A 20th century Sufi known as Sheikh Muhammad Sultan used to live in a small village in Anantnag, the Kashmir valley called Hakura Badasgam. He has achieved miraculous status throughout the Kashmir area as well as outside of it as one of its prophets. Baba Sultan is classified as a Qalandar (one of 4 categories of Sufis). The Qalandars lived their lives wholly devoted to God by following Him alone and not following social customs (that is, the accepted rules of society) as a matter of course, except where doing so might violate the Shari'ah (that is, the universal law of God). (The differences in behaviour, dress, and objects carried by Qalandars has been used as an excuse to consider Qalandars to be separate from others.) There exists a considerable amount of literature concerning Qalandars in languages other than English such as Urdu (the principal native language of Pakistan), Persian (the principal native language of Iran), and Arabic (the principal native language of Saudi Arab...

 Growing E-Commerce Sector in India

These days, we communicate with each other through mobile devices than face-to-ace. It begins and ends with the ubiquitous smartphone — for communication; whether it be about ordering food, catching a cab or shopping. Currently, it is the worlds largest market in terms of number users and fastest growing as well. Our country is doing amazingly well in the field of online business. E-commerce : The recession- free industry India's Online shopping Industry is also now fast catching up and with bade being in big metro cities it have even reaches to tier II cities. At least according to the internet, the "tech" and economic growth engines of India have revved up big time.

Electronic commerce (which is the system of doing business by electronic and digital media like the computer and mobile devices) has evolved not just to be, but is an actual method of global economic development also. The exponential increase in connectivity enabled by computer network (computer network synonymous as internet) has legitimized e-commerce in true sense to be a quick tool allowing for business related connections to be made with zero physical proximity. Millions of internet users engage in the everyday business of banking, shopping and all trades on a daily basis at the snap of a mouse. 

Online shopping register in India seems to be growing at an astoundingly rate of 100 percent YoY and there is no surprise that the race of retail chains and consumer durable companies to go online in order capture this booming E-shopping market, «It is. » Electronic commerce therefore depends on mobile commerce, e-banking, the supply-chain management system, Internet marketing online transaction processing (olTP), EDI (electronic data interchange), inventory management systems and automated data collection systems. The vast majority of contemporary electronic commerce relies on at least one type of technology in the world wide web throughout the life-cycle of at least one point in time within the transaction, although it may broadly rely on as many other technologies (as e-mail, mobile devices social media and telephones overall). Upon the back of increasing internet penetration, international majors entering the fray, mobile adoption with smartphones and tablets featuring new-age mobile technology, availability of funds; millenials looking to shop online and digital payments is helping the ecommerce market in the country grow. These days there is not a single point monumental, Aipioregressive growth in the Indian E-Commerce industry. Key features of this recent lucky E-commerce development in India are the wide spread availability to online trading and significant FDI (foreign direct investment), uniform GST i.e Goods and Services Tax. 

E commerce evolution Started from late 1970s internet became the first time. In the early 1970s E-commerce was launched as a response to business needs that allow high volume and high, transaction value processing. The First Business-to-Business Application was Electronic Data Interchange. And then, internet swung into e-commerce with a bang as a prodigious dimension. The World Wide Web (WWW) as a global access for the internet was discovered with the inception of the World Wide Web in 1994. There has never been a time in the history of mankind that a popular innovation moves as quickly as internet. The United States (US) has traditionally been viewed as e-commerce leads.. Thus, e-commerce in India is insignificantly. Rediff-On-The-Net (India's largest online platform) started the first e-commerce of India on august 13,1998. The country officially entered the era of e-commerce the moment when government removed ISP policy in India on November, 1998. Since that day, there was never any going back and the country is booming on Internet. 

Internet penetration grow at a pretty fast pace on the growth scale. Growth is primarily fueled by huge technology adoption momentum which have been driven by the surge in device usage (smart phone/tablets), connectivity to internet through broadband/3G/4G and so forth that included the masses online. A Sector (E-Commerce) which had made a lot of buzz in late 90s is coming back much stronger and reshaping what digital India will look like. As we all know online shopping is gaining momentum in India. It is completely revolutionizing the retail market. Curious hearts are getting attracted towards some ecommerce market places like flipkart, amazon, snapdeal, shopclues etc. Cashless Payments via various payment gateways like Gpay, Phonepay, mpay,Paytm. Pushed by exciting and simple shopping options on the consumer business, e-commerce has the potential to transform an innovative, sustainable, cohesive and friction-free shopping experience across all channels as the core of consumer facing business. 

This is going in all directions to uplift the Indian economy, And a great transformation in the Online business to India aswell. Also, the growth of e-commerce in India till date has been very sub-continental based with a handful of major cities, covering mostly Bangalore, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Delhi. IT (Info technology) but Deep Sixing Rural, There exists Indians living in rural areas is not aware of what r happening in the IT sector. Clearly, the broader rural base of a country cannot be increasingly integrated into internet and huge progress in e-commerce then does not very much follow. In this state of affairs, the rural sector of the Internet hitherto unsoiled is an enormous eco-system for e-commerce in India. At the end of it, this says that yes e-commerce has established some roots but there is a lot more of that which needs to be nurtured in our country.

The French historian Bernier François noted that Akbar, force the Kashmiris to wear Pheran and Kangris, to subdue their martial spirit, as the Kashmiris resisted the Mughal armies with an unprecedented level of bravery.
