then
    . ~/.aliases

which would read your alias from the ~/.aliases file (as soon as you put it there).
I've created the .bashrc file inside the file i've placed you're code and i've created another file ~/.aliases and have the following line
Code:
c='clear'
ls='ls -ltr'

i've logged out and looged in but still not working

polygraph-aka

POLYGRAPH-AKA(1)						   User Commands						  POLYGRAPH-AKA(1)

NAME

       polygraph-aka - IP aliases manipulation tool

SYNOPSIS

       aka [--option ...] [interface_name] [alias] ...

DESCRIPTION

       Aka is used to setup large number of aliases during Polygraph experiments with many robots and servers.

       The aliases option specifies what alias or aliases you want to have on the given interface. Aka recognizes IP addresses in PGL address for-
       mat, including dotted IP range. Aka will try to guess the subnet or you can use an explicit subnet specification.

       The number of aliases you can set depends on your OS. Moreover, some OSes may support large number of aliases (more than 1000) but  with  a
       significant performance penalty.

       Note that you can just put alias specs after all other options and the interface name (see aka's usage line).

       Aka  will  delete all old aliases before setting new ones. If you do not specify the new aliases, the old ones will still be deleted (handy
       for cleaning up after yourself).

OPTIONS

       --help list of options

       --version
	      package version info

       --if <str>
	      interface name

       --aliases <str>
	      ip(s) or ip range(s) to set as aliases
