Why does Indians like the foreign rule from the rig Vedic Period to the Independence Day of 14th August's mid night, 1947 by leaving small period of self rule?

While reading rig Veda, I keep the basic points in my mind to find some necessary references useful to formulate the history of Indian model, alternatively to the conditions contributed to the human race from the animal spice in central-afro region as a searching key in one hand, the other book rig-Veda–a historical analysis written by Shrikant. G. Talagery, on the other hand. At the same time the references of the hymns for usage of the rig Veda I used is translated by Ralph. T.H. Griffith.

Searching key points are as follows.
 

1. Was the sapta sindhu or central Indian region as stated in Rig-Veda African like climate for the apes and mammals to form the human race independently?

2. Were the thick forest, rivers and hilly region, to have the first generation of human race?

3. Was the first generation of human race, (as it not seen the case of single individual antiquity of man what I see in the various findings) lived social life in both areas forests and dens according to the seasons.

4. How had the human race developed either through the same African pattern of hunting, fishing, bringing the flesh to the dens, storing it for future, or through the different model of living

5. How was the entire society prior to the emergence of rig Vedic hymns?

6. What was the reason motivated to the first generation of composers of the Rig-Veda?

7. Were the rig Vedic hymns passing from generation to generation orally till the emergence of the Devanagari, Pali and Sanskrit language or nagari scripts?

8. Why did the not write they same hymns in Indic, and proto-indo European Languages, if these hymns were passing from generation to generation in oral method?

9. What extent the rig Veda is useful in finding the real factors of the ancient Indian society as to identify the tribes of the first generation of Indian origin,

10. How did the blood relations emerge in rig Veda out of male-female' sexual relations  as forbidden without experiencing the adverse affect in the family relations among father, mother, daughter, sister, and brother as one unit of the family?

11. Which language has the relative link between Indus and Devanagari to fill the gap in the ancient Indian history?

12. The Aryan invasion theory is myth or real but the real content still looks unresolved on the conflicting civilizations within the sphere of its broader reach to nationalism from its very little spark of the fire with a bunch of people whoever was in their early time of starting of their NEW act in the ancient habitations of the Indian sub continent.

13. The Aryan or anaryan but the invasion from within one of the habitations with brand NEWNESS is indelible from the Indian history whoever is not a question but whatever they were from within is still answerable to the Indian people.

14. The first of the first hymn of the first book, of ten books of Rig-Veda, initiated under the NEW practice, in night and day from the isolated place hidden with a small bunch of people unknown to the natives, whose origin is still untraceable, in the large parts of Indian sub continent. And their traces of such NEW NESS in the ancient habitations are important to the Indian history. The dark portions of the white people and the white paper like parts of the people whose contributions are buried under the loudly praising voice to Agni and Indra have to be known to the world.

The model who describes fashion as being in the most 'comfortable state' also believes that fashion is not about going over the top. Preeti Dhata is one lass who maintains a style statement that is edgy but yet colourful. Like any other bubbly girl, she also loves to go for movies, read books and indulges in gossip every now and then! Arguably the next big thing in the world of modelling, she gets candid in conversation with Stylekandy.com. 

Your early days. It all started with a metro ride, I was travelling by the metro and met a photographer who told me that I could make a career in modelling. I took it as a joke but I think that incident triggered it all. Best thing about being a model? Without any doubts, it has to be the travelling! It's a lot of fun hanging out with other models in a different city. In addition to that, we are in a field of fashion which is ever changing so I never bored.

Your style statement….Edgy yet colourful, I like short sweet dresses. But at the same time I have a good collection of various kinds of pants that I like to team up with funky shirts and gladiators or heels in footwear. I like things that are not too bizarre, but they should not be too boring also… Your fitness regime…Like many models, I'm not that blessed with a perfect figure, so I do have to maintain a lot. In order to stay in shape, I always try to follow a good and nutritious diet, and hit the gym 2-3 times a week.

Your beauty secret…I think using good skin products that suits your skin type and a good diet is every model´s beauty secret and mine is no different. What appeals to you more – walking the ramp or posing for print ads? They both are very different from each other but I like print, it gains more points because these days the shoots are not simple, they are very creative, thematic and challenging.

