Extractions: EDITORS NOTE We are close to the end of yet another eventful year in NIAS and this issue of NIASNEWS completes an year as well in its new format. We hope that in the coming year the newsletter will evolve further and that there will be more improvement in its appearance and contents. What will not change, however, is its newsworthiness; we will continue to serve as a window through which the world can glimpse the various activities of the institute. But, in the meantime, please do let us know, as many of you have in the past, what you feel about NIASNEWS and whether you would like to see some other changes brought in. Help us to discover ourselves further! In the last issue, some mistakes had inadvertently crept in: three articles by A Deva Raju had been attributed to P K Shetty and a report on the NIAS Discussion Meeting On The Future Direction Of US Strategy by Sridhar K Chari carried the name of A Deva Raju. We hope that such errors will be avoided in the future, and express our sincere apologies to all concerned. Anindya Sinha Hamsa Kalyani and A Deva Raju , Editors October 2003 FROM THE DIRECTORS DESK One of the most interesting events at NIAS during the last quarter was a dramatised reading of the play Partition , which is not about the dreadful events of 1947 but about the life and work of the Indian mathematical genius Srinivasa Ramanujan. The play, written by Ira Hauptman of Queens College New York, had its world premiére at the University of California at Berkeley in April this year. The Little Theatre of Hyderabad presented a dramatised reading of the play at NIAS, with the generous permission of the author, as part of our

Extractions: Anjum Hasan's talk will locate her poems in her interest in everyday situations and local contexts. She grew up in Shillong and her poetry is peopled by the figures and landscapes of a small-town milieu. What does it mean to write poetry that draws attention to the unnoticed details and textures of day-to-day existence? She will read out poems that capture different aspects of her poetic world - childhood, middle-class existence, small town characters and the idea of home. She will also present samples from the work of poets who have inspired and influenced her. In addition to sharing her poems, Anjum Hasan will discuss, with reference to her own and others' work, her views on aspects of the poet's craft, such as what determines the choice of detail in a poem, the question of tone, the search for an individual style, concerns about technique, and the larger question of why one should write poetry at all. Anjum Hasan currently lives in Bangalore where in addition to working as a writer and critic she is Programme Executive at India Foundation for the Arts. Anjum Hasan's poetry has been published widely in journals in India and abroad. More recently her work has appeared in the anthologies Confronting Love (Penguin, 2005), Reasons for Belonging: Fourteen Contemporary Indian Poets (Penguin, 2003) and Anthology of Contemporary Poetry from the North-East (NEHU, 2003). Her debut collection of poems will be published later this year by the Sahitya Akademi, New Delhi.

Extractions: h o m e h i n d u c u l t u r e p a r t - 2 c o n t e n t s "India is the world's most ancient civilization. Nowhere on earth can you find such a rich and multi-layered tradition that has remained unbroken and largely unchanged for at least five thousand years. Bowing low before the onslaught of armies, and elements, India has survived every invasion, every natural disaster, every mortal disease and epidemic, the double helix of her genetic code transmitting its unmistakable imprint down five millennia to no less than a billion modern bearers. Indians have demonstrated greater cultural stamina than any other people on earth. The essential basis of Indian culture is Religion in the widest and most general sense of the world. An intuitive conviction that the Divine is immanent in everything permeated every phase of life" says Stanley Wolpert. Indic civilization has enriched every art and science known to man. Thanks to India, we reckon from zero to ten with misnamed "Arabic" numerals (Hindsaa - in Arabic means from India), and use a decimal system without which our modern computer age would hardly have been possible. Science and philosophy were both highly developed disciplines in ancient India. However, because Indian philosophic thought was considerably more mature and found particular favor amongst intellectuals, the traditions persists that any early scientific contribution came solely from the West, Greece in particular. Because of this erroneous belief, which is perpetuated by a wide variety of scholars, it is necessary to briefly examine the history of Indian scientific thought. From the very earliest times, India had made its contribution to the texture of Western thought and living. Michael Edwardes author of British India, writes that throughout the literatures of Europe, tales of Indian origin can be discovered. European mathematics

Extractions: A Living Portrait of India India Heritage Science Astronomy A ncient Indians' interest in astronomy was an extension of their religious preoccupations and inasmuch, astronomy and mathematics ran parallel. Both were faithful to the needs of objectivity and subjectivity. Astronomy began as mere wonder at what was observed in the heavens above, grew into a systematic observation and speculation, hence forward into scientific inquiry and interpretation, finally emerging as a sophisticated discipline. Mystical interpretations of the movement of stars and planets developed into astrological science, and astronomy grew into a major factor in the intellectual pursuits of different cultural periods. The chief sources of astronomy-related information are the Vedic texts, Jain literature, and the siddhantas (texts), as also the endeavours in Kerala. Some seals of the Indus Valley period are believed to yield information of the knowledge available to those early settlers, as also the orientation of certain constructions clearly governed by such considerations. An interesting aspect is the Jantar Mantar observatories built by Sawai Jai Singh of Jaipur. There are 5 such structures for measuring time and for astronomy-related calculations, at New Delhi, Varanasi, Jaipur, Mathura and Ujjain. These eighteenth century astrolabes are important for both scientific and architectural reasons.

