The Stitched Ship Project: A Symbol of Maritime History of BHARAT
In this wonderful presentation from this event, held at 'IIT Delhi', we will find out how India has a five thousand years old maritime tradition involving trade, cultural exchange, exploration and naval campaigns on both coasts. These extended across the Indian Ocean and beyond. These voyages were undertaken on ships that were mostly built using a unique “STITCHED” technique. We have textual evidence and accounts from foreign travellers about the intricacies of the ship-building processes and the culture of maritime activities. Together, let's engage in a thoughtful exploration where we will be able to understand what are the reasons for the decline of this technology? What did these ships look like? Are there any present-day surviving samples? In this eye-opening presentation, we aim to comprehensively understand the importance of this project, so much so that the Govt. of India supported this project to revive this ancient culture generously. How is this project materialising? What are the steps? How is the execution? What is the future of the shipbuilding industry in India? To know the answers, don't miss out on this opportunity to gain valuable insights and foster meaningful dialogue.

The Chronology of India: From Manu to Mahabharata
Indian historical tradition reckons the chronology from Svāyambhuva Manu to the Mahābhārata era in terms of the elapsed number of Manvantaras and Mahāyugas (Chaturyugas). Unfortunately, those scholars who later updated the Purāṇas had erroneously deemed the increased calandrical duration of Chaturyugas as a given fact, and on that basis, narrated the chronological history of ancient India, resulting in, since antiquity, the loss of the true chronology from Manu to Mahabharata. The research found that the epoch of the end of the 28th Krita Yuga of the Vaivasvata Manvantara would be the strongest basis, if it is accurately established, to retrieve that lost chronology.
