history of computers in India (Bharat, Hindustan)

The Indian grammarian Panini wrote the Ashtadhyayi in the 5th Century BCE. In this work he created 3,959 rules of grammar for India’s Sanskrit language. This important work is the oldest surviving linguistic book and introduced the idea of metarules, transformations, and recursions, all of which have important applications in computer science. (See history of programming language)

Augustus De Morgan was born in India in 1806. De Morgan provided the first clear explanation of mathematical induction, made fundamental contributions to symbolic logic, including the notations he used for the laws of propositinal equivalences named for him, and created the first precise definition of a limit.

Gandhi and the Nobel Prize

Mahatma Gandhi was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1937, 1938, 1939, 1947, and 1948. Gandhi was on the short list in 1937, 1947, and 1948.

The first nominations were rejected out of racial prejudice against Indians.

In 1948, Gandhi was going to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, but was assassinated. The committee considered awarding the prize under special posthumous rules, but decided to instead give no award on the grounds that there was no suitable living candidate.

I am calling for this injustice to be corrected and for the 1948 Nobel Peace Prize to be awarded to Mahatma Gandhi.

United Nations Security Council

The United Natons Security Council has five permanent members, each of whom has veto power. They are: the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, and China.

I propose that there are five additional nations that must also be granted permanent seats on the United Nations Security Council: India, Germany, Brazil, Japan, and Egypt.

India is the second most populous nation in the world and one of the oldest civilization on the entire planet. To exclude India is a mockery.

Germany is a bigger and more influential economy than either Great Britain or France and was the nation where the industrial revolution started. The only reason they are excluded is because of bad timing in that they were on the losing side in World War II.

Japan is one of the most important economies in the world and has been a major industrial power for well more than a century. The only reason they are excluded is because of bad timing in that they were on the losing side in World War II.

Brazil is the largest economy and most populous nation in Latin America. That Europe has three permanent members (UK, France, and Russia) and Asia has two permanent members (China and Russia) and North America with only three nations has one permanent member, but all of Central America and all of South America have zero representatives is a mockery.

Egypt is the most populous Arab nation and second most populous African nation. Egypt has long been a leader in modern Middle East affairs and is one of the oldest civilizations on the entire planet. That Europe has three permanent members (UK, France, and Russia) and Asia has two permanent members (China and Russia) and North America with only three nations has one permanent member, but all of Africa have zero representatives and their are no Muslim representatives is a mockery.
