Shekhar Kapur Am sorry! But William Dalrymple makes multiple errors of very serious nature! - BrahmaGupta in 628 AD was NOT d first to treat ZERO as a number & it was NOT "till then treated as a dot!" - In Lalita Vistara, Buddha's Father in law asks him what is 10 raiseD to power 43 in ~600BC!/2
Shekhar Kapur William Dalrymple He condescendingly says that west knows nothing about Indian sages who were of "equal stature" as the Greeks! Equality my foot! - How can u compare the Greeks who had 10,000 (called Myriad) as their biggest Number name to Indians who, as Buddha's story shows - had 10 to per 43??
Horrifying! Hindu youth brutally lynched to death by muslim mob in Bangladesh in presence of Police and Army on charges of blasphemy! Shame on Bangladeshi PM mohammad Yunus Muhammad Yunus for encouraging such violent crimes against minority Hindus in his nation . Hindus are
Haven't read the book. But if quote accurate, neither Shekhar Kapur nor William Dalrymple seem to know abc of ganita/math or its history. Story tellers hoping to cash on prevailing sentiment. Place value system since Yajurveda 17.2. (pic). Zero as a number needed for place value:
Raghava Krishna | రాఘవ కృష్ణ youtu.be/oaElY4N0rPc?fe… Dr Bhaskar Kamble has written a comprehensive book on Hindu Mathematics and published it. Lokagatha was one of the first channels to interview him. I honestly think there is a problem with Hindus. They just don’t want to understand their own history.
Raghava Krishna | రాఘవ కృష్ణ Bhaskar Kamble Now William Dalrymple has written a book. He’s not done it out of goodness of his heart. He knows this book will sell well due to the cultural churn happening at home. That’s all.
Ajey Raghava Krishna | రాఘవ కృష్ణ Bhaskar Kamble Prof Ramasubramaniam, M D Srinivas, and M S Sriram have translated Jyesṭadeva's "Gaṇita Yukti Bhāṣā" to English way back in 2009. This is a text of great importance as it consolidates a lot of ideas from the Kerala school of Mathematics and provides mathematical proofs 1/2
Ajey Raghava Krishna | రాఘవ కృష్ణ Bhaskar Kamble The translation is scholarly, with proper references, copious amounts of footnotes. But how often do you see it being cited in the modern academic discourse on Calculus and Trigonometry ? That should tell you that the quality of work has very little to do with its popularity 2/2.
open.substack.com/pub/bhaskarkam… Bhaskar Kamble writes about his experience through the horrific Covid-19 pandemic. Some drastic revelations about government policy around the time should leave us all concerned that the manipulation of public happens at such a large scale!
