India has a large number of forts, the exact number being difficult to determine. Most of the structures named forts in India are actually fortresses[1][1][1][1] but are nevertheless called forts due to British nomenclature.Many fortifications in India are suffixed with the words durga, gad, garh, qila, kota etc, which denotes fort. As such, the places with such names will not be succeeded by the word fort in the list that follows.This answer is largely dependent on List of forts in India - WikipediaI don’t claim exhaustiveness of this list.TL;DR versionArunachal Pradesh→ Ita Fort [Source: File:Ita Fort 01.JPG - Wikipedia]Ita Fort (Brick Fort)[2]in Itanagar, Papum Pare district → lent Itanagar its nameBhismaknagar Fort[3] in Lower Dibang Valley districtAndhra Pradesh→ Gooty Fort [Source: File:Gooty Fort.JPG - Wikipedia]Bobbili Fort[4] in Vizianagaram districtVizianagaram Fort[5] in Vizianagaram, Vizianagaram districtKondapalli Kota[6] in Krishna districtKondaveedu Fort[7] in Guntur districtUdayagiri Fort[8] in Nellore districtChandragiri Fort[9] in Tirupati, Chittoor districtGurramkonda Fort[10] in Chittoor districtChennampalli Fort[11] in Kurnool districtKondareddy Buruju[12] in Kurnool districtRavadurg/Gooty Fort[13] in Anantapur districtAssamGarchuk Lachit Garh[14] in GuwahatiKareng[15] in Gargaon, Sivasagar districtBiharBuxar Fort[16] in Buxar, Buxar districtRam Bagh Fort a.k.a.

I live in the far East for more than 36 years. I had to visit all the major cities of East Russia. All cities are characterized by their European appearance and says nothing about the peculiarities of living in areas characterized by harsh winters, hot summers and regular impact of typhoons, which are caused by proximity to the Pacific ocean. Not every person is ready to live in an area where you have constantly to withstand the harsh environment and difficult weather conditions. If we talk about forests, it is impassable taiga with dangerous predators and lots of mosquitoes. We even mountains are called hills. In Primorsky Krai in the forest roam freely Amur tigers. For information, these tigers twice the usual Bengali. I saw these animals in the forest in winter. Trail one tiger paws on the snow more than the cap of an adult male. In Khabarovsk, the tigers do not appear, but bears sometimes wander into the outskirts of cities. As we sometimes joke, the "difficult first 20 years and then get used to everything..."Development of the Far East first of all prevents its remoteness from the Western part of Russia. You will not believe it, but we shared 7 time zones and the distance from Moscow to Khabarovsk is more than 6 thousand kilometers in a straight line. On a plane to fly about 9 hours or by train in 7 days.Regardless that the far East is a very important part of Russia. I'm not talking about seafood, which are sold worldwide. The vast forest resources allow us to deliver very valuable wood. Total forest area is just under five million square kilometers. Among the main valuable timber species secrete Ayan spruce, fir and Korean, the Daurian larch . Also on the territory of the Khabarovsk and Primorsky Krai distributed the Korean pine, the wood of which is easily treatable.Ash wood is widely used in engineering and shipbuilding and is used for the production of high quality plywood.Among the trees that occupy a small area but play a significant role in the economy, the Amur velvet. Wood iron birch and yellow birch is used for making weaving shuttles. The wood is white birch trees well suited for the production of plywood and furniture. The far East is one of the largest forest regions of the Russian Federation (22.3% of the total forest Fund).In the far Eastern Federal district mined: diamonds, gold, rare earth metals, oil, gas and coal. Due to the unique location in the contact zone of lithospheric plates, virtually the entire territory of the district is covered with mountain ranges and volcanoes. The plain is only a small part. Therefore, the subsoil of this area is rich in mercury, lead, zinc and gold. The number of metal deposits