પટેલ સમાજનો ઈતિહાસ જાણો : કોણ અને ક્યાંથી આવ્યા હતા પાટીદારો

PATIDAR The  Patidar  are a  caste  found in the state of  Gujarat , India. They were formally recognized as a separate identity in the 1931 census of India, having previously been classified as  Kanbi . They are among the most studied of Indian castes and the process leading to their recognition is a paradigmatic example of the  invention of tradition  by social groups in India. પટેલ અથવા પાટીદાર અથવા કણબી એ ભારત દેશનાં પશ્ચિમ ભાગમાં આવેલા ગુજરાત રાજ્યની એક મુખ્ય જ્ઞાતિ છે. પટેલોમાં લેઉવા પટેલ અને કડવા પટેલ એમ બે પેટા જ્ઞાતિ છે. ઇતિહાસ તેઓ કુર્મઋષિનાં વંશજો હોવાનુ મનાય છે તેથી તેઓ શરૂઆતમાં કુર્મી તરીકે જ ઓળખાતા હતાં. ઇતિહાસકારોનાં મત અનુસાર પટેલો મધ્ય એશિયા માં આસુ નદી પાસે પામીર નામનાં ઉચ્ચ પ્રદેશમાં વસતા હતાં. ત્યાંથી એક સમુહે અફઘાનિસ્તાન માં થઈને હિન્દુકુશ પર્વતમાળા ઓળંગી ખૈબરઘાટનાં માર્ગે પંજાબ માં દાખલ થઈને વસવાટ કર્યો હતો તેમ કહેવાય છે. ભારત દેશમાં પંજાબના સપ્તસિંઘુ પ્રદેશ ‘લેયા’ પ્રદેશમાંથી આવેલા કૂર્મિ ક્ષત્રિયો લેઉઆ કહેવાય...

Python HTML Generator using Yattag Part 2

Python HTML Generator 5. Shortcut for nodes that contain only text If you're producing HTML or XML, you've probably realized that most tag nodes contain only text. In order to write these in a terser way, use the  line  method. doc, tag, text, line=Doc().ttl() with tag('ul', id='course'): line('li', 'BCA', klass="degree") line('li', 'BBA') line('li', 'BSW') You'll get: <ul id="course"> <li class="degree">BCA</li> <li>BBA</li> <li>BSW</li> </ul> Oh, I forgot to introduce the  ttl  method I just used in the example above. It works just like the  tagtext  method I've talked about in the beginning of the tutorial, but instead of returning the triplet  (doc, doc.tag, doc.text) , it returns the quadruplet  (doc, doc.tag, doc.text, doc.line) . 6. Indentation We've added indentation in the ...
