The Egg Drop Problem chandrahasblogs.wordpress.co…

Do u know the binary number system was developed in India? So was Algebra ! Baudahyana’s Sulbasutra predates Pythagoras theorem! Finally got my copy & a lovely coffee mug; lucky me!!! Thank you @chalai71 Meru Prastaar: The Wonder World of Indian Mathematics by Chandrahas M Hala

Birthplace of veer Savarkar at Bhagur and the Birthplace of his mentor Shri Shyamji Krishna Verma at Mandvi

Kailasa was just scanned with lasers, and if you haven’t been following this place, hold on. What’s being uncovered here won’t just rewrite Indian history. It could rewrite human history and prove Ancient India had tools far more advanced than we’ve been told. But first, you have to understand what you’re looking at. Kailasa wasn’t built. It was removed from the side of a mountain. That means there was no room for mistakes while carving one of the hardest rocks on Earth. Between 200,000 and 400,000 tons of basalt were removed to create it. The first mystery is simple: we don’t know where it all went. We also don’t truly know when it was built. The main dating sources are two land grants, but that doesn’t tell us when the actual carving began. Dating matters because it would tell us what tools they had. Ancient India had steel by 600 BC, which later became the famous Damascus steel. But basalt is hardened lava. It’s around a 6 on the Mohs scale, meaning steel barely scratches it. In 1682, a Mughal emperor ordered 1,000 workers to destroy Kailasa. They failed. That alone shows how hard this stone is. Even with modern alloys, humans barely make a dent. Russian researchers tested this by having people strike basalt with modern tools, then measuring the removed volume with photogrammetry. The result? One person working every day for 3 years could remove only about 1 cubic meter. And since Kailasa is unfinished, we still have tool marks. Those marks show cuts deeper than what modern hydraulic breakers can achieve. To penetrate basalt that deeply, we’d normally need huge machinery. But machines that size wouldn’t fit in many of these spaces. So clearly, they had different tools. Not just powerful tools. Precision tools. The detail in Kailasa’s carvings looks like work done in soft soapstone, except it’s carved into basalt. What we know for sure is that our assumptions about ancient India are wrong. At minimum, they were far more advanced than we give them credit for. At most, something was happening back then that we still don’t fully comprehend.

"Following her death, her husband approached members of the Parsi community and requested that her final rites be conducted according to Parsi customs... Community leaders reportedly rejected the request. He then approached caretakers of a Muslim graveyard ... but this request was also denied. As a result, her body remained in the hospital morgue for two days ..." "A cousin of the deceased told The Indian Express that appeals were made to community leaders, but permission was refused. With no resolution in sight, the husband sought help from social worker and Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Sajan Bharwad. Bharwad proposed that, with the family's consent, the body be cremated according to Hindu rites..." "On Friday, the body was taken to a crematorium... Several close relatives of both the woman and her husband attended the cremation ceremony. The ashes were later handed over to the husband by crematorium authorities. Bharwad said he intervened on humanitarian grounds after learning that both communities had declined to perform the final rites..."

Remember when Rakesh Jhunjhunwala bashed Prabhu Chawla for his remarks : ‘Poor have become poorer in India’ 😂 “Which poor person has become poor? My servant has a bank account now, he has a passport. He sends his money to his family in village.” “10 years ago, he used to spend Rs. 200 to transfer Rs. 10,000 and it took 7 days, now he transfers money in half hour. He has got mobile phone, he can speak on video call with his children.” “Earlier we used to beg from USA for wheat, today we are producing wheat in surplus.” - Rakesh Jhunjhunwala. 2021
