IndiaShining: Mahabharatacontd
Vyasa appears for the first time as the author of, and an important character in the Mahabharata. It is impossible to point out if or when the 'historical' Vyasa lived, or to disentangle a possible factual story from any non-factual elements contained in the epic....There is some evidence however that writing may have been known to Vyasa based on archeological findings of styli in the Painted Grey Ware culture, dated between 1100 BC and 700 BC. and archeological evidence of the Brahmi script being used from at least 600 BC.discuss | | category: IndiaShining | Content type: Text/Pictures | Add this link to... | tell a friend | bakwaas
IndiaShining: The Epics. History, Tradition, and Myth-MAHABHARATA
The Mahabharata, translated as “Great India”, or “the great tale of the Bharata Dynasty”, is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India, the other being the Ramayana. It is the longest epic poem in the world consisting about one hundred thousand verses, plus long prose passages, or some 1.8 million words in total. Tthe Mahabharata is roughly ten times the length of the Iliad and Odyssey combined, or about four times the length of the Ramayana. The epic is part of the Hindu itihasa (or “history”).discuss | | category: IndiaShining | Content type: Text/Pictures | Add this link to... | tell a friend | bakwaas

IndiaShining: Materialism
While life is yours, live joyously; None can escape Death's searching eye: When once this frame of ours they burn, How shall it e'er again return? Materialism is a Nastika system based on materialistic and atheist school of thought and was founded in approximately 500BC. It is also known as Lokāyata. It is named after its founder, Charvaka, author of the Bārhaspatya-sūtras. we do not find any systematic work on materialism, nor any organised school of followers as the other philosophical schools possess. Our knowledge of Indian materialism or Charvaka philosophy is fragmentary, and is based largely on criticism of the ideas by other schools.discuss | | category: IndiaShining | Content type: Text/Pictures | Add this link to... | tell a friend | bakwaas

IndiaShining: India is morphing into a global R&D hub, but can it ever take on Silicon Valley?
When Americans think of the Indian technology sector, they still perceive a nation of call center workers and low-level computer programmers administering databases and updating websites. But while the West was sleeping, Indian IT morphed into a giant R&D machine. Indian companies that started out doing call center and low-level IT work have climbed the value chain to become outsourced providers of critical R&D in sophisticated areas such as semiconductor design, aerospace, automotive, network equipment and medical devices.

LetsDiscuss: Tension grows between China and India as Asia slips into cold war
You have to go to a tropical paradise to find the latest front in the brewing cold war between China and India. On the southernmost tip of the Maldives lies the island of Gan, a tiny patch of coconut palms and powdery white beaches. It was here that Britain set up a secret naval base in 1941, building airstrips and vast fuel tanks to support its fleet in the Indian Ocean during the Second World War.

Masti: Napoleon complex
Talk about a Napoleon complex. A newly discovered orb weaving spider from southern Africa has been named as the largest of its kind in the world – but males of the species are only a quarter the size of the females. ..... The Napoleon complex is named after French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. The conventional wisdom is that Napoleon overcompensated for his short height by seeking power, war and conquest. However, Napoleon was actually of average height for his time period and misconceptions may have been due to an incorrect conversion of his height;
