Colorado Revised Statutes 42-4-603 (2013):"(1) No driver of a vehicle shall disobey the instructions of any official traffic control device..."and"(5) Any person who violates any provision of this section commits a class A traffic infraction."Like many states, Colorado derives its roadway markings definitions from the Federal Highway Administration's 'Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices', which in its 2009 revision states; "Where crossing the lane line markings is discouraged, the lane line markings shall consist of a normal or wide solid white line." (2009 rev. Section 3B.20) and "Where crossing the lane line markings is prohibited, the lane line markings shall consist of a solid double white line." (2009 rev. Section 3B.30).Unless otherwise posted (such as by means of a sign), it is generally legal, but 'discouraged', to cross a single solid white line in Colorado. It is not legal to cross a solid double white line in Colorado, "unless otherwise directed by a police officer subject to the exceptions in this article granted the driver of an authorized emergency vehicle." [C.R.S. 42-4-603(1)]

This man…Shēr Shāh Sūrī (1486 – 22 May 1545),According to me Sher Shah Suri was the greatest emperor in the history of Indian Subcontinent. Shēr Shāh Sūrī’s name is written as one of the greatest reformer and administrator. I won't be exaggerating while saying that the structure of modern India is based on reforms done in Suri’s administration. He ruled just for 5 years but these 5 years had unimaginable impact on the history of modern India.1)Administration:—Suri established four main central departments: Diwan-i-wizarat (Finance Ministry); Diwan-i-arz (Military/Defence Ministry); Diwan-i-insha (Royal Secretariat); and Diwan-i-Rasalat (Ministery for religious and foreign affairs).Later he divided his whole empire into 47 divisions called ‘Sarkars’ and these were again subdivided into smaller administrative units called ‘Parganas’.2)Coinage:—He introduced a system of tri-metalism which came to characterise Mughal coinage (Silver coin) which was called 'Rupia'. Rupee is today used as the national currency in India, Indonesia, Mauritius, Maldives, Pakistan, Seychelles, Nepal & Sri Lanka.Suri introduced copper coins which were called Dam, Half Dam and quarter Dam as per denomination.3)Communication:—Sher Shah Suri constructed 1700 'Sarais' along with the roads at a distance of every 4 miles for the maintenance of peace and for the rest of homeless travelers.Markets were established near every sarai for sale and purchase. Each sarai had two to four horses for transmitting news of far and near to the center. In total all the sarais possessed 3400 horses.Sher Shah appointed 'Shiqdar' in each 'Parganah'. This system functioned so well that Sher Shah got the news of disaffection of his 'Umrah', soldiers and Zamindars of distant provinces before they spread in the area concerned. There used to be two "Tariq Nawis" or post house clerks, who recorded the arrival and departure of mail carriers. Mails were carried by the "mewars" and messengers. Sher Shah's messengers brought news from Bengal to Punjab (1400 miles approximately) in less than a week.Sher Shah established a self-sustaining postal system. The postal system was under the supervision of "Darogha-Dak". A superintendent known as "Darogha-Dak Chowki" was appointed. Receiving the administrative dispatches for the conveyance of the ruler. Sher Shah kept himself well informed about his servants' literal materialization through his spies.4)Infrastructure:—Suri constructed four important roads:1) Grand Trunk Road from Sonargaon to Peshawar; 2) road from Agra to Multan via Delhi; 3) road from Multan to Lahore; and 4) road from Mandu to Agra. These roads were lined with trees, wells and rest houses.Sher Shah also built monuments such as Rohtas Fort, many structures in the RohtsGarh fort in Bihar, Sher Shah Suri Mosque, in Patna,A new city Bhera of Pakistan in 1545 and inside the city built historical grand Sher Shah Suri Masjid.Rohtsgarh Fort WikipediaSher Shah Suri mosque in Bhera (Pakistan) WikipediaSher Shah Suri tomb coverd in green Wikipedia5)Tax Collections :—Land revenue; Taxes on the transportation of raw and finished products; Confiscation of the unclaimed property; Tributes from the rajas, nawabs jagirdars, etc.; Gifts from the foreign travellers; Salt tax; and One-fifth of the Kham (booty); Zakat on Musalmans & Jizya on HindusMirza Aziz Koka, son of Ataga Khan wrote a letter of Jahangir and described Suri Administration & said“Specially Sher Khan was not an angel (malak) but a king (malik). In six years he gave such stability to the structure (of the empire) that its foundations still survive. He had made India flourish in such a way that the king of Persia and Turan appreciate it, and have a desire to look at it. Hazrat Arsh Ashiyani (Akbar the great) followed his administrative manual (zawabit) for fifty years and did not discontinue them. In the same India due to able administration of the well wishers of the court, nothing is left except rabble and jungles...” WikipediaSher Shah Suri’s death was indeed a big loss to Indian Subcontinent.~K.U.FarqaleetEdit:-If you have any name better than him, do write in comment section. I would like to see others point of view also :)

