                                                    Revolution History of the World
We read in history books that how many people struggle for their rights and struggle with unity. This is called Revolution, in early times people were ruled by a king so they didn’t have the important rights like Right to Freedom of Speech and Right to Religion. That time scientists were not free to express their views and experiments and if they did they were considered as blasphemy (against Religion) and were given death sentence. All these lead to Revolution.
Revolution for freedom of ideas:-
In 17th century the people of church predicted that Earth is a centre of cosmos and the other planets including sun are revolving around it, Earth is fixed on its position. The Italian scientist Galileo Galilee observed with his telescope that Earth and the other planets are revolving around the Sun. He discovered a very big event and he had the evidence; he knew that it was risky about mobilizing the discovery to people even that he launched a book on the discovery. Galileo’s book inspired many people and scientist but not the church. Galileo was given life sentence by the church on the charge of blasphemy but Galileo had already alarmed the people and led to the revolution. Later Galileo’s discovery was accepted.
After 100 years of Revolution an English Scientist named Edward Jenner was once a patient small pox in his childhood, at that time small pox was a common disease. To heal the disease he suffered a great pain, he was suffering the terror of healing than the disease. When he became a doctor he observed that the people living in villages didn’t have the small pox. So he made an experiment on a patient of small pox he took some puss from the patient of cow pox and added to the patient of small pox after a week the patient’s disease was cured. Edward Jenner called this discovery vaccination. Today small pox is an extinct disease. Hence revolution has changed the world.
Revolution in countries:-
In 17th century America was a British Colony, the British were raising tax on tea. America was in the terror of this taxation. An American politician Samuel Adams revolted against tea tax; he united the American workers and stormed at the ships of tea. The workers sank a trillion tone of tea and this led to American Revolution.
In late 17th century the king of France Louise 16th increased the tax on food grains which led to the French Revolution. After France was declared republic the king was ordered not to leave France but later he tried to escape but was unsuccessful. The king was sentenced to death.
The French’s business was on slavery. Many slaves from different countries were forced to work for free. The slaves didn’t like the system and revolted against it after 50 years France abolished slavery
.
Everyone in this world has struggled for his rights and freedom and has made history.

Today, Cricket is the most famous game of the country everyone leaves everything and watches Cricket on television. This game has inspired many people but what makes Cricket so unique what makes Cricket so popular in the country.

The whole story starts from the 18th century when the game of cricket was formed in England. That time this game was played as a stick and ball game. The bat was in the shape of an ice hockey stick and the ball was bowled underarm. The match was of 3 days and still ended in a draw. It is a unique game as it has no time limit the match was of 3 days and still ended in draw.

Finally in 1744 the first written law of cricket was made. In these rules there were two stumps, the length of game was three days and the field was specified to 22 yards. The game was played in public places of London. The first Cricket club was formed in Hambledon

Then in late 18th century the rules of cricket were revised there were:-

1.       The first leg-before law was published

2.       Third stump became common and its length and the bails length was specified

3.       Running between wickets become legal

4.       The bat was changed to a straight

5.       The ball was thrown overarm

These rules changed the whole game of cricket.

Cricket on caste and religion:-

The most shocking fact of this game was that the cricket was played on the basis of caste and religion. In England there were two teams. One team who was rich and played the game for pleasure not for earning money was called amateurs (gentleman). That team who played it for earning money was called professionals. Only white people could play the game no black people were allowed to play the game.

Spread of Cricket:-

At that time Cricket was a colonial game so I could spread to the British colonies like West Indies and India. The other countries didn’t accept the game as it was a British colonial game and those countries were not the colonies of British.

Spread of cricket in India:-

When India was a colony of British, the British spread its games to India. The people of India were not allowed to play the game. The Cricket clubs in India were called Gymkhanas. The first club of India lead by the British was the Bombay Gymkhana.
