    Limiting Value of the Kolkata Index for Social Inequality and a Possible Social Constant Asim Ghosh1, ∗ and Bikas K Chakrabarti2, 3, 4, † 1Raghunathpur College, Raghunathpur, Purulia 723133, India. 2Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, Kolkata 700064, India. 3Economic Research Unit, Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata 700108, India. 4S. N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences, Kolkata 700106, India Based on some analytic structural properties of the Gini and Kolkata indices for social inequality, as obtained from a generic form of the Lorenz function, we make a conjecture that the limiting (effective saturation) value of the above-mentioned indices is about 0.865. This, together with some more new observations on the citation statistics of individual authors (including Nobel laureates), suggests that about 14% of people or papers or social conflicts tend to earn or attract or cause about 86% of wealth or citations or deaths respectively in very competitive situations in markets, universities or wars. This is a modified form of the (more than a) century old 80 − 20 law of Pareto in economy (not visible today because of various welfare and other strategies) and gives an universal value (0.86) of social (inequality) constant or number. I. INTRODUCTION Unlike the universal constants in physical sciences, like the Gravitational Constant of Newton’s Gravity law, Boltzmann Constant of thermodynamics or Planck’s Constant of Quantum Mechanics, there is no established universal constant yet in social sciences. There have of course been suggestion of several possible candidates. Stanley Milgram’s experiment [1] to determine the social ‘contact-distance’ between any two per- sons of the society, by trying to deliver letters from and to random people through personal chains of friends or acquaintances, suggested ‘Six Degrees of Separation’.

  • Jayant Vishnu Narlikar Jayant Narlikar Was Born on July 19, 1938 In
    Jayant Vishnu Narlikar Jayant Narlikar was born on July 19, 1938 in Kolhapur, Maharashtra and received his early education in the campus of Banaras Hindu University (BHU), where his father Vishnu Vasudeva Narlikar was Professor and Head of the Mathematics Department. His mother Sumati Narlikar was a Sanskrit scholar. After a brilliant career in school and college, Narlikar got his B.Sc. degree at BHU in 1957. He went to Cambridge for higher studies, becoming a Wrangler and Tyson Medallist in the Mathematical Tripos. He got his Cambridge degrees in mathematics: B.A.(1960), Ph.D. (1963), M.A. (1964) and Sc.D. (1976), but specialized in astronomy and astrophysics. He distinguished himself at Cambridge with the Smith’s Prize in 1962 and the Adams Prize in 1967. He later stayed on at Cambridge till 1972, as Fellow of King’s College (1963-72) and Founder Staff Member of the Institute of Theoretical Astronomy (1966-72). During this period he laid the foundations of his research work in cosmology and astrophysics in collaboration with his mentor Fred Hoyle. Narlikar returned to India to join the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (1972-1989) where under his charge the Theoretical Astrophysics Group expanded and acquired international standing. In 1988 the University Grants Commission invited him to set up the proposed Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA) as its Founder Director. He held the Directorship of IUCAA until his retirement in 2003. Under his direction IUCAA has acquired a world-wide reputation as a centre for excellence in teaching and research in astronomy and astrophysics.

University Grants Commission Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, New Delhi - 110 002 www.ugc.ac.in How to Recapture the Thrill for Basic Sciences in Higher Education JayantProf. Jayant V. Narlikar V. Narlikar Director, Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics, Pune UGC Golden Jubilee Lecture Series Chairman’s Foreword The University Grants Commission, an apex body of higher education responsible for the coordination, determination and maintenance of standards of university education in India, is celebrating its Golden Jubilee Year during 2002-2003. As part of the academic activities the UGC has conducted the ‘Golden Jubilee Lecture Series’ throughout the country by eminent individuals who have excelled in their respective fields and made a mark not only in India but abroad too. These Lectures have mostly been organized in Universities located in remote areas. The basic concept behind organizing these Lecture Series was to bring UGC closer to students, teachers and intelligentsia in that region. It is hoped that these luminaries including academicians, scientists, social scientists and others, with their rich and varied experiences have motivated and enabled the youth of the country to understand things in better perspective. To reach out to a wider audience, the UGC is presenting these lectures in the form of Golden Jubilee Lecture Series Booklets. I hope students, teachers, educational administrators and the general public at large, will benefit from the vast repository of knowledge of these achievers. Arun Nigavekar 1 IntroductionIntroduction I shall begin by narrating two episodes in Indian history.
