@DrJitendraSingh Sir, please try to get the CSIR NET result released today itself. Today is the last date to apply for the JKPSC Assistant Professor (Higher Education) posts, and the cutoff date is 31/08/2026. It would be a great help if the result could be released today.

The so-called “calculator riots” of 1986 serve as a powerful reminder that today’s anxieties about artificial intelligence replacing human thinking are far from new.
In April 1986, a determined group of math educators staged a vocal protest outside the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) annual convention in Washington, D.C. Led by influential textbook author John Saxon, demonstrators carried signs declaring, “The Button’s Nothin’ ’Til the Brain’s Trained.”
They were opposing the NCTM’s new recommendation to incorporate electronic calculators into mathematics education at every grade level, including homework and exams.
The protesters worried that reliance on calculators would erode students’ mental arithmetic skills, numerical intuition, and deep conceptual understanding, potentially creating a generation of “calcuholics” overly dependent on machines.
The NCTM countered that calculators would free students from repetitive, low-level calculations, enabling them to tackle more complex problem-solving and higher-order thinking. Ultimately, the debate led to a pragmatic compromise: students would first master core mathematical concepts and mental strategies before using calculators as tools for more advanced work.
This balanced approach allowed technology to enhance, rather than replace, mathematical reasoning.
Today, as schools navigate the rapid rise of generative AI, the 1986 calculator compromise offers a valuable blueprint: prioritize genuine understanding first, then thoughtfully integrate powerful new tools.
Another Day in #India, Another Islamic School Bulldozed.
Here, an Islamic School in Assam, in India, is bulldozed to the ground. Thousands of Muslim students attend this school, which also serves a Mosque and community center.

A H!ndu boy with his two friends was caught throwing stones in Shahalibanda.
Trying to defame Muslims, label them Stone pelters, if it was UP karnataka then the blame would have come on Muslims and the truth would never come out
Look who plants stone pelters to blame muslims
A hindu joker insulting the Prophet Muhammad,using disrespectful words,trying to say that how Muslims are evil & shameful !
Why would this issue come back again, as if the story of Nupur Sharma was not enough?
There must be a decisive end to these abuses by Modi’s government.
