Guest guest Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 The study by R. Balasubramaniam of the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, and reported in the latest issue of Current Science, has for the first time shown that the unit of length called 'angulam' - mentioned in Kautilya's treatise on statecraft " Arthasastra " dated 300 BC -- was used without a break in India for over 3,900 years. The ancient 'angulam' has been found to be equal to 1.763 modern centimetres, according to Balasubramaniam, a professor of materials and metallurgical engineering. He has carried out dimensional analysis of some of India's historical structures, built during different times, to identify the measuring units used in their engineering plans. He says he was surprised that 'angulam' and its multiples 'vitasti' (12 angulams) and 'dhanus' (108 angulams) have been used as the unit of measurement right from the Harappan times - the highly developed civilization that thrived for a few centuries on the floodplains of the Indus river in what is now northwest India and Pakistan - till the pre-modern era when the Taj was built. Balasubramaniam, who last year studied the dimensions of the 1,600-year-old Delhi Iron Pillar at the Qutub Minar complex, found that 'angulam' and its multiple 'dhanus' were used as the basic units of length in its design. For example, the total height of the pillar is exactly 4 dhanus, Balasubramaniam told IANS. Now in a paper published in Current Science, Balasubramaniam has shown that the modular plan of the Taj Mahal complex is based on use of grids of sides measuring 60 and 90 vitasti. He says the study has established that the design and architecture of the Taj is based on traditional Indian units codified in " Arthasastra " and that " there is nothing foreign " in its design. " The fact that the unit of angulam of 1.763 cm could match very well the dimensions of historical monuments establishes the continuity of India's engineering tradition through the ages for as long as 3,900 years, " says Balasubramaniam in his paper. " With the new knowledge we can analyse all the important ancient structures in India, " he says, and hopes the findings " will open a new chapter in the study of metrology (science of measurements) " . But how did the angulam tradition remain unbroken for so long? As quoted in the website of Nature India, Balasubramaniam believes the workers from the Harappan days were perhaps using some kind of scale " that was handed over through generations " .

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Dear Kulbir, It would be better if you try to know what were Qutub Minar complex, Taj Mahal originally. If one understands these truths, there won't be any cause for such surprises. The only thing we Indians, Our Political leaders and Government needs is the Guts to say it loud. While every other country is proud of cultural heritage and does everything to preserve it, We are probably the only nation on the face of earth that twists the truth on account of opportunistic Poly-Tricks.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Dear Members, Units of measurements depending on the impact of the Vedic sciences both weights and measures have been undergoing changes..Cultures dependent on rulers andkingdoms in the past have been changing. For archaelogical purposes,some of these findings may link with past .yet as delhit I have noticed no proper worth to Indian credit has not so far could come to light how Kutub Minar was constructed and such fine iron or steel could be manufactured, brough and errected in Delhi. It is still a structure having relevance on atronomy an dother scientific features.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Dear Kulbir, This thread is moving away from Astrology and related fields. So I don't want write much. Yet, America was once a colony of British empire just like India. However they fought their way to Independence, much before Us. So each an every American knows the value of Independence. They bring up their children with that passion of being American & independent. India did not get independence due to someone sitting sathyagraha. India got it because British did not had any other way. It had already plundered India and almost got everything it wanted (riches) and was also slowly loosing to freedom fighters etc. You shall know the truth if you search for letters written by the British resident governors to the queen and other higher authorities. But the fact is we, hide the reality willfully Just as we hide the reality behind the two structures you had mentioned. Since, you have known the reality underneath these structures, where is the surprise that it conforms to the same standard of Angulam? Also try to find the map of the world in ancient times. You will be even more surprised.

So I don't want write much. Yet, America was once a colony of British empire just like India. However they fought their way to Independence, much before Us. So each an every American knows the value of Independence. They bring up their children with that passion of being American & independent. India did not get independence due to someone sitting sathyagraha. India got it because British did not had any other way. It had already plundered India and almost got everything it wanted (riches) and was also slowly loosing to freedom fighters etc. You shall know the truth if you search for letters written by the British resident governors to the queen and other higher authorities. But the fact is we, hide the reality willfully Just as we hide the reality behind the two structures you had mentioned. Since, you have known the reality underneath these structures, where is the surprise that it conforms to the same standard of Angulam? Also try to find the map of the world in ancient times.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Dear Shri Suresh Ji,Shri Prashant ji and members,, we r more cynical in our thoughts .we dig things where we can apply little ourselves.what ever it is today we feel and experience.Past is evidently picture of changing society,culture and technology,which no one can stop. Paunjab is not paying pensions.Miday meals r not going to school children.health benifits r not reaching r in no way our concern.whether naxals and maoists r right or not v have nothing to judge here. we r very much worried of future and can evolve a pattern by way of past repetition or other wise bring an element of satisfaction and comfort,that is what is necessary to expose. It all started with research on metric system and leading else where. we, hide the reality willfully Just as we hide the reality behind the two structures you had mentioned. Vattem Krishnan Cyber Jyotish Services(For all counseling services)Dr.B.V.Raman " Fools Obey Planets While  Wisemen Can Control Them " Planets are neutral Controllers of Mans Karma --- On Wed, 3/17/10, Suresh Babu.A.G <sureshbabuag wrote: Suresh Babu.A.G <sureshbabuag Re: ANGULAM Wednesday, March 17, 2010, 3:45 PM  Dear Kulbir, This thread is moving away from Astrology and related fields.
