(1º§) The Maya are probably the best-known of the classical civilizations of Mesoamerica. Originating in the Yucatán around 2600 B.C., they rose to prominence around A.D. 250 in present-day southern Mexico, Guatemala, northern Belize and western Honduras. Building on the inherited inventions and ideas of earlier civilizations such as the Olmec, the Maya developed astronomy, calendrical systems and hieroglyphic writing. The Maya were noted as well for elaborate and highly decorated ceremonial architecture, including temple-pyramids, palaces and observatories, all built without metal tools. They were also skilled farmers, clearing large sections of tropical rain forest and, where groundwater was scarce, building sizeable underground reservoirs for the storage of rainwater. The Maya were equally skilled as weavers and potters, and cleared routes through jungles and swamps to foster extensive trade networks with distant peoples.


(2º§) Around 300 B.C., the Maya adopted a hierarchical system of government with rule by nobles and kings. This civilization developed into highly structured kingdoms during the Classic period, A.D. 200-900. Their society consisted of many independent states, each with a rural farming community and large urban sites built around ceremonial centres. It started to decline around A.D. 900 when - for reasons which are still largely a mystery - the southern Maya abandoned their cities. When the northern Maya were integrated into the Toltec society by A.D. 1200, the Maya dynasty finally came to a close, although some peripheral centres continued to thrive until the Spanish Conquest in the early sixteenth century.


(3º§) Maya history can be characterized as cycles of rise and fall: city-states rose in prominence and fell into decline, only to be replaced by others. It could also be described as one of continuity and change, guided by a religion that remains the foundation of their culture. For those who follow the ancient Maya traditions, the belief in the influence of the cosmos on human lives and the necessity of paying homage to the gods through rituals continues to find expression in a modern hybrid Christian-Maya faith.

A job among the stars


(1º§)Working on the ISS (International Space Station) is every astronaut´s dream. Life on board may sound glamorous to some people, but conditions can be uncomfortable and we have a demanding schedule - we work ten-hour days and have one and a half days off - although when you live in your office, it´s hard to separate on-duty and off-duty.

(2º§)Our tasks are quite varied - we do a range of scientific experiments - but we also have to perform routine maintenance and regular safety checks, like cleaning the air filter and inspecting our emergency equipment. We exercise twice a day - if you don´t, your muscles just disappear in the weightless conditions.

(3º§)Life is never dull, but you can feel lonely up here, away from friends and family. Work can also be stressful, so in my free time, I relax by writing and answering emails. I also love taking photos of the views from up here.

Politics of colour thrives in Hindi belt


(1º§) Uttar Pradesh's chief ministers are known to go into an overdrive to promote their party flags' colours. BSP's Mayawati painted Lucknow blue, SP's Akhilesh Yadav replaced it with a dash of green and red and now it's Yogi's turn to go saffron.

(2º§) Lucknow: As soon as you alight from a train or an aircraft in Lucknow, the first signage that greets you, says, "Muskuraiye ki aap Lucknow mein hain." The colour of this signage will also inform you about the party that is in power in Uttar Pradesh. Lucknow is, perhaps, the only state capital in the country where the politics of colour dominates the development projects of the city.

(3º§) The politics of colour was initially started by the Bahujan Samaj Party in 2007 when the party came to power with a comfortable majority on its own and blue become the dominant colour of official signages.

(4º§) Prof Ramesh Dixit, a retired professor in political sciences, explained the competition among parties to popularise their preferred party colour. "The parties that pursue politics of colour want their voters to identify with colours. This makes it easy for them to campaign with T-shirts and gamchas in the colours of their parties," he said. "The bureaucracy has played a major role in fuelling this colour politics. They are the ones who go into an overdrive to please their political bosses. They use this to justify the huge amounts of money spent in replacing signages and re-painting railings and gates," he said.

(5º§) For Ms Mayawati, the brain behind colour branding in politics, her election as chief minister was a time to go blue - the party's official and flag colour - with a vengeance. All road railings and signage were painted blue, traffic constables also got a change of uniform - white shirt and blue pants in place of an all white dress. Incidentally, the colour of traffic cops' has remained so since then. Under Mayawati's rule, the official phone directory also came with a blue cover and government hoardings had a blue background. The stages for all programmes attended by the then chief minister, were draped in blue.

(6º§) The BSP rallies were known for men painting their bodies in blue and carrying blue elephant replicas. When the Samajwadi Party came to power in 2012, the first decision taken by its chief minister Akhilesh Yadav was to change the colour of official signages to green. The blue colour flew off the railings and road dividers and an emphatic green replaced it. Stages for official events had bold red and green backdrop, and the official phone directory turned green.

(7º§) When the BJP came to power last year, chief minister Yogi Adityanath shunned the rival parties' colours and started the saffron revolution. Spotting the chief minister's penchant for all things saffron, the state bureaucracy went into an overdrive and got saffron curtains, saffron towels, saffron diaries, saffron hoardings and saffron flowers for government programmes and offices. State minister Siddhartha Nath Singh defended the saffron wave and said, "Saffron is a colour that denotes positivity. The rising sun is saffron in colour. What is the problem if we want to bring positivity into the government?"
