Abstract:
<p><em>In the recent years there seems to be a renaissance of Indic knowledge traditions and this is quite evident from the growing interest among the modern researchers and scholars to unearth the great insights and knowledge that made ancient Indian civilization one of the unique in the world. India as a nation of rich spiritual heritage and diverse knowledge systems have become the most sort out nation across the globe in terms of wisdom and insights on the philosophy of mind and consciousness. Further, research findings in different fields of knowledge such as consciousness studies, health and healing, psychology and mental health, mathematics, physics, astronomy, economics, law and governance, archaeology and history are in good agreement and deeply correlated with the information inscribed in the ancient Indian scriptures. Ancient Indians deeply engrossed in understanding the ontological and epistemological basis of knowledge advocated Vedas as the ultimate source of knowledge. </em></p><p><em>Vedas are considered as the oldest repository of spiritual knowledge in the world, where the prime emphasis is on understanding the nature of mind and consciousness, as this forms the fundamental basis to Indic knowledge. So, here, we propose that the science of consciousness seems to be the first and foremost in the chronology in the world of knowledge. An intuitive and analytical framework that resulted from a deeper understanding of the nature of mind and consciousness paved the way for the development of different Indic knowledge systems. Inner insight emerged through this approach is embraced to understand the external world and formulate different theories and principles of Indic knowledge. From a chronological perspective, Indian science and wisdom emerged in the later stages of development of the science of consciousness. So, the aim of the present paper is to throw light on the Indic science of consciousness and examine chronology of the emergence of other fields of Indic knowledge.</em></p>

Abstract:
In this autobiographical account, I first describe my family, then childhood and education in India. During 1953–55, I worked in the new field of radio astronomy at the Division of Radiophysics of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation in Australia. During 1956–57, I worked at the Radio Astronomy Station of Harvard University at Fort Davis, Texas, where I made observations of solar radio bursts at decimeter wavelengths. I then joined Stanford University as a graduate student in 1957. I contributed to the successful operation of the Stanford Cross Antenna and then used it for studying microwave radio emission from the Sun. I was awarded the Ph.D. degree by Stanford University in 1960 and was then appointed as an Assistant Professor for three years. With an urge to contribute to evolving scientific endeavors in India, I joined the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) at Mumbai, India, in April 1963. In my stay of more than three decades at TIFR, I conceived of, and guided, construction of two of the world's largest radio telescopes, namely the Ooty Radio Telescope and the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope. These instruments have led to several outstanding contributions and discoveries in the areas of radio galaxies, quasars, pulsars, and cosmology.

Abstract:
A summary of work related to astronomy education carried out during the last three years in India is presented here. Since India is a huge country and many educational efforts are made by individuals alone, this report cannot be regarded as complete, but a specific sampling.India has more than 200 Universities, 8000 colleges, and about 100,000 schools, 33 planetaria, more than 100 museums and about 60 well known amateur astronomers’ clubs. Scores of dedicated astronomy oriented school teachers, act as nuclei of astronomy education for the general public and school children .The astronomical almanac, used in a typical household is in some way related to the stars in the sky and the movements of the Sun, the Moon and the planets. Traditionally, a rudimentary knowledge of the celestial sphere is common. The recent developments in space technology have brought a fascination and glamour to modern astronomy for all age groups, and this is noticeably reflected in the number of media coverages of astronomy.

Abstract:
AbstractSawai Jai Singh, the statesman astronomer of 18th century India, designed instruments, built observatories, prepared Zīj, and sent a fact-finding scientific mission to Europe. His high-precision instruments were designed to measure time and angles with accuracies of ± 2 second, and ±1’ of arc respectively. The Ṣaṣṭhāmsa, a meridian dial with aperture, can still measure angles with precision of ± 1’ of arc. In the age of Newton and Flamsteed, Jai Singh and his associates remained medieval, in the tradition of Ulugh Beg, and did not initiate the new age of astronomy in the country. A complex interaction of poor communications, religious taboos, theological beliefs, national rivalries and plain simple human shortcomings are to be blamed for the failing.

Abstract:
Studies of the skies have dominated intellectual activities since ancient man. In this respect, India has a very long tradition of such recorded activity, covering the observations of celestial bodies both as a science and as mythology (Gurm, 1980). The first half of the Christian era witnessed the evolution of spherical astronomy as a part of the study of mathematics (algebra and trigonometry) and its application to astrology. The evolution of spherical astronomy culminated in the concrete manifestation in the northern parts of India in the form of Jantar-Mantars by Raja Jai Singh (Mayer, 1979) in the early eighteenth century. Interestingly, spherical astronomy remained one of the most important activities in the study of astronomy during the British period too. Some of the older treatises on this subject during the nineteenth century were written in the Offices of the Survey of India.

