Vedic Mathematics : Shulba Sutras

From research paper "Applied Geometry of the Sulba Sutras" by John F. Price The Sulba Sutras, part of the Vedic literature of India,describe many geometrical properties and constructions such as the classical relationship           a 2 +b 2 =c 2 between the sides of a right-angle triangle and arithmetical formulas such as calculating the square root of two accurate to five decimal places. Although this article presents some of these constructions,its main purpose is to show how to consider each of the main Sulba SDtras as a finely crafted, integrated manual for the construction of citis or ceremonial platforms. Certain key words, however, suggest that the applications go far beyond this. Paper "Square Roots in the Sulbasutra" by  David W. Henderson can be read here .

How to counter China's aggression against India?

Chinese aggression against India: China learns electronically each time India reacts to border threats. India should never reveal the actual war response or escalation ladder to China.  Once India reacts, next time China will come back fully prepared. So, Indian response should be different each time and NEVER the same as actual war response. It's like a card game. If I know your moves because I have played the game so many times with you and I know how you respond, I can beat you easily. According to the current Chinese plan, they are preparing go for a shock and awe against India in a real conflict. It means in a matter of 1-hour, 250 airfields in India will be bombed with missiles and Indian Air Force will become non operational. If there any counter strategy? The counter plan is to keep Indian troops and nuclear armed submarines around Taiwan all the time, so they can hit Beijing and Shanghai as a second response.

Intellectual Warrior: Sitaram Goel

3 दिसम्बर/पुण्य-तिथि                     बौद्धिक योद्धा सीताराम गोयल विदेशी और हिंसा पर आधारित वामपंथी विचारधारा को बौद्धिक धरातल पर चुनौती देने वालों में श्री सीताराम गोयल का नाम प्रमुख है। यद्यपि पहले वे स्वयं कम्यूनिस्ट ही थे; पर उसकी असलियत समझने के बाद उन्होंने उसके विरुद्ध झंडा उठा लिया। इसके साथ ही वे अपनी लेखनी से इस्लाम और ईसाई मिशनरियों के देशघातक षड्यन्त्रों के विरुद्ध भी देश को जाग्रत करते रहे। 16 अक्टूबर, 1921 में जन्मे श्री सीताराम जी मूलतः हरियाणा के निवासी थे। उनकी जीवन-यात्रा नास्तिकता, आर्य समाजी, गांधीवादी और वामंपथी से प्रखर और प्रबुद्ध हिन्दू तक पहुंची। इसमें रामस्वरूप जी की मित्रता ने निर्णायक भूमिका निभाई। इस बारे में उन्होंने एक पुस्तक ‘मैं हिन्दू क्यों बना ?’ भी लिखी। वामपंथ के खोखलेपन को उजागर करने के लिए सीताराम जी ने उसके गढ़ कोलकाता में ‘सोसायटी फाॅर दि डिफेन्स आॅफ फ्रीडम इन एशिया’ नामक मंच तथा ‘प्राची प्रकाशन’ की स्थापना की। 1954 में कोलकाता के पुस्...
