Russia has deployed an underwater telescope called the Baikal-GVD (Gigaton Volume Detector) in the Lake Baikal, the world’s deepest lake & also the world's largest freshwater lake by volume
GVD is one of the three largest neutrino detectors in the world, other 2 being IceCube at the South Pole and ANTARES in the Mediterranean Sea.
GVD is designed to detect neutrinos that may have come from the Earth’s core, or could have been produced during nuclear reactions in the Sun, or formed as a result of supernova explosions.
It will aid in understanding of the origin of the universe since some neutrinos were formed during the Big Bang
Neutrinos:👇
They are not easy to catch, this is because they do not carry a charge, as a result of which they do not interact with matter.
Natural sources of neutrinos include the primordial elements within the earth, radioactivity in the sun
One way of detecting neutrinos is in water or ice, where neutrinos leave a flash of light or a line of bubbles when they interact.

▪️MACMOHAN LINE
* MacMohan Line marks the border between India and China.
* The line is named after Sir Henry McMahon, the then foreign secretary of the British-run Government of India and the chief negotiator of the convention at Simla.
* It extends for 550 miles (890 km) from Bhutan in the west to 160 miles (260 km) east of the great bend of the Brahmaputra River in the east, largely along the crest of the Himalayas. China rejects the Simla Accord, contending that the Tibetan government was not sovereign and therefore did not have the power to conclude treaties.
* It is the effective boundary between China and India, although its legal status is disputed by the Chinese government.

* Radcliff Line had divided British India into three parts - West Pakistan, India and East Pakistan. But in 1971, the Bengali people in East Pakistan rebelled against their West Pakistani rulers. As a result a new country came into being and is known as Bangladesh.
* The same Radcliffe Line which separated India and the then East Pakistan is the present border between India and Bangladesh.
