India has been an active player globally in polar research, having established research stations in both the Antarctic and the Arctic.
For a long time now, historians have been using epigraphy to infer the political and economic aspect of the past. In recent times, astronomers have come to realize that it can be a potent tool to also understand the history of astronomy as well as for inferring minute changes in the motion of Earth.
It is a subject that is not much spoken about in scientific meetings. But breaking from the tradition of academic societies, the Astronomical Society of India (ASI) has taken a bold step by putting gender bias on its agenda.
The city of Hyderabad is famous for its historical monuments like Charminar and cuisine like biryani, but few would know that it has been the cradle of modern astronomy in India.
New discoveries in astronomy in recent years have generated a lot of excitement globally, and Indian scientists have contributed to them in large measure.
