Plains are flatlands. Plains that occur at high altitudes are often called steppes.
Plains can either be the result of no seismic activity between tectonic plates or a leveling of the land by glacial activity.
Mountains are elevated lands with sharp variations in altitude.
Mountains are usually formed by interactions between tectonic plates or volcanic activity.

Brahmin is a varna (class, caste) in Hinduism specialising as priests, teachers (acharya) and protectors of sacred learning across generations.
The traditional occupation of brahmins was that of priesthood at the Hindu temples or at socio-religious ceremonies and rite of passage rituals such as solemnising a wedding with hymns and prayers.Theoretically, the Brahmins were the highest ranking of the four social classes. In practice, Indian texts suggest that Brahmins were agriculturalists, warriors, traders and have held a variety of other occupations in India

Ashoka invaded Kalinga in 261 B.C. In Kalinga War, 100,000 people died, 150,000 were wounded and made prisoners of war. The sight of such a carnage and massacre of human lives, and the sufferings of the wounded made a deep impression on Ashoka's mind. The unhappiness of the women and the children made him very sad and unhappy. He vowed never to make a war again.
He decided to devote his life to the spread of Dharma. Dharmavijaya, and not Digvijaya (victory in all directions), became the goal of Ashoka's life.
He was the first emperor in the history of the world to give up war after victory. Thus, the Kalinga War became a turning point in Ashoka's life.
He told his people to follow the path of nonviolence.

When reading a map, you need to refer to a set of instructions in order to understand distances in real life. A map scale is a ratio of the distance on a map to the actual distance of the ground. Map scales can usually be found on the outer edge of a map, usually near the map's key (a set of symbols that also make the map easier to understand). Whether the scale is drawn out or written, you can easily calculate distances if you know the ratio.
The map scale on most maps is quite a large ratio. After all, maps are a physical representation of the Earth. In order to have a 1:1 ratio of map to ground, you would have to carry around a map as big as the planet! Pockets are usually not big enough.
Types of Map Scales
There are two main types of map scales: bar and lexical. In a bar scale, which tends to be the most common, the mapmaker has given you a visual guide to use to make distance calculations. You can use any measuring tool or a piece of string to figure out actual distances on a map by directly measuring the map distance and translating it to the bar scale.
A lexical scale is not visual like a bar scale. Instead, the mapmaker gives the distance conversion in words. For example, the map may include the scale written as '1 inch equals 10 miles'. This is generally viewed as less practical and is, therefore, much less common. With this scale, it is also much more common to run into language barriers for speakers of languages other than what the map is written in. This scale works in the same way as the bar scale, but it is just represented differently.
