  • Another Global History of Science: Making Space for India and China
    BJHS: Themes 1: 115–143, 2016. © British Society for the History of Science 2016. This is an Open Access article, distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution licence (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted re-use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. doi:10.1017/bjt.2016.4 First published online 22 March 2016 Another global history of science: making space for India and China ASIF SIDDIQI* Abstract. Drawing from recent theoretical insights on the circulation of knowledge, this article, grounded in real-world examples, illustrates the importance of ‘the site’ as an analytical heur- istic for revealing processes, movements and connections illegible within either nation-centred histories or comparative national studies. By investigating place instead of project, the study reframes the birth of modern rocket developments in both China and India as fundamentally intertwined within common global networks of science. I investigate four seemingly discon- nected sites in the US, India, China and Ukraine, each separated by politics but connected and embedded in conduits that enabled the flow of expertise during (and in some cases despite) the Cold War. By doing so, it is possible to reconstruct an exemplar of a kind of global history of science, some of which takes place in China, some in India, and some else- where, but all of it connected. There are no discrete beginnings or endings here, merely points of intervention to take stock of processes in action. Each site produces objects and knowledge that contribute to our understanding of the other sites, furthering the overall narra- tive on Chinese and Indian efforts to formalize a ‘national’ space programme.

One of the important contribution to this feat is precise orbit estimation. Mars Orbiter Mission was launched on 5th November 2013 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota, India by India's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle PSLV-C25. The spacecraft was placed in an elliptical orbit of 248.4 X 23550 km around Earth. MOM revolved about 25 days around the Earth and performed six maneuvers to achieve the escape velocity. After a sequence of five Earth bound maneuvers, the satellite apogee was raised to 190000 km, and through Trans Mars Injection on 30th November, 2013 the spacecraft was allowed to escape Earth sphere of influence and was put into Mars Transfer Trajectory orbit around Sun.

    Arts and Philanthropy Art is a universal language where visual expression evokes raw emotions and is thus an effective medium of conveying the very important message of peace “and harmony. Indeed, powerful images of paintings can leave an everlasting impact on peoples’ minds. Unlike words which are spoken, heard and sometimes forgotten, art on canvas stays forever and so does the message it conveys. — Satish Kumar Modi at the Inaugural Ceremony of the UNESCO Global Forum on the ‘Power of Peace’ ”at Bali, Indonesia. (cover image) — ‘Golden Life’, oil on canvas by Deepak Kumar, student of Final Year, Fine Art, IIFA Inspired by Lord Buddha’s life and teachings, the artist has tried to convey the fact that thoughts based on truthfulness, love and compassion — the ‘golden thoughts’— enable a person to lead a life full of peace, contentment and happiness — a ‘golden life’.
