The British East India Company has taken Bengal after the Battle of Plassey and the wealth is draining out. The muslin weavers are being forced out of business. The Permanent Settlement locks land ownership into British-friendly landlord hands. The famine of 1770 killed a third of the population. The next famine is coming.
Regional/Cultural Day
Ziua Cunoasterii
The first day of school in Moldova, and the tradition is to dress the children in their best clothes, to give them flowers for the teacher, and to gather in the schoolyard for the "first bell" ceremony. The first bell is rung by a boy in the first grade, who is carried on the shoulders of a girl in the last grade, and the sound of the bell marks the beginning of the school year. The children are nervous, the mothers are emotional, and the teachers are ready. The tradition is to give the teacher a bouquet of gladioli, and the teacher gives each child a small gift (a pencil, a notebook, or an apple).
