What is a time capsule? A time capsule is like a container that is made of a specific material. The time capsule is able to withstand all kinds of weather, it is buried very deep inside the ground. Despite being very deep, it neither gets harmed nor does it rot for thousands of years.

Why is the time capsule pressed? , The purpose of pressing the time capsule inside the ground is to preserve the history of a society, a period or a country. Time capsule helps the future generation to know about the history of a particular era, society, history and country.

History of time capsule On November 30, 2017, a time capsule about 400 years old was found in Burgos, Spain. This capsule was in the form of a statue of Jesus Christ. A document was placed inside the statue, containing economic, political and cultural information from around 1777. At present, it is considered to be the oldest time capsule time capsule in india In India too, there have been many occasions when time capsules have been kept at different places. When Indira Gandhi was the Prime Minister and Narendra Modi was the Chief Minister of Gujarat, these leaders were accused of keeping their data in time capsules and burying them in the ground. IIT Kanpur also during its golden jubilee programe t To preserve the history of 50 years, a time capsule was constructed and placed underground in February 2010 by President Pratibha Patil. In this time capsule, all the information about all the research, research, teachers, students and faculty in IIT so far was kept safe for the future so that even if the world is destroyed, the history of IIT Kanpur will be safe in the future. Apart from this, Chandrashekhar Azad Agricultural University of Kanpur had also kept a time capsule. In which many types of information related to the history of Agricultural University were saved and kept safely under the ground.

According to time capsule historian William Jarvis, most time capsules do not provide specific historical information. They are full of nonsense and contain very little information about the people of that period. The capsules that have been found only contain artefacts for future historians. Historians believe that things that are useful to people on a daily basis will increase the importance of time capsules for future historians.

Even if the time capsule is converted into a museum of a particular time, it will not benefit because they are sealed for a certain time. No information is available about the generations that take place from the date of their launch till they are opened. But in spite of all this, the curiosity about the time capsule remains because they record such information on the skull of time, whose new songs are heard in the future.

Westinghouse Electric Company made two famous time capsules, which are recorded in history. The first for the 1939 New York World's Fair and the second for the 1965 Fair. Both were inserted 50 feet deep in the ground and will be opened in the year 6939. Can opener, electric lamp, Mickey Mouse, clock, cup and miniature camera were inserted in the time capsule of the year 1939. Whereas in the time capsule of 1965 bikini, transistor radio, computer memory unit and Polaroid camera.

If I have a time capsule, I must be put it from my university for will be hold some memories. The time capsule may be helpful in the major holy shrines of Hinduism like Mata Vaishno Devi Mandir, Kashi Vishwanath temple or the twelve Jyotirlingas. If the future generations are not wiser than the present and have to struggle to strive for the already accumulated knowledge then we have failed as a civilisation. So, It can also be used to pass on the unaltered history and Indic knowledge of Vedas,other scriptures and science of Ayurveda among other endless wealths of Indian civilisation. In this way, time capsules can be an effective tool to protect our civilisational knowledge and history from being further destroyed or altered by the attackers or their sympathisers.
