Here
is an expanded and newly transferred version of Merv's interview with Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. We recently discovered the lost master tape of this
show and we've had it newly transferred. This is stunning quality compared to
what we had earlier and we're thrilled to have found the original master and
that this important piece of American history is now preserved in pristine
condition. Kudos to DC Video in L.A. for their stellar work. In this segment
Dr. King shares with Merv his take on the then-current state of the Civil
Rights movement in America. Merv Griffin had over 5000 guests appear on his
show from 1963-1986. Footage from the Merv Griffin Show is available for
licensing to all forms of media through Reelin' In The Years Productions.

A
3.5+ hour tour of New York City (NYC), focusing on the borough of Manhattan,
the city’s historic birthplace, economic and administrative center as well as
the most densely populated of the 5 boroughs that make up NYC.
In
this video we are going to highlight Valid Scientific Data from the United
States, Europe and Asia that is now associating Vitamin D Deficiency with more
severe and critical Covid 19 Clinical Outcomes.
The
Bottom Line… Vitamin D should be a vital go to weapon in our COVID-19 frontline
defenses today. And every public health official should be recommending it!
Healthcare
practitioner death rates of darker skinned ethnicities in the UK are so
alarming that it prompted the “The
British Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (BAPIO) to write to the NHS
leaders over ongoing concerns about the disproportionately high mortality rates
among black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds (BAME) healthcare staff.”
The
Letter goes on to request that the NHS offer an advisory memorandum to all BAME
healthcare staff that “Vitamin D replacement in doses that would address any
underlying D3 deficiency is recommended”
Researchers
from Europe, Asia and the United States are now associating vitamin D
deficiency with server clinical Covid-19 outcomes especially the elderly, black
populations, and in those with comorbidities.
Daily
doses of Vitamin D should be considered by everyone as a simple and effective
measure to help protect against the severity of the Covid Virus.
A
URGENT CALL TO ACTION is necessary for public health officials to recommended
and extend vitamin D supplementation strategies to the general population
regardless of race and comorbidities!

COVID-19
’ICU’ risk – 20-fold greater in the Vitamin D Deficient. BAME, African
Americans, the Older, Institutionalized and Obese, are at greatest risk. Sun
and ‘D’-supplementation – Game-changers? Research urgently required.

you interested in learning more about your own Vitamin D Serum Levels and
Vitamin D's role in Health? You can safely test at home as part of an
international D*action project. Make sure your vitamin D serum levels are
between 40-60 ng/ml (100-150 nmol/L) as recommended by a group of 48 vitamin D
researchers.

