Have you seen the real India?

                   Have you seen the real India?

India which holds all its diversities with grace who's lifestyle, food, culture has a variety no other country offers is indeed a great country. But if you ask a tourist (an Indian or not) that what are the places to visit in India his answer will be Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Goa,Chennai, Kashmir, Kerala and a few other hill stations etc. But is this the real India? Visiting the tourist places can you actually say that you've seen the entire India? No, definitely not!!!

Well built buildings and even roads? Nah! that's definitely not India's thing. I've been to many places in India some of which are not even the most visited places and I've got to say that the life of people living in the rural areas of India is entirely different from those living in the concrete urban cities. Like the ones living in cities, their morning isn't as simple as a bowl of cornflakes and a backpack that is in a hurry to go to work but instead it is the man of the house carrying his tools and going to his fields while the woman running and fighting to get water for her home and the children playing with stick and wheel. 

The real India knows nothing about the complexity of the world, it is engulfed by the problems of its own.
 I visited a village named Galiakot and I stayed there for about a week for religious purposes. Early in the morning, the milkman would bring milk not in packets but in those steel cans- fresh and healthy. After the men left for work, all women sitting together and cutting vegetables while the children, some in school while others running around doing nothing. 
Such is life that they do not care about GST or petrol prices but their main aim is to earn enough money to get food at night.
Yes, you are right India is still developing and there can be no exact estimation when it will be fully developed but still India is just beautiful the way it is and India beats in the heart of every Indian! 
So, to all those who wish to see India, just like a good friend of mine, just don't visit the monuments but instead go to places where Indians live and see their lives, experience their lifestyle because they make India! the real India!!

The glorious Sidhpur

                          THE GLORIOUS SIDHPUR! Definitely, not your kind of place! that is what you must be thinking... but let me tell you that this place is not just a small town in Gujrat, it has a rich history behind it. This place is my native place -SIDHPUR. This place can be called a masterpiece constructed by Indian artisans. Sidhpur, a small almost forgotten town of Gujrat, still has a lot to offer to those who seek for  it. I recently visited Sidhpur in November. It was very cold yet pleasant. We stayed in my ancestral house.These houses are more than 100 years old and still intact. The mind boggling work of art performed by the artists on the walls pillars and every brick of the building sets a caliber hard to reach.  These buildings are not some two storey flats but castles! I lived in one such castle built in the time of my great grandfather. The life of the people in this town is qu...

Indian mathematics

It is without  doubt that mathematics today owes a huge debt to the outstanding contributions made by Indian mathematicians over hundreds of years. "Huge debt" is the beautiful number system invented by the indians on which much of mathematical development has rested. histories of indian mathematicians use to begin b describing the geometry contained in the subha sutras but the research into the history of indian mathematics has shown that the essentials of this geometry were older being contained in the altar constructions describe in the vedic mythology text the Shatopatha Brahmana  and the Terittiriya samhita. The subha sutras were composed by Bandhayana(about 800 BC),Manava(about 750 BC), Apastamba(about 600BC) and Katyayana (about 200BC). There is another scholar, who was Panini who achieved remarkable results in his studies of sanskrit grammar.  now one might resonably ask what sanskrit grammar has to do with mathematics.  It certainly has something ...
