This Indian king was once the richest, had net worth of Rs 57901000000; was a modern reformer, name is..., not Hyderabad Nizam
Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV (File) There have been scores of uber-wealthy kings and queens in India's recent past who became famous across the globe because of their massive fortune, lavish lifestyles, opulent palaces filled to the brim with gold, diamonds and other rare jewels, and their fleet of Rolls-Royce cars. However, one name is often forgotten when looking at erstwhile Indian royalty, Maharaja Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV, an Indian ruler who was once the among the richest individuals on the planet, but is overlooked perhaps because unlike his peers, he used his wealth for social reforms instead of living an opulent lifestyle. Who was Maharaja Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV? Maharaja Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV, the son of Maharaja Chamarajendra Wadiyar X and Maharani Vani Vilas Sannidhana, was born on June 4, 1884, in the grand Mysore Palace, and ascended the royal throne at the tender age of 11 after the sudden demise of his father. His mother acted as the Queen Regent till Krishnaraja turned 18 in 1902. Growing up, Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV had an interesting education which had a mix of Western and Indian influences, covering English, Kannada, Sanskrit, and fine arts. His multicultural and reformist outlook shone through at an early age, with Lord Curzon, the then Governor-General of India predicting that Mysore would likely witness a golden age, with great strides in development under the young king's leadership, a prophecy which would later come true. How Wadiyar IV developed Mysore and worked for social upliftment? After taking the reins of the Mysore empire, Maharaja Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV began transforming transforming society and the upliftment of downtrodden classes. The young king banned age-old practices like untouchability and child marriage for girls under the age of 8. He also introduced scholarships for widows and allocated Rs 60 lakh annually, a huge sum at the time, from his personal coffers, to support disabled children. In 1915, Wadiyar IV established the Mysore Social Progress Association for the upliftment of underprivileged classes, and in 1918, invited Sir Lesley Miller to assess the conditions of backward classes, leading to a 25% reservation in government jobs for non-Brahmins, a policy which is was way ahead of its time. Beyond social reforms, Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV also worked for developing Mysore as a technological powerhouse, and soon the princely state became the first in Asia to generate hydroelectric power. The reformer king's efforts bore fruit when Bangalore (now Bengaluru) became the first full electrified city in Asia, earning him the moniker 'Krishnaraja Bhoopa, Mane Mane Deepa (the king who lit up every home). What reforms did Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV introduce to promote education? Additionally, Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV was a forward-thinking ruler who realized the value of good education and introduced several reforms, like making primary education compulsory to promote knowledge and learning. Under his rule, the education budget of Mysore had increased from Rs 6.9 lakh to Rs 46.8 lakh, with over 515,000 students enrolled in 8,000 schools in the princely state. Wadiyar also founded institutions that thrive to this day, including Mysore Sanskrit College, and also gifted 10 acres of land to Nobel Laureate Sir CV Raman for his research institute. He also donated 400 acres near Malleshwaram to industrialist Jamsetji Tata for establishing what is now known as the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). Maharaja Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV net worth Maharaja Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV was once among the richest men in the world, boasting a net worth of $400 million, which is equivalent to around $7 billion (about Rs 57901 crore), when adjusted for inflation, according to reports. Notably, in 1937, TIME magazine had crowned the Osman Ali Khan, the Nizam of Hyderabad as the wealthiest on the planet with an estimated net worth of $236 billion (Rs 19 lakh crore)

What is Great Hmong Food? Minneapolis to New York, here's answer to viral question
Hmong are a stateless indigenous group originally from China that has been persecuted for centuries, including after fighting for the United States in the Vietnam War. Restaurants in Minneapolis showcasing Hmong food represent an extremely rare occurrence in American culinary arts: the emergence of a cuisine virtually unknown outside its own immigrant community, stewarded by chefs trained in Western-style restaurant kitchens. Hmong Food Minneapolis There are similarities between Hmong cuisine and the food of Laos, Thailand and Vietnam, all countries where Hmong lived, usually in mountainous regions, after leaving China in large numbers in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Those familiar elements helped pave the way for Union Hmong Kitchen, the business Vang started as a pop-up restaurant in the late 2010s. Now food stalls under the same name attract lines at local professional sports stadiums and the Minnesota State Fair, for dishes like banh mi "brats," purple sticky rice and galabaos, the Hmong variation on steamed buns. Their popularity is juiced by the celebrity Vang achieved as a media personality, including as the host of two television series in which he probes the intersection of Hmong and American culture with a smile that rarely rests. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like War Thunder - Register now for free and play against over 75 Million real Players War Thunder Play Now Who are Hmong People?

Meet Zeus: The blind owl with the universe in his eyes
Owls are often called the epitome of wisdom in the animal kingdom, they are mysterious and majestic birds that have excellent night vision, sharp talons, and eerie, echoing calls. Most of these birds are solitary, shy hunters, gliding silently through forests or deserts after dark in search of prey. With their forward-facing eyes and rotating heads, owls have long been symbols of perfection and the wild unknown. But not all owls fit the mold of this classic nighttime predator. While most are elusive and wary of human contact, some rare individuals show us a softer, more personal side. One such extraordinary owl is Zeus, a blind Western screech owl who, instead of soaring through the night sky, now lives a calm and peaceful life beside a desk in Southern California. The owl with the universe in his eyes Zeus was discovered one morning on a front porch in Central California, injured and unable to fly. He had crashed into a house wall, and it quickly became clear something was wrong. According to Paul Hahn, founder of the Wildlife Learning Center in Sylmar, California, 'He was found emaciated and blind in front of someone's house in Central California'. After being brought to the Center, Zeus was examined by a veterinary ophthalmologist who diagnosed him with capsular cataracts, a condition that leaves his eyes flecked with white and shimmering patterns that look like stars. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo 'The white flecks that glisten in his eyes are caused by unique fibrin/blood pigment clots,' Hahn explained. 'These pigments cause a unique starry-eyed look, for which he is well known, hence the name Zeus', as per reports by the Bored Panda. He now lives in a protected centre Though he only has about 10% of his vision left and cannot survive in the wild, Zeus found a forever home at the Wildlife Learning Center. He now lives in a comfortable spot inside the center, perched in a hollowed trunk on top of Hahn's filing cabinet. 'Zeus exudes a very peaceful presence and is very calm. He has a very big personality and exhibits a bit of a curious nature,' Hahn said. Visitors are surprised when they see Zeus. 'Many other people see him but believe he is a stuffed animal because he is so calm and peaceful. When he wakes and opens his eyes, people gasp. We have had people almost in tears when he reveals his peepers,' said Hahn said to the Bored Panda. While he can no longer hunt like his wild cousins, Zeus plays another important role. 'It is really special that Zeus' disability is causing so many people to be aware and care for screech owls and our environment everywhere. He truly is an ambassador to his species,' Hahn shared. Zeus may not fly under the stars anymore, but with eyes like his, he carries the night sky with him.