The
Indian Rebellion of 1857 was a major, but ultimately unsuccessful, uprising in
India from 1857 –58 against the rule of the British East India Company
Sepoy
Mutiny, the Indian Mutiny, the Great Rebellion, the Revolt of 1857, the Indian
Insurrection, and India's First War of Independence.
Causes
of the Revolt:
a.
Political Causes: Lord Dalhousie was the Governor-General of India till
1848-1856. Dalhousie through his policies had added considerable territories to
the British Empire in India.The policy of annexation reached its climax when he
implemented the policy of Doctrine of Lapse and annexed the Indian states on
charges of miss-governance and absence of an heir. Dalhousie annexed Satara
(1848), Sambhalpur (1850), Jhansi (1853), Nagpur (1853), Jaipur (1849).
As
part of the Doctrine of Lapse policy, the titles and pensions of some Indian
princes were confiscated.
b.
Economic Causes:The British exploited the economic resources of India to their
advantage. India turned into a colonial economy to serve the British capitalist
interests.
Heavy
taxation, evictions, discriminatory tariff policy against Indian products and
destruction of traditional handicrafts that hit peasants, artisans and small
zamindars.
c.
Social and Religious Causes:The social legislations on the evils as sati,
infanticide, re-marriage of widows, etc. The introduction of English education,
the propagation of the work of the Christian missionaries
d.
Military Causes:The high ranks in the army were exclusively reserved for the
Englishmen
The
immediate cause of the revolt was the introduction of the new Enfield rifle and
the greased cartridge. In loading the rifle the sepoy before inserting the
cartridge had to bite off its top.
Mangal
Pandey on 29th March 1857, killed senior officers on parade and started the
revolt.
Course
and Spread of the Revolt:
The
revolt spread to Berhampur in Bengal. On 24th April 1857 about ninety men of
the Native Cavalry stationed at Meerut refused to accept the greased
cartridges. On 10th May the revolt started at Meerut and the mutineers after
killing some of their officials marched towards Delhi.
Delhi:
On 12th May Delhi was seized and Bahadur Shah II was proclaimed the emperor of
India.
Kanpur:
Here the revolt was led by Nana Saheb who declared himself the Peshwa and
governor of Bahadur Shah. Tantya Tope did most of the fighting.
Lucknow:
The revolt was led by Hazrat Mahal, the Begum of Awadh
Jhansi.After
some initial vacillations, Rani Laxmi Bai assumed the leadership of the mutiny.
Bareilly:
Khan Bahadur Khan proclaimed himself as the Nawab and led the revolt there. The
other centers of the revolt were Banaras, Allahabad, Gwalior, and Nasirabad in
Rajputana, Indore, Aligarh and Kota.
At
all these places the sepoys killed the senior officers and other Europeans, in
many cases not even sparing women and children
However
the superior British forces soon suppressed the revolt. Bahadur Shah II proved
to be a weak leader 20th September 1857 by John Nicholson. Bahadur Shah was
arrested and deported to Rangoon where he died in 1862.
The
rebels were defeated by General Havelock in Kanpur. At Jhansi Hugh Rose
suppressed the revolt and Rani Laxmi Bai died on the battle field.
Benaras,
Bareilly and Gwalior were also recaptured by British officers.
Causes
of the Failure:
•
The revolt was highly localized and restricted to North India.
•
Scindia of Gwalior, the Holkar of Indore, the Nizam of Hyderabad, the Raja of
Jodhpur, the Nawab of Bhopal, the rulers of Patiala, Sindh and Kashmir and the
Rana of Nepal provided active support to the British.
•
The rebels lacked a common cause and had different goals.
Nature
of the Revolt: Some call it a sepoy mutiny since the initial thrust of the
revolt in the form of the cartridge episode was given by the soldiers.
Nationalists
as V.D. Savarkar opine that the revolt was the first war of independence. They
feel that the revolt sparked off the discontent of the Indians towards the
foreign rule and Hindus and Muslims participated equally in the revolt and
displayed a new bond of unity against the British.
Impact
of the Revolt:
(a)
Policy Change:
The
Queen’s Proclamation of November 1858 announced the policy of the British
government to be followed from now on in IndiaThe right of a ruler to adopt a
child in the absence of a natural heir was accepted.
(b)
Administrative Changes:January 1st 1877 Queen Victoria was proclaimed as the
Queen Empress of India and the administration of India was transferred from the
East India Company to the British Crown.
(c)
Reorganization of the Army:The army was re-organized to strengthen British
control over the country and avert any further rebellions in future.
(d)
Communal and Racial Bitterness:The revolt of 1857 created a big gap between the
different religious communities especially the Hindus and the Muslims as each
blamed the other for its failure.

Beginning
in the Sikh holy city, Michael is dazzled by the beauty of the Golden Temple
and awed by the scale of its langar - the world's largest free kitchen. His
route then takes him through the Punjab, India's breadbasket. Michael samples
traditional chapattis, has a colourful kurta made up in one of the Punjab's
biggest cloth markets, and can't resist the foot-tapping rhythms of Punjabi
bhangra dancing, made famous by Bollywood. At Kalka, Michael glimpses the
Himalayas for the first time and joins the 1906-built mountain railway for a
stunning climb to Shimla.
