan Day 2020 event hasn’t been decided yet. Also, themes of World Vegan Day are based on promoting and educating about veganism across the world. 

Perhaps one of the most common misunderstandings surrounding veganism is due to it being conflated with vegetarianism.The only commonality between the two is a shared avoidance of meat products. Both vegans and vegetarians categorically do not consume. However, the similarity ends here – to be vegan is to avoid all animal based products (meat is just one animal based product) – including dairy (milk, cheese, ghee, butter) and products like honey. This does not apply to vegetarians as many vegetarians in India have a heavy dairy inclusive diet.

Benefits of a Vegan diet:

It is said that a vegan diet is beneficial in keeping diseases like heart diseases, certain cancers, type two diabetes, arthritis and lung and kidney diseases at bay. Since a vegan diet is mainly plant-based, it is high in fiber and low in cholesterol. On World Vegan Day, vegan groups and practitioners organise workshops to highlight the importance of animal rights.

Each year there are a number of festivals and exhibitions held around the world by vegan societies. In addition, there are many local events, talks and cooking demonstrations organised by individuals.

According to a survey of election officials in all 50 states and Washington DC by CNN, Edison Research and Catalist, these votes represent about 43 per cent of the registered votes nationwide.
