0:03 Hello, welcome to Career 247. I am Prashant Dhawan and in this video we are going to talk about a very important topic. Recently, Israel has made a major change in the history of textbooks of its schools. And now these people will proudly write there that the soldiers who liberated the city of Haifa in Israel from the Ottoman Empire were not British. Our Indian Soldiers. You will see that many articles have been published on this that it was Indian and not British soldiers who gave us independence. This will be written in the books of Israel. This has been recently confirmed by the Mayor of Hafa City. He has said that we want to honour the contribution of Indian soldiers. Because when you
0:51 write in the text books that British soldiers came to liberate the city of Haifa from the Ottoman Empire, then it comes to mind that good British looking soldiers had come. But as you guys know and if you do n't know I'm going to tell you. Indian soldiers defeated the Ottoman Empire in Haifa in 1918 and liberated the city, and this shared history should definitely be celebrated. So all together, the changes that Israel has made in its text books, in every school we are changing the text, this is a big step in improving India-Israel relations. Now your question will come here. Wait what city is this? Haifa 1918 This is more than 100 years old. What happened here?
1:37 What happened in World War One? Let me explain it to you in very simple language. Now look, there have been two major wars in human history. The biggest wars we call. One is World War One and the other is World War Two. We are talking about World War One here. World War One began in 1914 and was largely over by the end of 1918. Look, in this war, there was an empire at that time, the Ottoman Empire, whose map you can see here. This is where the Ottoman Empire is located. The Ottoman Empire and its many European allies. All of them fought against the British Empire, the American Empire and many other empires of the world. And when World War One was coming to an end,
2:22 a major geopolitical event took place; the Ottoman Empire collapsed. The country you see today, modern day Turkey, is the last remaining land of the Ottoman Empire. Otherwise, the Ottoman Empire looked something like this at its peak. They had a lot of land and today the modern day country of Israel and Palestine, both Israel and Palestine, came under the Ottoman Empire. Now since the Ottoman Empire was at war against the British Empire, by default British India also got involved here because it was a part of the British Empire. So what happened? Many Indian soldiers were primarily sent from Rajasthan to fight the Ottoman Empire
3:09 all over Europe and specifically to the city of Haifa in Israel and if I show you on the map where Haifa is, then here you will see that this is Haifa city of Israel, it is a coastal city and 500 years ago, 1000 years ago, 100 years ago and even today this city is very important because to a large extent this city connects Europe with South Asia. Today, you must have heard about the IMAC Corridor which is being built, the India Middle East Europe Economic Corridor, Haifa City will have a critical role there too. From here a trade route will pass which will connect the Middle East and South Asia to Europe. And the interesting thing is, to whom does the main port of Haifa belong today? To Adani Ports,
3:57 an Indian company. Well, from this you understand how important Haifa is. And in 1918, when World War One was about to end, it was very important for the British Empire to liberate the city of Haifa as soon as possible so that more soldiers could come from this city and push the Ottoman Empire back further. So the battle of the city of Haifa, The Battle of Haifa, was a historical war. Many historians also believe that if Indian soldiers had not been sent to Haifa in 1918, the Ottoman Empire would have occupied a large part of the land there and even today, both Israel and Palestine would be under the control of modern-day Turkey or a semi-
4:43 Ottoman empire. Basically, the Battle of Haifa is directly correlated to the eventual birth of Israel. And interestingly, many people in India may not know much about the Battle of Haifa. The way the Lancers from India went from Jodhpur, Mysore, Hyderabad, our Lancers all together went to different lands and fought against the soldiers of the Ottoman Empire. Soldiers who had artillery and guns. Our soldiers were horse riders. They only had spears, they were lancers. Even then he won. Look at this, you will find a lot of mention in the text books of Israel and if you also see the war ceremony in Israel, there is a war ceremony of the Battle of Haifa, World War I which
5:29 lasted from 1914 to 1918, there you will see an old brick there, you will find an Om Bhagavate Namah there, it is said that the soldiers of that time had left their mark somewhere on Israel, so this is such an event about which Israel wants that the Israeli citizens should have proper clarity. Because as I told you, you can write in the text books that at that time the British Empire got involved. The British Empire sent its soldiers. It will not come to your mind from anywhere. Especially it will not come to the mind of Europeans or Israelis that the soldiers who were sent were of Indian origin. And this writing is very much I would say good. And now Israel will write in every book here that it was not
6:14 the British but the Indians who liberated us. One thing that is clearly visible from this is that Israel has an intention to see India as a long term partner. Because only with a long term partner you build such a relationship that you can tell your future generations that we got independence because of the contribution of these people. In a way, you can say that the foundation of our country was laid indirectly, it was through India, it was through the Battle of Haifa. And honestly, if you ask me, our movie industry keeps making videos on irrelevant topics. We have not yet made a movie on this topic, this important historical event. I mean I put it directly to Akshay Kumar, I am joking. But I mean I think we can really make a good movie
7:02 on this topic as well. Because I was listening to the statement of the Mayor of Haifa here. He was saying that I studied in college. I Was Born in the City. I was born in Haifa. I did my college and university here and I was always told that the British had given us independence. And eventually, at one point, some people from the Historical Society came and told me that look, they were not Britishers. Those were Indians who freed us from the Ottomans. And then it came to my mind that we do not know this and I should spread this news. So I think in India too we should probably make a movie on the Battle of Haifa, when once in history the Ottoman Empire and Indian soldiers clashed, what was the result? Our soldiers
7:50 without guns, without artillery, their soldiers without guns, artillery and what was the result. So I believe eventually here you will see that in the coming time a movie will also be made on this topic in India and I hope they do justice to this topic and finally here I will also ask you a question, the question here is that which organization, which company or which organization has developed the Anant Shastra Surface to Air Missile System, here your options are Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, HL Bharat Dynamics Limited, BDL, ISRO, Indian Space and Research Organization, Defence Research and Development Organization, so answer in the comment section,
8:35 I will mark the comments of those who give the correct answer so that other people can understand what the correct answer is, see people often say that there is a shortage of jobs, but in reality jobs are increasing, it is just that people are not searching in the right place, recently a university in the US published a very interesting research, these people said that there are some specific career options whose demand is going to increase a lot all over the world. Here you can see that the employment of data scientists is projected to grow by 36% from 2023 to 203. This is going to grow many times more than other average occupations. And even in our beloved India, you will see that now such articles have started getting published openly whether one should study Economics or Data Science. The sad thing is
9:23 that many of you parents may not even know about Data Science that today it has become a great career option for many people. Data scientists who are employed in a well-reputed company are earning a lot. And even if you are working as a data scientist in an Indian startup. You can earn a good salary. The question here is whether you are aware enough to skill yourself for the new age jobs as per the changing times or not? Because even the World Economic Forum report says that the demand for data analysts, AI specialists, machine learning engineers, data scientists is going to increase a lot in the future.
