The detector is a 4-km arm-length Michelson Interferometer with Fabry-Perot enhancement arms, and aims to detect fractional changes in the arm-length smaller than 10-23 Hz-1/2 . The task of constructing this very sophisticated detector at the limits of present day technology is facilitated by the amazing opportunity offered by the LIGO Laboratory and its international partners to provide the complete design and all the key components required to build the detector as part of the collaboration.

Preface India has a rich tradition of intellectual inquiry and a textual heritage that goes back to several hundreds of years. India was magnificently advanced in knowledge traditions and practices during the ancient and medieval times. The intellectual achievements of Indian thought are found across several fields of study in ancient Indian texts ranging from the Vedas and the Upanishads to a whole range of scriptural, philosophical, scientific, technical and artistic sources. As knowledge of India's traditions and practices has become restricted to a few erudite scholars who have worked in isolation, CBSE seeks to introduce a course in which an effort is made to make it common knowledge once again. Moreover, during its academic interactions and debates at key meetings with scholars and experts, it was decided that CBSE may introduce a course titled ‘Knowledge Traditions and Practices of India’ as a new Elective for classes XI - XII from the year 2012-13. It has been felt that there are many advantages of introducing such a course in our education system.

  • Jean-Sylvain Bailly's History of Indian Astronomy
    Revue d’histoire des math´ematiques, 9 (2003), p. 253–306. BETWIXT JESUIT AND ENLIGHTENMENT HISTORIOGRAPHY: JEAN-SYLVAIN BAILLY'S HISTORY OF INDIAN ASTRONOMY Dhruv RAINA (*) ABSTRACT. — The crystallization of scientific disciplines in late eighteenth-century Europe was accompanied by the proliferation of specialist histories of science. These histories were framed as much by the imperatives of the astronomy of the times as they were by the compulsions of disciplinary differentiation. This paper attempts to contextualise the engagement with the astronomy of India in the histories of astronomy authored in the eighteenth century by the astronomer Jean-Sylvain Bailly. While Bailly’s history of astronomy is not considered very highly among historians of science, the key themes that were to engage the concerns of historians of astronomy working on India for the next century were already in place in Bailly’s history. The paper traces the influence of Jesuit historiography of India on the landscape of French Enlightenment historiography – and in particular on Bailly’s quaint antediluvian theory of the origins of Indian astronomy. The reception of Bailly’s theory of Indian astronomy is also read in context. Consequently, it is argued that in the historiography of Indian astronomy, Bailly’s history marks a liminal moment before the binary dichotomies of the history of science framed the history of Oriental astronomy.

  • Father of Modern Astronomy in India
    Proc. of AP Akademi of Sciences VO~.6, NO.2,2002, pp.79-86. FATHER OF MODERN ASTRONOMY IN INDIA G.S.D. BABU Vainu Bappu Observatory, Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Kavalur, Tamilnadu- 635 701 The life of Vainu Bappu will stand out as a memorable event in the history of Astronomy in India. He came into this world with apurpose. Although he had to leave before it could be fully achieved, he created the necessary infrastructure and atmosphere for the future scientists of his country to regain lost glory in the oldest of its sciences. Manali Kallat Vainu Bappu was born on August 10,1927. His ancestors hailed from Cannanore, but several members of his family had migrated to Mangalore and nearby places. Vainu's father, Man& Kakuzhi Bappu, had joinedNizamiah Observatory and settled down in Hyderabad. Vainu had his school and College education in Hyderabad. His gift of oratory and writing skills from a very early age evoked wide spread admiration among his school teachers. Vainu apparently inherited this quality from his parents. His mother's elder brother, Rao Bahadur U Shankunnywas a famous literateur and orator; another brother U. Balakrishnan, a headmaster, was known foryears to have cultivated the love of reading in his students. In the College, he was instrumental in running the magazine and organising scientific activities. He became the secretary of the College's Physics Association, and was most active in arranging meetings andlectures. He was an ardent admirer of scientists and was bent on becoming one later. In 1943, when Sir C V Raman delivered a series of lectures in Hyderabad, Vainu did not miss a single word; for this purpose, he had to cycle ten miles each way daily after his classes.

  • Ancient Indian Astronomy and the Aryan Invasion Theory
    Indian Journal of History of Science, 46.4 (2011) 573-610 ANCIENT INDIAN ASTRONOMY AND THE ARYAN INVASION THEORY T R S PRASANNA* (Received 16 June, 2011; revised 4 November 2011) – Astronomical references in ancient Vedic (Brahman. a and – Sam. hita) texts do not support the Aryan Invasion Theory (AIT) as proposed by western Sanskrit scholars more than 150 years ago.We have examined this issue and present a comprehensive analysis relating to the key astronomical references only and find that they consistently lead to 3000 BC, in contrast to AIT dates to 800 BC. Various shortcomings are highlighted in the process as to the western Sanskrit scholars’ – interpretations of verses on ekas..taka leading to 3000 BC: the references to Pha–lguna full moon marking new year which could only be dated to 3000 BC (new year at winter solstice) or 1200 AD (new year at spring) and nowhere near 800 BC and other facts. The errors in known methods of observations are also examined and estimated. Key words: Ancient Indian astronomy, Eka–staka, Krttika–, – .. Rohin.i, Gnomon, Measurement, Observation 1. INTRODUCTION Nineteenth century European scholars recognized the close similarities between Sanskrit and European languages, now called Indo-European languages. Based only on this similarity and without any hard evidence [Klostermaier 2007], they proposed the Aryan Invasion Theory which claimed that Aryan tribes invaded India about 1500 BC. The R. g Veda is the oldest text. Later Vedic texts, – – Sam. hitas and Brahman. as are dated to 1000-800 BC. AIT has always been controversial and many scholars from the 19th century onwards have opposed it [Bryant 2001, Klostermaier 2007].

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT The research upon this thesis is based was carried out from October 1973 to March 1975, and from January to March 1980, in the village of Singhara (a pseudonym), Jabalpur District, Madhya Pradesh state (see map 1., p.viii). Although situated in middle India, Singhara1s culture and social morphology are.fairly typical of north India. This is mainly because the villagers, with the significant exception of its tribal (Gond) population (the original inhabitants of the region), are all descended from immigrants who came into the area from the north in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The thesis has two parts: 1) an examination of traditional caste values (chapters 3-7) and 2) a description and discussion of aspects of the modern political and economic life of the village (chapters 2, 8 and part of chapter 1).
