Academics worldwide are rethinking their assessment approaches — from developing exams that artificial-intelligence tools can’t pass to sneaking hidden AI prompts into tasks to catch cheating students.

The seminar on “Contemporary Global Challenges and Gandhian Philosophy”, organised by the Gandhi Study Circle, Shivaji College, University of Delhi, was a remarkable intellectual initiative inspired by the vision of respected Principal Prof. Virender Bhardwaj Sir. The seminar was enriched by the presence of Chief Guest Prof. Rekha Saxena, Guest of Honour Shri Umashankar Pandey (Padma Shri), and Keynote Speaker Prof. Anil Dutta Mishra, whose valuable insights deepened the discourse on Gandhi and contemporary global challenges. Principal Sir’s inspiring address beautifully connected Gandhi with contemporary society, literature and cinema. Heartfelt thanks to all organisers, speakers, students and volunteers for making the seminar memorable.

I deciphered the inscription on the pedestal. In older photographs, the pedestal was covered under dirt which is why it went unnoticed.

Among the most intriguing artefacts unearthed from the Sindhu-Saraswati Civilization are carefully carved stone boards from 3rd Millennium BCE.

These stone boards are marked with geometric grids, often found alongside cubical and elongated dice. Archaeologists have long suggested that these may have served as gaming boards, offering a glimpse into organised leisure and strategic play over 4,500 years ago. While their exact rules remain unknown, some scholars regard them as possible precursors to later Indian board games.

The Rig Veda also reflects the enduring place of play in the Indian tradition through its references to dice (akṣa) and games of chance. Whether used for games, counting, or other purposes, these artefacts add another layer to our understanding of the sophisticated social life of the Sindhu-Saraswati Civilization, a legacy whose echoes continue to thrive in Bharat’s living cultural traditions.

The first inscription (left) from Ajaigarh gives a legendary account of the origin of the Srivastava Kayasthas from sage Kashyap, the second commemorates the victory of Chandelas over a powerful foe, likely the Kalachuris, and the recapture of Deogarh under the command of Vatsaraj the general of Kīrttivarman.
