Book review : The Man of Numbers

The book "The Man of Numbers" and its review reiterate (for western readers) that current numerals/algebra are inherited from Hindus. It starts with an example how would be current math if west is still using Roman numerals.
One interesting thing which I read first time is "It were merchants (European) who first used Hindu numerals not mathematician , because it was very practical for their accounting".

This book is on Italian mathematician Fibonacci , how he read Hindu math and presented to Europe.

Author still mix Arabic with Hindu numerals , but I guess slowly with more open researches Arabic could be omitted.

Sanaran Dharma and Bharat hater Angana P. Chatterji

Excerpts from the book Braking India by Rajiv Malhotra  and Aravindan Neelakandan. They reveal lies of leftist historian/professors in chapter 14 of the book.   Angana P. Chatterji Angana Chatterji is associate professor of Social and Cultural Anthropology at California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), an institution that was established specifically to bring the spiritual teachings of Sri Aurobindo to the West. Ironically, she has used this position to do exactly the opposite, namely, to try to demolish the legitimacy of Indian spirituality and the Indian nation. She cites her interests as ‘identity politics, nationalisms, self-determination.’ [i] Prior to joining CIIS, she worked in policy and advocacy research at the Indian Social Institute, which is run by Jesuits in Delhi, for the explicit purpose of propagating ‘Christian inspiration and following the social teaching of the Catholic Church.’ [ii] Chatterji provided ‘critical assistance’ to a highly libelous and unsubstant

Maharan Pratap's biographies online

Image
Maha Rana Pratap Singh (1540-1597) was a Hindu King of Mewar who is remembered for his spirit of independence, patriotism and other exemplary qualities. Rana Pratap scorned comfort and luxury when they had to be bought at the cost of his independence. While Persia and England, Baghdad and Arabia felt honoured in sending costly embassies to the court of the Great Mughal, Rana Pratap was content with sending his word of defiance. And the result? “There is not a pass in the Alpine Aravalli that is not sanctified by some deed of Rana Pratap, some brilliant victory or more glorious defeat.” What a sight it must have been, Rana Pratap against the might of Akbar! In the collective memory of the Hindus, Rana Pratap has got a place along with Sivaji and Ranjit Singh; and along with them he proved that not even centuries of Mohammadan domination could kill the spirit out of a proud race. Thanks to Digital Library of India, now, we have access to various biographies of heroes like Rana Pratap

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. Following three places are ideal for Indian troops: 1) Taiwan 2)
