Jantar Mantar, in Jaipur, India, is a fantasy land of science and architecture. Built in the 1700s, it houses about 20 astronomical instruments: beautiful arches, domes, and spires designed to plot the motions of the Sun and other objects. The observatory was founded by Maharaja Jai Singh II. It was one of five observatories he built across northern India, in the 1720s and ’30s. All of them were known as Jantar Mantar – a name that means “calculating machine.” The Jaipur site was the largest and most important. It’s also the best preserved. Jantar Mantar’s instruments were all designed to observe the heavens with the eye alone. Several of those were for tracking the motions of the Sun. And some of them were the largest of their kind ever built. One sundial, for example, had a shadow-casting marker almost 75 feet tall. The instruments allowed the site’s 20 or so astronomers to determine the time with an accuracy of just two seconds. They also set the calendar. Other instruments tracked the positions of the stars and planets. That includes a set of a dozen identical instruments, each of which aligned to one of the constellations of the zodiac. That provided important observations for court astrologers. The site was in steady use until about 1800, and intermittent use after that. It underwent several upgrades and restorations. Today, it’s a World Heritage site – an astronomical fantasy land. Script by Damond Benningfield

The 59-page ‘White Paper on the Indian Economy' said when the Modi government assumed office in 2014, the economy was in a “fragile state”. It stated strained public finances, corruption, double-digit inflation, ailing banking sector following excessive lending during the boom phase and policy uncertainty marred India's business climate and dented its image under the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government during FY04-FY14.The Uniform Civil Code (UCC), Uttarakhand, Bill 2024, which seeks to “govern and regulate the laws related to marriage and divorce, successions, live-in relationships, and matters related thereto” was passed in the Assembly on Wednesday following a two-day discussion.

Siddaramaiah said the protest was not against the BJP but the discrimination against Karnataka.Hamas has proposed a ceasefire plan that would quiet the guns in Gaza for four-and-a-half months leading to an end to the war.

Ashwini Upadhyay, a Supreme Court advocate and BJP member, has been in the news for last several days due to a rally organized by him on 8 August. The rally aimed at evoking central government to abrogate British-era penal codes and implement UCC. After a peaceful rally, the crowd of more than 5,000 people were dispersed after 12:30 PM as it was supposed to rain. However, after 4:30 PM, some outsiders who were not a part of the rally, started raising anti-Muslim slogans which ultimately led to the arrest of Ashwini Upadhyay and other 5 persons. In the podcast, I've tried to discuss the one-sided action of Delhi Police against innocent people. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bharatpodcast/message

Two back-to-back protests in Delhi informed by strong anti-Muslim sentiments are triggering fresh concerns about the weakened state of India's secular fabric. The first protest took place in Dwarka Sector 22, where the construction of a Hajj House for Muslim pilgrims is set to take place. A large group of residents from the neighbourhood area and Khaps from nearby villages had gathered at the site of the prospective Hajj House, on 6 August, chanting "Jai Shri Ram" and "Hindu Ekta" to oppose its construction. While some protesters said they feared that the Hajj House itself would become "another Tablighi Jamaat", some other claimed that constructing the Hajj House would lead to clashes, riots, and a law-and-order problem.  But the second and doubly concerning rally took place in the heart of Delhi — at Jantar Mantar, just two days after the Dwarka gathering, where in a protest against "colonial era laws", some especially violent and inflammatory slogans were raised against the Muslim community.  Purported video clips from the gathering showed protestors raising slogans that threaten to kill Muslims, which have been drawing massive outrage over the past few days.  This led the police to take action two days after the slogans were raised and arrest five people, including a Supreme Court lawyer and former Delhi BJP spokesperson Ashwini Upadhyay who had organised the event. However Upadhyay was granted bail a day later on 11 August. Tune in to The Big Story where we talk about these incidents and what we know about them so far.