Deshmukh Memorial Lecture at the India International Centre, Delhi Ladies and Gentlemen, It is a great honour to be invited to deliver this prestigious lecture in the memory of the late C.D. Deshmukh, especially at the India international Centre that was C.D.s creation and one of his most beloved projects. I feel somewhat inhibited to fulfil my assignment today, since from my childhood I had looked upon C.D. Deshmukh as a towering personality. I have memories of his visit to our house back in early nineteen fifties, when I was in secondary school. My parents asked me on that occasion to recite some Sanskrit shlokas . I did so with some trepidation since I had heard about how great a scholar C.D. was in Sanskrit. I also recall feeling very happy when the 'Guest of Honour' complimented me on my Sanskrit pronunciation. On that occasion he had come from a function at the Women's College of the Banaras Hindu University. The university is often referred to as B.H.U. and C.D. used this fact in one of his typical witty remarks. He told the women students - as students of the B.H.U. were 'Bhu-kanyas' and as such they should emulate the ideal of

He was born in AD in Ashmaka but later lived in Kusumapura, which his commentator Patna His book, the , presented astronomical and mathematical theories in which the Earth was taken to be spinning on its axis and the periods of the planets were given with respect to the sun (in other words, it was heliocentric ). This book is divided into four chapters: (i) the astronomical constants and the sine table (ii) mathematics required for computations (iii) division of time and rules for computing the longitudes of planets using eccentrics and epicycles (iv) the armillary sphere, rules relating to problems of trigonometry and the computation of eclipses. In this book, the day was reckoned from one sunrise to the next, whereas in his he took the day from one midnight to another. There was also difference in some astronomical parameters.

Extractions: I ndian history is once again centrestage. There is in some quarters a feeling that history is the most boring of subjects, consisting of long, dry lists of dynasties and the exploits of rather barbaric kings. This, unfortunately, is a result of the way history is taught in India. For it is fake history that has been manufactured by people with vested interests with the intention of keeping Indians enslaved. History is perhaps the most important of the humanities. There is nothing quite like history that can be used in positive and negative ways to affect the affairs of men. To paraphrase George Santayana, I would say, "Those who forget their history are condemned." Condemned to forever be second-class, to forever lack self-respect, to forever suffer loss of self-image. India's loss of knowledge of its history is a double disaster, because it turns out India's history is almost unimaginably lustrous: in fact, within the first order of approximation, one could claim that India invented almost everything worth knowing in the ancient world. India was, for millennia, the Empire of the Intellect, the civilization that with astonishing creativity generated more ideas than the rest of the world put together. The denigration of Indian history is a project originally put into action by colonialist Britons, who identified, correctly, that by controlling the past they would be able to control the present as well. After Independence, a cabal of Marxists has dominated the official version of history in India, and they too want to control India's present and future. They have managed to brainwash entire generations of Indians into believing that everything that originated in India is worthless.
Storytelling Science: Aryabhata And Diophantus' Son Fictionalized picture showing aryabhata at Nalanda University. It is night andthe stars are out; aryabhata also made startling contributions to astronomy. http://www.cse.iitk.ac.in/~amit/story/19_aryabhata.html
Extractions: Amitabha Mukerjee Appeared in the Hindustan Times November 2004. You are hiking through primeval forest, and suddenly you stumble across a stone block. There are creepers growing on it, but something makes you rub off the muck. Slowly, you find this cryptic message emerging : Here lies the tomb with the remains of Diophantus: artfully it tells the measure of his life. The sixth part of his life God granted him for his youth. After a twelfth more his cheeks were bearded. After an additional seventh he kindled the light of marriage, and in the fifth year he accepted a son. Alas, a dear but unfortunate child, half his father's life he had lived when chill Fate took him. He consoled his grief in the remaining four years of his life. By this devise of numbers, tell us the extent of his life. You come home, and find a book called Fermat's Last Theorem by Amir Aczel. There you see that Diophantus was a Greek philosopher from approximately 250 AD, who wrote several books of problems, all of them requiring integer solutions. After him, any problem where only integer solutions are allowed came to be known as "Diophantine Equations". Fictionalized picture showing Aryabhata at Nalanda University. It is night and the stars are out; Aryabhata also made startling contributions to astronomy.
