What is 'Order of Australia



As soon as Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard announced that she will honor Sachin Tendulkar with Order of Australia which is really huge achievement in Australia  a discussion started in the Indian continent. It is also big because a non-Australian citizen rarely gets Order of Australia.

Now, I was wondering about what exactly is order of Australia? After doing some research I came to know few interesting facts about Order of Australia.

Order of Australia is considered as the highest recognition for outstanding achievement in respective fields or services done to society or nation. The award is given in two categories:
1.       Civil Division
2.       Military Division

Sachin Tendulkar is going to receive the honor in Civil Division as Member of the Order (AM). A nineteen member committee considers the nomination. Any Australian citizen, group or community can nominate anyone for Order of Australia. The nineteen member council considers the merit of nomination and achievements of the nominated candidate in the respective field and then they award the honor.

The Battle of Longewala

After drifting for approximately thousand kilometers from Alwar, I have reached Longewala. This place romanticizes me allot. The battle of Longewala a legend in itself. It is located at 120 kms from city of Jaisalmer. Only way to reach this place is boulevard and if you are tourist then you have to hire a cab. Longewala is prevalent because of the illustrious skirmish tussled between India and Pakistan in 1971. The clash of Longewala is all about how hundred odd men clogged and overwhelmed approximately 2000 Pakistani legionnaires. This battle was all about the audacity, impetus, chauvinism and drive to prizefight exhibited by those eighty Indian warriors. This scuffle is one of my favorite scuffles, and whenever I come to this place, my mind start envisaging how horde of men repudiated the destiny. During the Indo-Pak war of 1971, A-Coy of 23 Punjab had taken up the defences at Longewala. The A-Coy company commander was Major Kuldeep Singh Chandpuri later on emer...
