Why do CDs have hole in the middle ???

  CD (  Compact Disc  ) must spin very fast to read it.

The hole is for the motor to catch it at the center and spin it round and round.

If no hole, CD would wobble and fall..

Hole helps factory machine to hols the CD when they make it.

All discs like CD, DVD have hole at the center for the same   reason

Why judo was banned in Japan ??

 This information was shared on Koun Banega Karodpati program.

Actually  judo was not fully banned forever !!!

It was banned for a short time in Japan after world war Ii by allied occupation.

After world war II ended, America and its allies were in charge of Japan.

They said, " No judo, No karate for 5  years !!!  "

Why did America and its allies banned Judo ??

They thought Judo was used to train soldiers.

They didn't want Japan to learn how to fight again  !!!

After 5 years, ban got ended.

Then Judo became a sport.  Not for war ......

Judo was banned ......

Not by Japan but America and its allies !!!

Banned only for 5 years......

Now Judo is Japan's No. 1 sport.

India has won gold medal in Judo in Commonwealth games 2026    !!!
