Kunal Kamra showed middle finger to CJI Arvind Bobde. NOTHING happened. All is well.

Ajeet Bharti criticized Supreme court and attorney general grants sanction to initiate criminal contempt proceedings against him.

That's the tweet.

Anshul Saxena @AskAnshul
Attorney General refused consent for criminal contempt action on:

1. Swara Bhasker for comment on Ayodhya verdict

2. Prashant Bhushan for remark against CJI

But, Ajeet Bharti be punished because he questioned Judiciary on Bengal violence, anti CAA protests & 3 Cr pending cases

BREAKING: Attorney General KK Venugopal refuses to give consent for initiation of contempt proceedings against journalist Rajdeep Sardesai. AG says tweets made by Sardesai are “not so serious so as to undermine the majesty of the Supreme Court”

BREAKING UPDATE: Attorney General grants sanction to initiate criminal contempt proceedings against @NijiSachiv for his YouTube video with allegedly “scurrilous" "vituperative" and "highly derogatory" words against Supreme Court and its judges.

Venugopal is quite open about his leanings. Yet Modi govt gave him extension

Case in point: Expect more repudiation of “decolonialism” in toto from these academics.
It was once gospel for them, but now that they have tenure and fancy professorships it no longer has utility

Even a brick would generate "some" lift.

Vaimanika Shastra Seems to be bunkum as determined by our own Indian scientists of IISc Bangalore way back in ...

There is renewed interest in Vedic and ancient Indian mathematics these days and thats great !

The Bakhshali manuscript.... L Gurjar discusses its date in detail, and concludes it can be dated no more accurately than 'between 2nd century BC and 2nd century AD'. He offers compelling evidence by way of detailed analysis of the contents of the manuscript (originally carried by R Hoernle). His evidence includes the language in which it was written ('died out' around 300 AD), discussion of currency found in several problems, and the absence of techniques known to have been developed by the 5th century. Further support of these dates is provided by several occurrences of terminology found only in the manuscript, (which form the basis of a paper by M Channabasappa).

The B. Ms. highlights developments in Arithmetic and Algebra. The arithmetic contained within the work is of such a high quality that it has been suggested:

... In fact [the] Greeks [are] indebted to India for much of the developments in Arithmetic. [LG, P 53]

This quote 'throws open' the traditional Eurosceptic opinion of the history (and origins) of mathematics. Yet even today histories of mathematics rarely acknowledge this contribution of the Indian sub-continent and the B. Ms. is rarely if ever mentioned.
<snip>
By the end of the 2nd century AD mathematics in India had attained a considerable stature, and had become divorced from purely practical and religious requirements, (although it is worth noting that over the next 1000 years the majority of mathematical developments occurred within works on astronomy). The topics of algebra, arithmetic and geometry had developed significantly and it is widely thought that the decimal place value system of notation had been (generally) perfected by 200 AD, the consequence of which was far reaching.

In the mathematical verses of the Aryabhatiya the following topics are covered:

Arithmetic:

Method of inversion.

Various arithmetical operators, including the cube and cube root are though to have originated in Aryabhata's work. Aryabhata can also reliably be attributed with credit for using the relatively 'new' functions of squaring and square rooting.

Algebra:

Formulas for finding the sum of several types of series.

Rules for finding the number of terms of an arithmetical progression.

Rule of three - improvement on Bakshali Manuscript.

Rules for solving examples on interest - which led to the quadratic equation, it is clear that Aryabhata knew the solution of a quadratic equation.

Trigonometry:

Tables of sines, not copied from Greek work (see Figure 8.2.1).

Gupta comments:

...The Aryabhatiya is the first historical work of the dated type, which definitely uses some of these (trigonometric) functions and contains a table of sines. [RG3, P 72]

Spherical trigonometry (some incorrect).

Geometry:

Area of a triangle, similar triangles, volume rules.

It has been suggested that Aryabhata's geometry was borrowed from the Jaina works, but this seems unlikely as it is generally accepted he would not have been familiar with them.

Also of relevance is the use of 'word numerals' and 'alphabet numerals', which are first found in Aryabhata's work. We can argue that this was not due to the absence of a satisfactory system of numeration but because it was helpful in poetry. C Srinivasiengar quaintly describes it as an:

...Exceedingly queer, if original method of enumeration. [CS, P 43]

However the work of Aryabhata also affords a proof that:

...The decimal system was well in vogue. [CS, P 43]

Of the mathematics contained within the Aryabhatiya the most remarkable is an approximation for π\piπ, which is surprisingly accurate. The value given is: π\piπ = 3.1416

With little doubt this is the most accurate approximation that had been given up to this point in the history of mathematics. Aryabhata found it from the circle with circumference 62832 and diameter 20000. Critics have tried to suggest that this approximation is of Greek origin. However with confidence it can be argued that the Greeks only used π=sqrt10\pi =sqrt{10}π=sqrt10 and π=227\pi =\large\frac{22}{7}π=722​ and that no other values can be found in Greek texts.

No less significant to modern mathematics are the works of Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi. Born in the late eighth century. In the Khwarazam oasis, in what is now Khiva, Uzbekistan, Al-Khwarizmi moved to Baghdad during the reign of Al-Mamun. There, he served as a teacher and scholar in the famous Bayt al-Hikma (House of Wisdom), where the arts of translation and scholarship reached their zenith. His writings freely reference mathematical computations borrowed from Indus Valley. In his Kitab al-Jabr wa al-Muqabala (The Book of Manipulation and Restoration), he lays out its purpose:

[To teach] What is easiest and most useful in arithmetic, such as men constantly require in cases of inheritance, legacies, partition, lawsuits, and trade, and in all their dealings with one another, or where the measuring of lands, the digging of canals, geometrical computations, and other objects of various sorts and kinds are concerned.

This composition served as a popular introduction to what became algebra, based on methods acquired from India, which al-Khwarizmi simplified from their original metrical (poetic) forms, writing them out in prose with explanations that have resonated ever since. The Kitab al-Jabr wa al-Muqabala, translated into Latin, made a significant impact in Europe—so much so that part of its title, al-jabr (“restoration”), became synonymous with the equation theory that we know today as algebra.

BTW, they "made" some pretty useless "presidents of India" and that includes (men and women) some who were spectacularly unqualified too.

So much so, that rubberstamp actually became a bad word and the word "emergency", warts and all, entered the Indian political lexicon

why did he forget to mention chi chi neverwho and his parade of biking clad goris

When you see (Mahatma) Gandhi's picture, you'll see 2-3 women around him.

Have you seen a picture of Mohan Bhagwat with any woman?

That’s because their org suppresses women & our org give them a platform.

Modi-RSS didn't make any woman PM of the country, Congress made: Rahul Gandhi

Uttar Pradesh should do something like 50 lakh vax doses tomorrow.

All BJP workers, down to the booth level been mobilized to get people to the vaccination centers.

Another H festival, another instance of sarkari high handedness and whimsicalaity.

Ere we forget, last year the brave dilli pulis arrested 800 ordinary Hs on diwali. And witness the same pulis put on multiple layers of kid gloves when it comes to brotesting farmers, or shaheenbaug rioters and what not. Just coz they're non-H?

P.S. Wonder what happened to 'em green crackers plan?

We have seen multiple instances of ED saying stuff during investigation. But many of the cases don't even reach the courtroom.

Where if by some miracle the case goes to trial, the accused is acquitted.

So let a conviction take place. We can celebrate.
