brilliant read.
“a culture that cannot meet disruption with creativity cannot survive change. a culture that cannot protect its core value will be consumed by corruption. too much order leads to paralysis; too much chaos invites collapse.”

in “the arts and social change in india “,girish karnad chronicles the evolution of pre and post independence cultural scenario and its commercialisation in the country.its a fascinating peek into how artists became distinct from artisans.
how the proscenium-the stage-divided the performer from the audience.
how the dynamics of caste and gender have shaped indian theatre,dance,music and painting.
its not surprising that government patronage still determines the rating of the artist.
the essay was published in a volume in netherlands and accidentally discovered by
ramchandra guha.

henry ford was born #otd in 1863. he once famously remarked,”history is bunk”.yet his emphasis on education and experiential learning remains relevant today.much later he clarified that he meant history's focus on politicians & military heroes was bunk.

somethings have remained fixed and shall always be .

📌 Today marks six years of the National Education Policy (#NEP2020) - a visionary policy that redefined India's education landscape.

The policy focusses on universal Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (#FLN), according the highest priority to achievement of these foundational learning skills for all students by the end of Grade 3.

In this video, hear from Shri. @sanjayjavin Ji (Former Secretary, DoSEL, Ministry of Education, Government of India) on the need to ensure sustained investment and strategic focus on early learning and foundational learning as critical building blocks for a #ViksitBharat.

indeed ,it’s a proud moment for all of us to see the diverse backgrounds of 2026 fields medalist but it also goes to show that mathematics,like all knowledge, is an international endeavour.of course,somehow,they all end up in usa and specially @Princeton university-the mecca of mathematicians.

hong wang -born in china;studied @PKU1898;phd from @MIT and a prof at @nyuniversity and in france.@EmmanuelMacron

yu deng-born in china;studied @PKU1898 and @MIT ;phd from @Princeton ;prof at @UChicago

john pardon-born in usa;studied at @Princeton ;phd from @Stanford ;prof at @Princeton and @stonybrooku

jacob tseimerman -canadian born in russia;studied @TorontoUniRPG ;phd from @Princeton ;prof @TorontoUniRPG and @Princeton

of the 68 fields medalist till date ,19 are officially affiliated to @Princeton including 2 fields medalists of indian origin .prof manjul bhargava from canada and prof akshay venkatesh from australia.
it is important for us to retain our talent in our country. how do we do it is the question.@EduMinOfIndia

[Math Files @Math_files]

For the first time, China has produced Fields Medal winners who were educated entirely in China, and there are two of them.

Chinese mathematicians Wang Hong and Deng Yu received the award, along with John Pardon and Jacob Tsimerman.

#nelsonmandela ‘s birthday today.his shirt displayed on the wall of @gatesfoundation headquarters at seattle says it all .

“education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

his birthday is celebrated globally as Nelson Mandela International Day, an annual United Nations observance that honors his lifelong legacy of peace, reconciliation, and social justice.

this year’s theme is “it’s still in our hands to combat poverty and inequity”. people worldwide participate by dedicating 67 minutes of their time to voluntary community service—one minute for every year he spent fighting for human rights and public service.@EduMinOfIndia

UMODZI ,embedded in traditional malawian wisdom ,is a profound word translating directly to "unity," "togetherness," "oneness," or "singularity". it comes from the famous chichewa proverb

"mutu umodzi susenza denga"

which translates to

"one head cannot carry a roof."

it underscores the cultural value that large tasks require community collaboration. @EduMinOfIndia

nikola tesla (10/7/1856 – 7/1/1943), a serbian american scientist & engineer, is the almost unsung knowledge believer considered the smartest man by einstein. he is best known for creating the modern alternating current (AC) electricity system.he considered ignorance to be the root of all friction we see in society while imagining a wireless world a century before.also foresaw the effects of technology on gender empowerment.
