The whole idea, one bite at a time
Veda Bites are swipeable micro-lessons — each one teaches exactly one idea. Here's a taste from this kit; the app has the full deck.
How the letter opens
Not the monument first.
With a question she already had: who were they, and does anybody remember their names?
The dates as clues
Guess it.
Begun April 2018, finished February 2019, 40 acres beside India Gate. Then the name.
The order of the medals
Param first, Maha second.
Then Kirti Chakra, Vir Chakra and Shaurya Chakra. Each soldier in the chapter is tied to one of them.
What posthumously means
After death.
Almost every award named here was given that way, because the acts are rarely survived.
The first Param Vir Chakra
Badgam, 1947.
Major Somnath Sharma, in the first year of independent India, and awarded after his death.

Two Halves of a Sentence, and Words for Brave
Most sentences in this chapter come in two halves, and only one of them can stand alone. This topic finds the joining word, names the two halves, builds new words with seven prefixes, and collects nine words for courage…
