  अध्याय: मनुष्यता लेखक: प्रेमचंद कक्षा: 10वीं (क्षितिज भाग 2) 📌 पाठ का सारांश : यह कहानी एक ऐसे फ़क़ीर (साधु) की है जो बिना किसी भेदभाव के सेवा करता है। एक बार वह रास्ते में घायल पड़े एक इंसान को उठाकर अपने झोपड़े में ले आता है और उसकी सेवा करता है। जब उसे पता चलता है कि वह आदमी उसी जाति या धर्म का नहीं है, तब भी वह सेवा करता रहता है। कहानी में दिखाया गया है कि सच्ची मनुष्यता क्या होती है — इंसानियत न तो धर्म देखती है, न जात-पात, न अमीर-गरीब। 🌟 मुख्य बिंदु : सेवा का भाव – फ़क़ीर ने बिना किसी स्वार्थ के सेवा की। धर्म से ऊपर इंसानियत – उसने यह नहीं देखा कि घायल व्यक्ति किस धर्म का है। पाखंड का विरोध – लेखक ने दिखाया कि समाज में धर्म और जाति के नाम पर भेदभाव होता है, जबकि असली धर्म "मनुष्यता" है। उपदेशात्मक शैली – प्रेमचंद ने कहानी के माध्यम से समाज को एक संदेश दिया है। 🧠 प्रमुख शिक्षाएँ : धर्म से बड़ा कुछ है तो वह है इंसानियत। ज़रूरतमंद की मदद करना ही सबसे बड़ा धर्म है। समाज में भेदभाव मिटाकर सभी को बराबर समझना चाहिए। 💬 महत्वपूर्ण प्रश्न-उत्तर...

📘 Basic Economics Notes 1. Definition of Economics Economics is the study of how people allocate limited resources to satisfy unlimited wants. Two main branches: Microeconomics – Study of individual markets, consumers, and firms. Macroeconomics – Study of the economy as a whole (GDP, inflation, unemployment, etc.). 💸 Basic Economic Concepts 2. Scarcity Resources (land, labor, capital) are limited.

  🌿 Biology Notes – Photosynthesis (Detailed) 📌 1. Introduction Photosynthesis is one of the most essential biological processes on Earth. It is the method by which green plants, algae, and certain bacteria use sunlight to synthesize food from carbon dioxide and water. This process not only provides energy for the plant itself but also forms the foundation of the food chain and produces the oxygen we breathe. 🌞 2. Definition Photosynthesis is the process through which autotrophic organisms (like green plants) convert light energy, usually from the sun, into chemical energy in the form of glucose (a type of sugar). This process takes place primarily in the chloroplasts of plant cells. ⚛️ 3. General Equation of Photosynthesis 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + \text{light energy} \xrightarrow{\text{chlorophyll}} C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2 CO₂ (carbon dioxide) comes from the atmosphere. H₂O (water) is absorbed by the roots from the soil. Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight. C₆H₁₂O₆ (glucose) ...

    The Lantern of Eldervale In the ancient village of Eldervale, nestled between thick forests and snow-capped mountains, there lived a girl named Liora. She was seventeen, quiet, and curious—a weaver's daughter who spent her days spinning silk and her nights reading old books by candlelight. Her mother had died when she was a baby, and her father—though kind—spoke little about the past. Eldervale was a peaceful place, but it carried a strange legend. Every century, on the first night of winter, a lantern would light itself atop the ruined watchtower at the edge of the forest. No one dared approach it, for the last time someone tried, they vanished without a trace. The village elders believed it was a curse—a remnant from the old kingdom that once ruled these lands. But Liora didn’t believe in curses. She believed in secrets, in hidden truths. On the eve of her eighteenth birthday, the lantern lit again. That night, Liora stood at the edge of the forest, her breath formi...
