Most advanced chips of 2nm (used in AI servers, drones, mobile phones) to be designed/ developed by Arm in India.

A dissenting voice by Rajiv Malhotra

This continues the strategy of the past 25 yrs to turn our brightest into the labor force for foreign clients. These workers own ZERO IP, nor does India own any. Like poor Bihari villagers proud to become construction workers in Indian metros building modern skyscrapers. The Indian middlemen organizing this labor arbitrage becoming richer. Result: India's dependency on foreign tech gets even worse. From weapons to social media and everything in between. USA govt treats these H1B visas like slave labor they can threaten to kick out for leverage - how sad to let them be ill-treated.

I get Rajivji's concern — yes, India must own core IP and not just be the backend workforce. But it’s simply not accurate to say nothing has changed in 25 years. Things have moved forward in important ways.

- India today has 25 indigenous chipsets in development (C-DAC, Bengaluru + startups/MSMEs).

- Startups like Vervesemi have their own globally patented IPs (10+ patents, proprietary analog chains, trade secrets).

- ISRO’s Vikram processor is our first fully indigenous chip (see posts here)- design + manufacturing IP owned here in India.

-Schemes like DLI and Chips-to-Startup are explicitly structured around patenting and IP creation. Already 23 chip design projects sanctioned, 72 companies have EDA access.

So yes, foreign collaborations (like Arm in India) continue — but alongside that, there’s a serious indigenous track building ownership of semiconductor IP. By 2025, we’ll see tangible outputs from this.

Criticism is welcome, but dismissing everything as “slave labor” misses the progress. India is finally standing on new feet in semiconductors — and these are steps forward, not sideways. And importantly, leaders like Ashwini Vaishnaw (Minister of I&B, Electronics & IT, IITK alumnus, former IAS) and our scientists deserve to be taken seriously — dismissing them out of habit does no good.

For centuries, decipherment of the Indus script was considered to be one of the most challenging themes but now it seems there is a breakthrough insight decoded by a passionate and exceptionally versed oncologist of the national Capital...

As a cancer specialist, Dr Puneet Gupta has integrated the insights from oncology (cancer of the tongue distorts symmetry and sound), the regain of sound once anticancer treatment restores symmetry, spiritual biology (the author of Applied Spiritual Biology) help decoding the secret key to Harappan signs related to sounds.

Dr Gupta has decoded all 4000 inscriptions and his breakthrough work reclaimed the Harappan zero in writing. For the first time ever, the writing was fully decoded for all the 700 plus signs.

“The Harappan symmetrical signs mirrors the biological symmetry of human jaw and tongue movements. Two stand-alone symbols (non combo signs) are assigned for each specific sound of Harappan language called bi-cameral abugida (BICAS) system. This BICAS provides the secret key to its decipherment and genesis of India Multilingial keyboard for manuscript writing. Now one keyboard can help writing Harappan Brahmi, Brahmi, Prakrit, Sanskrit, Tamil, Hindi, Telgu, Malyalam, Kannad, and all diacritic based Indian scripts of past as well as present” said Dr Puneet Gupta, who is a practising oncologist and Chairman at the AIMS, Faridabad.

Amongst the larger number of experts working on decoding of Harappan manuscripts, Dr Gupta’s work has stunned as his is the only model describing the Indus script as a bi-cameral abugida writing system that has identified around 700 symbols, standalone as well as combined combo clusters as found in about 4000 inscribed objects.

The conference organised by the Union Ministry of Culture brought together 20 eminent speakers of national and international repute, including archaeologists, epigraphists, linguists, engineers, computer scientists, economists, and medical experts.

Dr Gupta model proposed two symbols per sound: one for the pre-sound phase of human speech and second standalone for the post-sound. Simply bi-cumeral system means each sound as in English say B is written as small “b” and capital “b”. Gupta linked the script’s symmetry to jaw and tongue movement, noting that in humans upper jaw remain fixed while lower jaw moves having 16 lower teeth corresponding to 16 vowels related dieties in the Hindu Shodashi system and the Harappan weight measures also use a factor of 16. Shodashi tradtion is closely related to Dattatreya Mantra tradition as revealed in all major urban locations of Harappan civilization.

“Letter to letter and word to word decoding. No rebus, no postulations, no guess work nor estimates,” Dr Gupta added who is ready with a compilation in form of releasing a book on Harappan Unicode soon.

He added now is the time that India should launch own multi lingual language keyboard that shall be able to type all Indian scripts; ancient and modern in one go from Harappan Brahmi to Ashokan Brahmi, Tamil, Prakrit to all modern scripts using dicritics. His hypothesis is unique innovative and standalone. The symmetrical articulation of human biology, symmetrical Harappan script, specific special spoken sound related with two symmetrical symbol is the key to Dr Gupta’s successful decoding, said a senior official from the Ministry of Culture.

Asserting that manuscripts are “a guiding light for the future”, the international conference adopted the New Delhi Declaration to bolster efforts to preserve, digitise and disseminate their knowledge as well as to bring back the original works.

India has one of the richest collections of ancient manuscripts in the world, with nearly 10 million texts that hold the country’s traditional knowledge and cultural heritage. These manuscripts, inscribed on palm leaves, birch barks, cloths, handmade papers and other such material, represent the “living memory of a nation and the foundation of its civilisational identity”
