Sallekhana means <u>Holy death.</u>

According to Tattvrthastra 7.22 from the second century, "vow of willing pious dying" is what Sallekhan alludes to.

The householder then "courts voluntarily pious-death at the conclusion of his life." It involves progressively removing the physical body's and the interior passions' sources of strength as death draws near.

Death is the loss of senses and vitality at the conclusion of a person's life span as determined by their own wills.

When a tragedy, severe old age, or incurable illness affects the body and makes it difficult for the affected person to keep their vows (vrata), one should begin "courting voluntary pious-death" in order to at least preserve their vows.

Hence, option B is correct.

why is the timeline so important during the Holocaust:? What is happening during the years prior and after?
Finger [1]

<u>Answer:</u>

Holocaust - an important event in history because it killed 6 million Jews in Europe by the Nazis. Hitler was not a hater of Jews. He built this ideology against Jews because of the myth that spread after WW I.

The myth is that Jews and Communists betrayed the German army during the war and that is the reason Germany lost the war. Jews lacked their citizenship and their basic rights, after Nazi took the power of Germany and Hitler became as Chancellor.

Nazi killed Jews all over the European countries they have invaded. Nearly, 80% to 85% of Jews killed during the Holocaust period. During WW II, the Germans troop surrendered to Russia.

After seeing the defeat Hitler took his own life and that's ended WW II. Jews who were in the concentration camps rescued and the Nazi officials charged for crimes against humanity and peace.

He was a prolific us author who promoted socialist views and anarchist causes. he is most popular for writing "the jungle," deal
Vesna [10]

The author's name is Upton Sinclair.

Upton Sinclair was an American journalist and novelist. <em>'The Jungle', </em>published in 1905, exposed the harsh reality of immigrants in the United States, particularly those who worked in the meat industry.

Sinclair describes the appealing conditions in meat packing plants in the USA as a way to advance socialism. The book concentrates around the life of a Lithuanian immigrant family who came to the USA to live the American dream. It portrays working class poverty, the lack of social supports, harsh living and working conditions in the factories.

"The Jungle" did not live up to its author's expectations as most readers were more concerned about the quality of meat being packed in the factories, health violations and unsanitary practices, than the plight of the workers. This public outcry led to the creation of the Federal Meat Inspection Act of 1906.