Do you agree that models are used as a hanger? This holds true only if models choose to be used as hangers. In my case, I don't think I am used as a mere hanger. Do you think that the Indian modelling industry has grown from past few years? The credit goes to whom? Fashion fraternity has really worked hard in bringing the industry to the position where it is now. Our designers have shown in Paris Fashion Week recently and have brought Indian fashion to international limelight. 

I think they are the major contributors to the immense growth that our industry has witnessed. Carrying the right look or the right attitude – Choose. I will go for both. It's like you cannot survive, if you lack either of them. It is most important to have an attitude that sets you apart from any other good looking face. Your favourite designer…Internationally, I love Karl Lager feld, Marc Jacobs… there are too many. Among the Indian designers.

I like Gaurav Gupta, Rohit Bal, Tarun Tahiliani, Savio Jon…it's so hard to name just one. Your take on foreign models getting preferences in the Indian fashion weeks? Ah…I would say it totally depends on the look of the season. If designers feel that foreign models will fit into their theme, then it's totally their decision. Yeah…but I would like it if we get to see more Indian faces on ramp.

How do you cope with all the pressure and competition? I just do my work, focus on it rather than thinking about the competition. Tell us something, which most people don't know about? I have a secret crush on Milind Soman! (well, don't all girls do?) What next for you after modeling? Don't know yet, still have not thought about it. But I'm sure that it will not be something boring for me.

Are you one of the people who dream of becoming a successful Indian model? Are you the one who fantasizes about becoming one of the hottest Indian models? Then this article is just for you.

Here are some important tips direct from the experts in the industry.

Most of the aspiring models see Moddeling as a glamorous profession, though it is, but along with the glitzy glamour comes the hard work. Yes, this showbiz involves a high amount of hard work if you really want to be a successful Indian model. At times, it is tedious and filled with rejection followed by ups and downs. It's not your 9-5 job, but a lifestyle that you live for your whole career. 

Keep one thing in mind that unless you are not fully dedicated to modelling, willing to work hard, wish to live a healthy life style….then you will not succeed. There are thousands of people in India who dream of becoming am model and they do everything they can to make their dream come true. So, first decide by asking yourself that will you put your energy and time for competing with thousands of other aspirants, 16 or 18 hrs a day?

You need to have great stamina, patience, aptitude, good interpersonal skills, excellent communication skills and self-confidence. People who are short should not even think of becoming a model, as it requires a tall body and slender body to be am model. You need to be attractive enough to turn heads. If you have these things inside you, then yes you can proceed with your dream. The profession of Modelling is fun exciting, and also adventurous. But, make sure you maintain realistic expectations as the chances of becoming a successful Indian model are not the same for everyone. Only a few names reach the top like Milind Soman, Arjun Rampal, John Abraham, Madhu Saprey, Bipasha Basu and a few more.

The Measurements -

The ideal measurements for female Indian models are 5'9", 34b x 24" x 34". If you find yourself within one inch of these parameters, then you have crossed half of the journey very well.  The fashion models are generally 5'7" to 6' height. These models are not necessarily beautiful, but one MUST have a well proportioned figure. It is highly important to give the exact measurements to the modeling agency, so you do not have to face a problem like the ‘clothes don't fit’ only as you gave the wrong information. For the male Indian models, the heights should be between 5'11" to 6'2" and the chest size should be between 40” to 42".

Further, send your pictures and resume to reputed modelling co-ordinators. You need to set-up appointments with them. Be punctual as these people are very busy. They will asses you and will tell you the whether you have it in you o not on the spot. If they reject you, do not give up yet. Each modeling agency is different, so always ask for any immediate changes (haircut, dental work, weight loss, skin treatment etc.) to work on it. And some coordinators and even former models offer training for fashion shows and print media. So, you can get trained through them easily.

If you get selected, then understand the further story. The modeling agencies make a commission on the model’s fee (15 to 20%). Be aware of some agencies that ask for money up front! Any reputed agency won’t do this. The coordinator or agency will introduce you with few photographers. It's totally up to you who you choose and pay the fee to the photographer not to the agency/coordinator. When you are given an assignment, keep copies of the papers like contracts. In future, you may need them in case you have a dispute. So, it is really wise to choose only the reputed agency or model coordinator very carefully, it will benefit you for long term career with them. Indian models that constantly change their agencies get a flighty and unprofessional reputation as a result. So refrain from this as much as possible.

Best of luck for your Indian Model Career