Sen, Joydeep. "Astronomy in India, 1784-1876." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2010. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/34611/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis aims to elucidate the changing forms of engagement between Europeans and Indians in relation to astronomy in India between 1784 and 1876. It seeks to trace the evolving contexts in which knowledge of astronomy was developed and to provide a nuanced characterisation of the resultant cognitive interface between Europeans and Indians, focusing in particular on Bengal and Bombay. The defining features of this period saw Europeans exploring the history of Indian astronomy, before establishing observatories and colleges to foster modern Western astronomy, while Indians turned to rethink how the history of Indian astronomy (and astrology) fitted with modern science. Yet while recent historiographical interventions have drawn attention to the more philosophical forms of engagement, this thesis contends that such a concentration has elided a much more practical engagement between Europeans and Indians in relation to modern (Western) astronomy in India. This engagement was not about a constant process of Indians rationalising participation in modern science, or looking backwards while moving forwards. In addition, it was premised more on collaborative and experiential constructions of knowledge, without express awareness of fixed "Western" or "Indian" paradigms. There was evidence of such engagement in the observatory and in the field, as well as in certain college settings, and in some parts of India more than others. However, racialised colonial institutions and attenuated educational schemas could at length hinder such possibilities, leaving the spotlight on the more philosophical forms of engagement. This thesis hence aims to address a lacuna in the history of science in colonial India by reappraising the significance of astronomy during these years. Through drawing on a range of written texts and physical objects in relation to astronomy, as well as on inter-disciplinary perspectives, it seeks to reflect the heterogeneous nature of the Indian intellectual climate in the colonial period.

Full text
Abstract:
Le Goladīpikā (L’illumination de la sphère) est un traité composé par Parameśvara. Il existe deux versions de ce texte : l’une a été éditée avec une traduction anglaise et l’autre n’est qu’une édition utilisant trois manuscrits. Cette thèse donne une nouvelle édition de la deuxième version en utilisant onze manuscrits dont un commentaire anonyme nouvellement trouvé. Elle se compose aussi d’une traduction anglaise et de notes explicatives. Pour l’essentiel, le Goladīpikā est une collection de procédures pour déterminer la position des objets célestes. Cette thèse décrit les outils mathématiques qui sont utilisées dans ces procédures, en particulier les Règles de trois, et discute de la manière dont Parameśvarales fonde. Il y a une description d’une sphère armillaire au début du Goladīpikā. Donc ce doctorat examine aussi comment cet instrument a pu être utilisé pour expliquer ces procédures. Ce travail tente aussi de positionner le Goladīpikā au sein du corpus des oeuvres Parameśvara et d’autres auteurs
The Goladīpikā (Illumination of the sphere) is a Sanskrit treatise by Parameśvara, which is extant in two distinctly different versions. One of them has been edited with an English translation and the other has only an edition using three manuscripts. This dissertation presents a new edition of the latter version using eleven manuscripts, addinga newly found anonymous commentary. It further consists of an English translation of the base text and the commentary as well as explanatory notes. The main content of the Goladīpikā is a collection of procedures to ind the positions of celestial objects in the sky. This dissertation highlights the mathematical tools used in these procedures, notably Rules of Three, and discusses how the author Parameśvara could have grounded the steps. There is a description of an armillary sphere at the beginning of the Goladīpikā, and the dissertation also examines how this instrument could have been involved in explaining the procedures. In the course of these arguments, the dissertation also attempts to position the Goladīpikā among the corpus of Parameśvara’s text as well as in relation to other authors

Abstract:
Au laboratoire de glaciologie et geophysique de l'environnement, nous avons developpe une cellule cryogenique qui nous permet de realiser des films minces de glaces, a partir de la phase gazeuse, sur lesquels nous effectuons des mesures en transmission grace a un spectrometre a transformee de fourier. Une etude appropriee de ces spectres en transmission permet d'acceder, via un code numerique, a l'indice de refraction complexe du solide, n+ik, en fonction de la longueur d'onde. Il m'a fallu elaborer une nouvelle methodologie qui, a partir d'un modele realiste du systeme experimental (film+substrat), permet de dissocier sans ambiguite les absorptions reelles et les absorptions virtuelles, dues aux reflexions multiples sur les differentes interfaces, couplees aux fortes variations d'indice, au voisinage des bandes d'absorption. Les indices ainsi obtenus montrent que les donnees publiees jusqu'a present sont surestimees d'environ 10 a 40%. Ces ecarts peuvent avoir des consequences importantes car les indices complexes de refraction sont utilises dans des modeles de transfert radiatif (par exemple modele de mie) qui permettent d'acceder a des parametres du milieu interstellaire tel que la taille des grains, leur composition, leur temperature ou bien encore leur histoire thermique. Ces nouveaux parametres sont alors utilises dans d'autres modeles pour etudier la physico-chimie du milieu interstellaire. Les constantes optiques sont donc a l'origine de nombreuses speculations et doivent etre les plus precises possible. Nous appliquons nos constantes optiques, obtenues pour des glaces pures, aux grains de glace du milieu interstellaire et aux enveloppes circumstellaires (notamment la nebuleuse du lion givre)
