🇮🇳 FACTS ABOUT INDIA 🇮🇳

Tawang is 10,000 ft above sea level, in Arunachal Pradesh. The name ‘Tawang’ derives from two words ‘Ta’ & ‘Wang’. ‘Ta’ means horse and ‘Wang’ means green pastures in local Monpa dialect. According to the local people interpretation in 17th century, a Tibetan monk called Mera Lama saw a strong & beautiful horse wandering in the valley. He got attracted & tried to capture it. But the horse disappeared & while searching for it, Lama found a place, which was very beautiful & soothing. He built a magnificent Buddhist Monastery at the location, now which very famous pilgrim Buddhism center. The town that developed around this Monastery was later called Tawang.

The British had declared this area as off-limits in 1873. The area around Tawang became a cause of disagreement between India and China, after India gained independence in 1947. The Chinese army invaded Tawang in 1962 but they later withdrew

😳WHY❓❓❓

Why eyes becomes Red…If we not have enough sleep…

It is called Bloodshot Eyes: . The eyes’ muscles need to recharge overnight, If they don’t get enough rest, Lack of sleep decreases oxygen that is available for the eyes; this causes blood vessels to dilate and give the appearance of being red or bloodshot.

Eyes need a constant supply of tears for optimum function, which is why blinking is so important. That fluid

cleans & renews the eyes-staying awake for an abnormal number of hours works.

🤔 HOW IT WORKS ⁉

How does a Fish See in the water

Fish have eyes similar to humans, but they also have protective film over their eyes so that they can see more clearly underwater. … Their eyes have rod & cone cells on their retinas, so we know that they can see color as well as in shades of grey, light and dark. All fish have some level of night vision, although some species like walleyes are much better than others at seeing in the dark. … Fish have these same chemicals and other chemicals in their eyes that allow them to see some ultra-violet frequencies as well. Fish don’t have eyelids — they don’t need them underwater because dust can’t get in their eyes. But fish still sleep.