discovered in the area – 659. These include uranium and iron ore, tin, zinc, lead and others.By the way, on many indicators of American, Alaska is in almost the same conditions. Why don't you ask questions about the development of Alaska? Or the US until there is no money for such expensive projects?The Russian government is in process of forces and opportunities is working on the development of these rich lands. Regularly held in Vladivostok economic forums. So V Eastern economic forum will be held from 4 to 6 September 2019 at the site of the far Eastern Federal University campus in Vladivostok, on island Russian.The economic program of the traditionally formed blocks: international business, economic regimes and the quality of life. In 2019 there will be four blocks, and each of the participants of the forum will offer practical solutions of certain problems. For example, in the "New solutions for accelerating growth" experts will present the mechanisms that will increase the growth rate of the economy of the Far East until 2025. Naturally, we also raised the issue of quality of life in the macro-region, but through the prism of the economy: the attraction of investors, improvement of laws on territories of priority development and free port of Vladivostok. By the way, according to the latest data from the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East, more than 1,700 residents have already “come” to the Far East under the existing economic regimes in the region. The total investment now amounts to $ 60 billion. Already implemented 230 projects, invested more than $ 6 billion, created more than 25 thousand jobs.Another block - “New solutions to improve the quality of life” - will be devoted to the topic of social development of the Far East. The main theme of all sections of this module will be the development of healthcare, education, housing and communal services and the urban environment, as well as mechanisms for improving the labor market in the Far East.The owners of the "Far Eastern hectare" will present their products at WEF-2019- Today, the WEF is one of the instruments for the development of the Russian Far East. Discussions in the framework of the business program contribute to the economic, technological and social development of the region, as well as improving the quality of life in the Far East.SummitTraditionally, the WEF has become a platform for dialogue between countries. In September, businessmen from Russia, China, Japan, India, and the Republic of Korea will meet in Vladivostok. Separate business dialogues are dedicated to each country. This practice allows you to consider in detail the existing difficulties in the relationship. This is crucial in order to build effective work.It is already known that the Prime Minister of India, Narenda Modi, will come to discuss the interaction between the countries in the capital of the Far East.In addition, the Russian-Chinese media forum, the high-level Intergovernmental Russian-Singaporean Commission, and the conference “The Common Economic Space from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean” will also be held on the sidelines of the WEF-2019.Each year, the geography of the forum participants expands: delegations from countries located far beyond the Asia-Pacific region seek to take part in a significant international meeting. So, in 2019, the delegation of Iceland will come to the WEF for the first time. Representatives of the northern state, in the first place, will be interesting to Kamchatka: geothermal sources of the Russian peninsula can bring the region’s heat power to a new level.The answer to the question of why Iceland was chosen for cooperation on the energy issue for Kamchatka is obvious. These regions combine similar climatic conditions, a small population, the need for the construction of earthquake-resistant houses. Additionally, the Russian authorities want to draw on Iceland's experience in attracting human capital.Here are just briefly Russia's plans for the coming years for the development of the Far East.