THE WORST JOB IN INDIA. PS. It’s illegal too!Stay with me till the end. It is going to be the most shocking thing you read on internet today.While almost all the posts on this page talk about unique jobs prevalent in several countries, I was so sure that no one from India would tell you about this particular job, which I’m going to describe further. This is because everyone hates it, hates to even talk about it or discuss it widely.I’m talking about the job of “Manual Scavenging”.Scavenging is the practice of manual cleaning of human excreta from service/ dry latrines. The scavengers crawl into the dry latrines and collect the human excreta with their bare hands, carry it as head-load in a container to dispose it off.Hundreds of thousands of impoverished "low caste" Indians are being forced to clean human excreta from dry toilets and open drains, despite a ban on the discriminatory and undignified practice, according to Human Rights Watch (HRW).In rural areas they are often given leftover food, old clothes and access to land instead of wages - all at the discretion of households they serve.Below is someone’s real life story, not a mere example:Saraswati doesn’t remember the last time her bare hands touched the statues of the gods lying on a shaky wooden plank in a corner of her one-room house in Farrukhnagar village of Ghaziabad district. She doesn’t remember the last time she prayed or fasted.She says every part of her body stinks—stinks even after multiple baths.Every morning 57-year-old Saraswati and almost 50 other women in the village leave their houses to physically remove human excrement from dry toilets of higher-caste families.They are what the country calls the manual scavengers. In India, the people employed to clean such toilets have always been the untouchables or dalits—and 98% of them are women.Saraswati is one. With a small mouth, deep sunken eye sockets, wide nose and sun-tanned wheatish skin, Saraswati’s face is a knot of depression and a lifelong angst.People like Saraswati aren’t invisible. According to the 2011 census, there are 750,000 families that still work as manual scavengers.But activists working for the community estimate the number to be higher, around 1.3 million, especially because the government hasn’t included the railway employees who have to clean excrement from the railway tracks, as Indian trains lack a proper waste-disposal system. Yet, the administration turns a blind eye to them.The 96-page report, “Cleaning Human Waste: ‘Manual Scavenging,’ Caste, and Discrimination in India,” documents the coercive nature of manual scavenging.Selected Testimonies from the Report:“The first day when I was cleaning the latrines and the drain, my foot slipped and my leg sank in the excrement up to my calf. I screamed and ran away. Then I came home and cried and cried. I knew there was only this work for me.”— Sona, Bharatpur city, Rajasthan, June 2013“I clean in 20 houses. They give me roti [flat bread]. They don’t give more than two rotis, but they do give us something. My husband does farm work, but work in the fields does not come every day. If I do this work, at least we will have something to eat.”— Shanti, Mainpuri district, Uttar Pradesh, January 2014“I studied commerce and banking, but I couldn’t find work. Even though I am educated, the village council hired me to clean toilets because I am from this community.”— Kailash Pokerji Kundare, Jalgaon district, Maharashtra, March 2014“We went to the panchayat [local council] members and said, please give us some work. The work they gave, my work, was to clean the gutter, clean excrement from roads, clean the toilets, clean the village, and remove garbage. It is our caste. They will not give us any better work to do. Nothing that would give us dignity.”— Gopal Harilal Bohit, Jalgaon district, Maharashtra, March 2014“They called our men and said ‘If you don’t start sending your women to clean our toilets, we will beat them up. We will beat you up.’ They said, ‘We will not let you live in peace.’ We were afraid.”— Gangashri, Mainpuri district, Uttar Pradesh, January 2014“I had to work with my head veiled. During the rains, my clothes would become drenched with excrement. They would not dry. The house would smell. I started to get skin diseases and even to lose my hair.”— Badambai, Neemuch district, Madhya Pradesh, January 2014“The manual carrying of human feces is not a form of employment, but an injustice akin to slavery. It is one of the most prominent forms of discrimination against Dalits, and it is central to the violation of their human rights.”— Ashif Shaikh, founder of Rashtriya Garima Abhiyan, a grassroots campaign to end manual scavenging, May 2014Manual Scavenging Violates Laws and ConstitutionIndia’s Constitution bans caste-based discrimination known as untouchability. The Protection of Civil Rights Act, 1955, prohibits compelling anyone to practice manual scavenging. In 2013, the Indian parliament enacted The Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and Their Rehabilitation Act (the 2013 Act) outlawing all manual excrement cleaning. The 2013 Act also recognized a constitutional obligation to correct the historical injustice and indignity suffered by these communities by providing alternate livelihood and other assistance.In March 2014, the Supreme Court of India ruled that manual scavenging violates international human rights law. But it still exists; and if we don’t raise a voice, it always will, as it always has been.References:1. Sulabh International Social Service Organisation2. India’s great shame3.
