This is a sample wiki page on how to write topics of social science and science in Wiki platform. Only the basics are included in the discussion. As one goes on creating own article, s/he learns other tips of developing articles for Wiki. Wikipedia has been created by more than 86 crore of people round the world and viewed by more than that. One can contribute articles, edit articles of others. More interestingly people can learn on their own--i.e. it is a self learning platform.

Majuli, Baisnavism and Science

[edit]

Majuli is the bigest river Island in India. It is the central point of Baisnavite Culture of Assam introduced by the Great Srimanta Sankardev[1]. It is mainly famous for Baisnavite Satras. When Assam was in the darkness of knowledge, Srimanta SankarDev started Ek Nam Saran Dharma which emphasised on praying to the only one God to achieve Absolute peace.[1] As a result of religious and cultural activities in the island, the people are very close to the nature and despite all odds like flood and erosion they live happily with the nature. It is also observed that Majuli has produced some world class scientists and social scientists. The particular Satra culture has lots of science intrinsic to it. The physical and mental health of each and every person is at the top. One cannot find a beggar or handicapped person in Majuli. Therefore, it is very important to understand this Satra culture and Baisnavism which has contributed to the society so much.

With the blessings of mighty Brahmaputra, Majuli is home for many wild animals and birds. Elephants and rhinos enter Majuli from Kaziranga. Moreover, it is a home for migratory birds from Himalayan foot hills.

The Culture

[edit]

Newton's Laws of Motion anad Scoiety

[edit]

First Law

[edit]

First law of motion states that an object continues to be in it's initial state of rest or of motion unless an external force is applied.

Second Law

[edit]

The acceleration of an object is proportional to the force applied on the object.
If an object is accelerated by due to application of a force then
where is small displacement taken place in small duration of time and thus is the velocity and is the rate of change of velocity i.e. accelleration.
This simple equation tells us many things. Without any force objects will be in the same state of either motion or rest. The natural tendency of being in the same state of rest or motion is called inertia. In the same way, we have inertia in any society. We don not want to change our habits without force from outside. On the other hand a sufficient amount of force is required to bring an object to motion or to rest because of such inertia. Foe example a moving cycle moves on even after stopping cycling by the rider. The brakes are to be sufficiently applied to bring the cycle in to rest depending on the road conditions other factors like wind. Similarly any social change is first resists by the society because the society wants to be in the same state. Sufficient initiatives are required to occur the change..[2]

Third Law

[edit]

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
This is not only quote by people from science but by across different disciples and probably the law of science well understood by any person.