First, let’s briefly look at the arguments, pro and con.Con-Electoral College(1) It doesn’t protect smaller States(2) Popular vote wouldn’t mean a few States would elect the President(3) Popular vote wouldn’t be tyranny of the majority(4) The Electoral College is tyranny of the minority(5) The Presidential nominees only visit swing States(6) The “we are a republic and not a democracy” is a bad argument(7) The Electoral College is old and outdatedPro-Electoral College(1) The founders were always concerned about direct democracy and tyranny of the majority.(2) As a Federal Republic, States need to have an individual say.(3) The Constitution says nothing about how States implement the Electoral Vote. Take Maine and Nebraska, everyone could do the same if they wanted.(4) We are electing a President, not a Prime Minister and we do not have a parliamentary system.(5) W/out the Electoral College, 50.1% would dictate what the other 49.9% can and can’t do, which is far worse than the faults of the Electoral College(6) 325 million people, estimated 245 million 18 or older (eligible to vote), 210 million registered voters (approximately), 134 million actually voted in 2016, roughly 20% voted for Clinton and 19% voted for Trump. Those 20%/19% simply can’t speak for the rest of the population.Those are but a few of the more popular reasons each side claims they are correct.My OpinionI’m not in favor of eliminating the Electoral College because I understand the dangers of direct democracy.However, what the Electoral College is today, what it has become, is not the way it was intended to work.To understand the Electoral College, you need to understand how the entire system was designed to work.The Senate was to be comprised of 2 Senators from each State, elected by the State’s legislators. The purpose of the Senate was to represent the States. The Senate has the power to remove an official from office, nominate officials, approve treaties and start investigations (very important).The House was to be comprised of Representatives from each State elected by the people. Each elected official represented a district and each State has districts based on population. California would have 53 Representatives and Alaska would have one. In fact, seven of the 50 States only have one Representative. Currently, California has 12% of the seats in the House while Alaska has .2%. The House has the power to introduce appropriation bills, impeachment proceedings (but not removal), and to elect the President if nobody reaches 270.During a Presidential election, each Electoral Vote represented a district and each Elector would vote based on their district. The two Electoral Votes representing each Senator would vote based on State Legislators.But what exists today doesn’t look anything like its original intent.Thanks to the 17th Amendment, beginning in 1913, Senators are now elected by popular vote defeating the entire purpose of representing the States.We now have both the Senate and the House elected by the people and we have a “winner take all” Electoral system where if a candidate wins a State, they get all of the Electoral Votes (Except Maine and Nebraska which both a Congressional District method similar to the original intent).As a comparison, under the origin intent of the Electoral College, in 2016 a State such as California would have had an Electoral Vote of 48–7 for Hillary, with Trump picking up 7 Electoral Votes. Texas would have had an Electoral Vote of 23-13 for Trump, with Hillary picking up 13 Electoral Votes.If you look at the entire nation and if you had the Electors vote based on district, it would have been 230–205 in favor of Trump. If you look at the 100 Senate Votes and you look at the Senate election results, 52–48 (I’ll put the Independents with the Democrats), then the Electoral College would most likely have been 282–253 in favor of Trump. Over 90% of the registered voters in Washington DC voted for Clinton, so she gets those 3 Electoral votes.So that makes it 282–256. That’s significantly closer than it was with our current “winner take all” system.But that doesn’t take into account how the originally intended system would have changed the way the candidates campaigned throughout the country. I’m sure it would have changed many things.For Hillary to win, she would have needed to persuade a combination of 14 districts/electors to vote for her instead of Trump.If she had accomplished that, she would have won the election 270–268. Anything less than the 270 and the House would have elected the President (The House Represents the people which is why it’s the House and not the Senate who would make this decision).But, the reality today using the current “winner take all” system is Trump won 306–232.We need to abolish the 17th Amendment and have our Senators elected by the State legislators, and we need to have Electors vote based on district.The “con-Electoral College” arguments regarding tyranny of the minority, or it’s not true a few states would elect the President, or it’s the swing States and nobody else counts, are very short sided.No matter what system you put in place, there will always be issues. There will always be workarounds. You can’t get away from it. Period.I’m opposed to direct democracy for all of the reasons history has taught us. In fact, most western countries have representative systems. Switzerland is a rare example.Why is this? Because most everyone in the western world understand the perils of direct democracy.We seem to be constantly saying the right side of this picture is the way it needs to be. In fact, we demand it. We repeatedly say the left picture is unfair and we apply that logic to virtually everything.The electoral college is the right side and direct democracy is like the left side.So now the left side is what we want?If you’re upset about 2016, then ok, but keep a few things in mind:Athenian Democracy lasted 150 years before it collapsed.The Roman Republic last 500 years before it collapsed.They both collapsed the same way; direct democracy.Both installed dictators. Neither was relevant again.More recently, the Senate used to have a filibuster that required 67 votes. That was changed to 60 so that legislation could not be stopped. Then when the other side had enough for 60 to stop the other’s legislation, it was changed to 51. Now the other side has that 51 and now we are upset because it was supposed to be for us, not the other side.The elimination of the Electoral College will be the same.
