ARYABHATT (476 CE)
He is a Mathematician and master of Astronomy born in 476 CE in Kusumpur (Bihar), Aryabhatt’s intellectual brilliance remapped the boundaries of mathematics and astronomy. In 499 CE, at the age of 23, he wrote a text on astronomy and an unparallel treatise on mathematics called ‘Aryabhatiyam.’ He formulated the process of calculating the motion of planets and the time of eclipses. Aryabhatt was the first to proclaim that the earth is round, it rotates on its axis, orbits the sun and is suspended in space – 1000 years before Copernicus published his heliocentric theory. He is also acknowledged for calculating p (Pi) to four decimal places: 3.1416 and the sine table in trigonometry. Centuries later, in 825 CE, the Arab mathematician, Mohammed Ibna Musa credited the value of Pi to the Indians, ‘This value has been given by the Indians.’ And above all, his most spectacular contribution was the concept of zero without which modern computer technology would have been non-existent. Aryabhatt was a colossus in the field of mathematics.
it is very much helpful for kids as well as high school students

These people are not just scientists … they are adorable in every aspect as they fought with all the challenges/difficulties we have in our country and delivered excellence. This number is very small compared to western countries like America, Germany. Today is the time we have economic support and talent to compete with all these countries. Lets passionately work and make India again place of excellency.
A big salute to all these masters . . . .
