ÐHistory Mahakavi Kalidasa is known to be the greatest repository of our national heritage. The serenity of his artistic accomplishment has earned for him a high place in the galaxy of world poets. Kalidasa's imagination holds in perfect fusion the two elements of natural beauty and human feelings. He has continued to display his relevance through the centuries. Surcharges with wider human sympathy and universal appeal his character has remained truly Indian. Thus, Kalidasa continues to shine throughout the world as one of the greatest exponent of Indian culture.

      In keeping view of his memory at Ujjain, the department of culture of the government of Madhya Pradesh established the ‘Kalidasa Academy’

In the year 1978. The basic idea of establishing Kalidasa Akademi in Ujjain is in twofold. One is to keep the memory of the great poet-dramatist Kalidasa constantly refreshed. The other is to establish a multi-disciplinary institution which would project the totality of classical tradition with Kalidasa as its center; provide facilities for research and study in Sanskrit classical and traditional performing arts and their adaptation for contemporary stage in different cultural and linguistic millions. The Kalidasa Akademi is designed to recapture the contribution of entire sanskrit classical tradition, theatre and fine arts and to represent its unique aesthetic vision to the international community.

Mathematics

Regarding the paragraph, In the 6th and 7th centuries, Ujjain was a major centre of mathematical and astronomical research. The famous mathematicians who worked there included: Brahmagupta, whose book Brahmasphutasiddhanta was responsible for spreading the use of zero, negative numbers and the positional number system to Arabia and Cambodia; Varahamihira, who was the first to discover many trigonometric identities; and Bhaskaracharya, or Bhaskara II, whose book Lilavati broke new ground in many areas of mathematics."

This paragraph is very poorly researched. For instance, it conveys the false impression that the three mathematicians who are named here were all from the 6th and 7th centuries; in fact, however, Bhaskaracharya, or Bhaskara II (not to be confused with Bhaskara I) lived many centuries later. In addition, Lilavati, a primer in arithmetic and geometry, was the most elementary of his several works; it should probably not be cited as part of documenting the correct statement that "Ujjain was a major centre of mathematical and astronomical research."

Reinstating poor content

Before reinstating poor content, as was done here a few minutes ago, please take time to familiarise yourself with policies such as those relating to verifiability and RS|reliable sources. It would also be worth reading WP:NOT, which explains why a fair amount of the content has no place here at all. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 21:07, 15 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

History

I think link 13 should be removed from the article, as it is not reliable. It is a website which talks about the Jyotirlingas of the country and provides no citations and sources for its information.Radhika.. (talk) 20:50, 28 October 2017 (UTC)Radhika Gupta[reply]
