of the Vedanta (literally, end or the goal of Knowledge, Sanskrit)\r\nschool of Hindu philosophy, the other major subschools of Vedanta being\r\nAdvaita, Dvaita, and Achintya-Bheda-Abheda. VishishtAdvaita (literally “Advaita\r\nwith uniqueness/qualifications”) is a non-dualistic school of Vedanta\r\nphilosophy. Ramanuja, the main proponent of Visishtadvaita philosophy contends\r\nthat the Prasthana Traya (‘The three courses”) i.e. Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita,\r\nand Brahma Sutras are to be interpreted in way that shows this unity in\r\ndiversity, for any other way would violate their consistency.
113. (3) The\r\nGrand Trunk Road is one of South Asia’s, oldest and longest major roads.

114.

After the removal of\r\ninternational restrictions by the Charter of 1813, Indian trade expanded\r\nsubstantially and over the long term showed an upward trend. The result was a\r\nsignificant transfer of capital from India to England, which, due to the\r\ncolonial policies of the British, led to a massive drain of revenue rather than\r\nany systematic effort at modernisation of the domestic economy
