In This Issue

The April 2010 issue of 'Itihas Diwakar' focuses on Indian history, culture, and chronology. It analyzes the scientific and cultural significance of Chaitra Shukla Pratipada (Nav Samvatsar), the contributions of Varahamihira, one of Vikramaditya's nine gems, and the valor of Maharana Pratap in Haryanvi folk tales. The issue also sheds light on the historical efforts and contemporary challenges of Hindu-Muslim dialogue in India.

Key Highlights

  • 01Chaitra Shukla Pratipada is the basis of the Indian Sanatana calendar, founded not on any person or event, but on a completely scientific cycle of time. It is revered as the day of human origin on Earth.
  • 02The great astronomer Varahamihira was one of the Navratnas (nine gems) of King Vikramaditya. His works 'Panch-Siddhantika' and 'Brihat Samhita' are invaluable sources of astrology, mathematics, and geology.
  • 03The tales of Maharana Pratap's valor in the Haryanvi folk drama 'Saang' convey messages of patriotism and the protection of one's dharma, which are still alive in the public consciousness.
  • 04This issue analyzes the historical evolution of Hindu-Muslim dialogue in India, discussing everything from Sufism to the British 'divide and rule' policy and contemporary efforts.
