"When the West said 'no supercomputers for you,' India said 'hold my tea!'

In the 1980s, while the US and Europe tried to block India’s access to supercomputers, one man refused to back down.

Hospitals in Kerala have introduced an innovative step to ensure hygiene by printing the day on bedsheets to guarantee daily changes.

This simple yet effective idea helps maintain cleaner, safer environments for patients.

What do you think — should hospitals across India adopt this practice? Let us know in the comments!

On the burial ground, one can find pitchers, potsherds etc. Many of these contain broken pieces of bones.

Sometimes back, copper implements and utensils wer also recovered from dis place bt no iron implement, suggesting dat perhaps dis was d burial place of Chalcolithic people.

#Obra #Megalithic Site, #Chatra

Located adjacent to the serene Bakulia river, this site is remarkable in many ways. Two tall but slightly inclined menhirs will instantly catch our attention. These two are arranged in North-South direction while a third one is lying flat.

[Sourav Chandra @souravchandra]

The 2nd group of megaliths is located in a raised ground. The question arises why is it so ?

The answer lies in the significance of the place. This place was sacred ancient burial ground.

@susantananda3 Wonderful. Many congratulations Sir. 💐💐

[Sourav Chandra @souravchandra]

Another lovely fact is that the vertex of the triangular stone points towards equinox sunrises.

All dese details clearly demonstrate that pre-historic ancient Indians had a rich culture wid a great knowledge of astronomy nd mathematics. And this was well b4 Aryans came to India.

This spectacular complex comprises of 3 stones as known today. The central and the most prominent one is a single inclined Menhir. Towards it's southern end, there is a recumbent human shaped stone 'Sasandiri'.

[Sourav Chandra @souravchandra]

All these stones are arranged in the perfect North-South alignment. Not only that, the recumbent stone has its head in the North direction. This practice of positioning of dead is being followed till date among Hindus, tribals and other animistic worshippers.
