🌍 Parichay (Introduction)
15 July 1799—ek aisa din jab French soldiers ne Rosetta Stone ko Egypt me discover kiya. Ye stone ek linguistic treasure nikla, jisme Greek, Demotic, aur Egyptian hieroglyphs likhe the.
Is discovery ne ek aise ancient civilization ki language ko decode karna possible banaya jise log 1,500 saal se nahi samajh pa rahe the.
Rosetta Stone ka decode hona sirf ek archaeological achievement nahi tha—it was the revival and dissemination of Egypt’s lost knowledge to the modern world.

Dissemination vs. Propagation:
- Dissemination: Spread of knowledge or ideas in structured or intentional ways
- Propagation: Broader term, often used for beliefs or biological spread
Dissemination vs. Broadcasting: Broadcasting zyada mass media-centric hota hai; dissemination academic aur cultural context me bhi hota hai
