While the world is busy with its own things, Sankalp volunteers are busy in their own way. This time, by designing two new websites (Blood de India and Team red) having specific roles. Blood de India, is a website, which aims to have all the donors all over the country access one site for anything related to blood donation. This may include accessing for the information relating to blood donation, having all the details of the quality blood banks and other related information in one place. Team red, is another site for all volunteers from all organizations and institutions, where the blood donation drive occurs, to have a common platform for discussions of the same and other related issues. Both the websites are still under development and will be available for access soon.

India and space laws: A millennium perspective
India is a country with a diversity of languages. Out of more than one thousand mother tongues, only eighteen languages are included in the eighth schedule of the Indian Constitution. Development of a particular state or region, to a very great extent, depends on the development of its regional language. This was an important reason given at the time of the formation of linguistic states, though many criticized such a linguistic “division” or “re-organization”.

The Ancient Legend 
The All India Muslim League (AIML) was formed in Dhaka in 1906 by Muslims who were suspicious of the Hindu-majority Indian National Congress. They complained that Muslim members did not have the same rights as Hindu members. A number of different scenarios were proposed at various times. Among the first to make the demand for a separate state was the writer/philosopher Allama Iqbal, who, in his presidential address to the 1930 convention of the Muslim League said that a separate nation for Muslims was essential in an otherwise Hindu-dominated subcontinent.
