INDIA MAY HAVE PROVED PYTHAGORAS THEOREM BEFORE GREECE

Excerpts (http://tinyurl.com/pr7pjke)

The writing of history is a social process where evidence is gathered and then considered judgements made. There is no dispute amongst historians of science that Baudhayana in around 800 BCE in his Shulba Sutra, nearly three centuries before Pythagoras, stated the theorem and also provided a geometrical proof. In another early Shulba Sutra, credited to Apastamba, a numerical proof is also provided.

The Greek proof of the theorem is generally credited to Euclid who lived around 300 BCE and Pythagoras's discovery of the theorem is just an oral tradition. It is believed that Pythagoras who was born on the island of Samos travelled to many countries including Egypt, and possibly India, and some see him as one who brought Indian ideas to Greece.

What are the Shulba Sutras? They are manuals related to geometric and algebraic constructions of the altars on which the vedic ritual was performed. These altars were to be designed to different shapes and sizes and they required the solution to various geometric problems including those of equating a circular area of a certain radius to that of a square area. In other words, the 'Rishis' who did the Shulba not only knew the Pythagoras theorem but they also had knowledge of pi and iterative techniques.

Revelations through the article that can be accessed through above URL, definitely makes us feel proud of our glorious past. MHRD, NCERT, Ministry of Culture, Freelance Researchers and historians must make every effort in digging out the facts and have the Text Books rewritten to give due credit to our past wherever needed.

DISGUSTING DEMAND OF RUPEES 15 LAKHS IN INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS

DISGUSTING DEMAND OF RUPEES 15 LAKHS IN INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS

It is painful and disgusting to see politicians asking shamelessly an amount of Rs15 lakhs each in their personal accounts. It is impossible to believe that such people have guts to contest elections and make policies for the country. They have no wisdom; they don’t even know that every rupee of black money recovered can’t be distributed to individuals. It belongs to the Government.

I request all politicians who atleast are having honesty of purpose to request the Election Commission to BAN such politicians with corrupt thinking for life from contesting any election or holding any public office.

I also request everyone to share this as much as possible till Election Commission takes note of this. How can immature self-certified corrupt politicians be allowed to enter public life?

People themselves are also equally responsible for electing such corrupt politicians. I appeal to the people of India not to get divided on the basis of caste, religion, language and vote only for NATIONAL ISSUES. Come and let us join to make everyone’s life prosperous, safe and enjoyable. JUST BOYCOTT SUCH UNSCRUPULOUS POLITICIANS.

THINKING RESPONSIBLE FOR POOR PER CAPITA INCOME AND LACK OF INFRASTRUCTURE

THINKING RESPONSIBLE FOR POOR PER CAPITA INCOME AND LACK OF INFRASTRUCTURE

This is one of the major reasons for poor per capita income and lack of infrastructure facilities in the country. This is the reason that we by and large keep looking towards West for everything we need.

Our industries have not flourished due to this concept. Failed / poor / very slow industrial growth and infrastructure development ultimately leads to a failed nation.

It is high time we should rise to the occasion.

TIME FOR EDUCATED (NOT LITERATE) PERSONS TO MANAGE THE COUNTRY

TIME FOR EDUCATED (NOT LITERATE) PERSONS TO MANAGE THE COUNTRY

We all educated must think seriously (It is the need of the hour). The first step is to ensure 100% guaranteed defeat for all those POLITICIANS who file papers from more than one constituency. This is the proof that all such politicians are not contesting to serve you but they are contesting to serve themselves. Jago Indians Jago.

Else make election impossible by filing as many independent candidates (may be all voters) against such politicians. Election Commission will find it impossible to conduct election in any of the constituencies from where such OPPORTUNISTIC politicians file papers.

“MEAT IS NO GUARANTEE FOR SUPERIOR STRENGTH”.

“MEAT IS NO GUARANTEE FOR SUPERIOR STRENGTH”.

Even milk is not required for power. Look at VEGAN mammals like Elephant, Rhino, Wild Buffalo, and Gorilla. They are stronger than the strongest meat eater, the African Lion. Other strong Vegans are Horse, Bull, Ox, Domestic Buffalo etc.

The STRONGEST MAN in the World is a VEGAN, PATRIK BABOUMIAN

Vegetarian and vegan diets provide adequate protein when menu planning focuses on how much your body needs and which plant foods provide this essential nutrient. Protein is made of amino acids which are the building blocks for our muscles and many other structures in the body. So it is important to consume a wide variety of protein-rich plant foods in meals. As such VEGAN animals are not deficient in Protiens.

Moving Further Back into history we have The ROMAN GLADIATORS, which throughout history have always been referred as the "Strongest Men in Recorded History", but why were they so strong?

Well, maybe it was the fact that they were also called "Barley Men", pointing to their diet, they only ate fruits, veggies, and nuts. They were VEGANS. Vegans have always been around, even in Jesus's day.

Alexander conquered the known world of his time eating primarily corn and rye. Genghis Khan and his men were fuelled on starch as well.

Archaeologists recently unearthed a burial site in Turkey containing the bodies of 60 Roman gladiators. Tests to their remains led researchers to conclude that the gladiators all ate an exclusively-plant-based diet. In fact, they used the word "vegan" to describe the gladiators.

Excess consumption of red meat increases the risk of heart disease, certain cancers, and other disorders. As a result, health-conscious people are eating more fruit, vegetables, and fish, and are staying away from beef. With all the benefits attributed to plant foods, one might think that vegetarians enjoy a huge life-span advantage over meat eaters.

We reviewed the published scientific literature and uncovered some surprising data relating to diet and longevity. As one would expect, most studies show that those who consume lots of red meat have higher disease rates. Red meat not only predisposes people to lethal illness, but meat eaters also have increased risks of ailments such as appendicitis, chronic inflammation, and kidney disease.

A huge volume of scientific data confirms the protective role of fruits and vegetables on human health. So the question is, do people who eat only fruits and vegetables-and no meat-live significantly longer?

Unexpected Findings

Vegetarians suffer fewer heart attacks than meat eaters. Interestingly, this benefit dissipates as vegetarians age. For instance, one study showed that vegetarians under the age of 65 were 45% less likely to suffer a heart attack than were meat eaters. Once vegetarians reached the age of 80, however, their heart attack risk was only 8% lower than that of meat eaters.
