Rani Abbakka Chowta who ruled in the 16th century. She was also one of the earliest Indians to fight the colonial powers and is sometimes regarded as the 'first woman freedom fighter of India'. She kept the Portuguese in control for over four decades. :) She reportedly had 2 daughters who fought along side her. Abbakka is portrayed as dark and good looking, always dressed in simple clothes like a commoner. She is portrayed as a caring queen who worked late into the night dispensing justice. Her treacherous husband was the prince consort since she was the ruler. He betrayed her for power and she was finally arrested and jailed . However, even in prison she revolted and died fighting. India's First Inshore Patrol Vessel ICGS which was recently commissioned is named 'Rani Abbakka' after her.
which state she belonged?

How about Bahadur Shah or Ghalib visiting old Delhi?
Re: Significant / Prominent Personalities in Indo-Pak History..
How about Bahadur Shah or Ghalib visiting old Delhi?
Ghalib will shift to Punjabi Bagh area because of poshness, wine and women, he would enjoy delhi more than his previous life, won't go ti his house, which is in very unclean lane with very good jalebiwala outside. Bahadur Shah Zafar will have to meet Sonia Gandhi and tell her that he was ex-king of Mughal dynasty to which sonia would say she is queen of Nehru-Gandhi dynasty:D

She was the queen of Ullal which is very close to mangalore(Karnataka) and the state of Kerala. The people of this place ,even now-a-days follow a system of matrilineal inheritance so she was crowned the queen and had a prince consort. She resisted the Portugese when they started focusing on Managlore after successfully controlling Goa. Even today Mangalore and Goa has a strong cultural portugese influence on the native Christians
Re: Significant / Prominent Personalities in Indo-Pak History..
Rani Chennamma of Chitoor fought against the British almost 30 years before the 1857 revolt. Other than Rani Lakshmi Bai and Begum of Awadh, are there any other queens/princessess who were freedom fighters ?

Sorry . It was Rani Chennamma of Kittur in Karnataka. There is a chittor in Rajasthan and another chittoor district in the South. Confusing...

All the personalities. I'm more interested to know about ancient one

Sushruta : The father of Surgery .
He lived sometime between 800-600 BCE in Varanasi. He authored a series of volumes collectively known as Susrutha Samhita in which he describes over 300 surgical procedures, 120 surgical instruments and classifies human surgery in eight categories. It is the oldest known surgical text and it describes in exquisite detail the examination, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of numerous ailments, as well as procedures on performing various forms of plastic surgery, such as cosmetic surgery and rhinoplasty.
Susrutha was also the first surgeon to advocate the practice of operations on inanimate objects such as watermelons, clay plots and reeds; thus predating the modern practice of the surgical workshop by half a millennium.
His contributions in Surgery :
Surgical demonstration of techniques of making incisions, probing, extraction of foreign bodies, alkali and thermal cauterization, tooth extraction, excisions, trocars for draining abscess draining hydrocele and ascitic fluid. Described removal of the prostate gland, urethral stricture dilatation, vesiculolithotomy, hernia surgery, caesarian section, management of haemorrhoids, fistulae, laparotomy and management of intestinal obstruction, perforated intestines, accidental perforation of the abdomen with protrusion of omentum. Classified details of the six types of dislocations, twelve varieties of fractures and classification of the bones and their reaction to the injuries. Principles of fracture management, viz., traction, manipulation, appositions and stabilization including some measures of rehabilitation and fitting of prosthetics. Classification of eye diseases (76) with signs, symptoms, prognosis, medical/surgical interventions and cataract surgery. Description of method of stitching the intestines by using ant-heads as stitching material. First to deal with embryology and sequential development of the structures of the fetus. Dissection and study of anatomy of human body. Introduction of wine to dull the pain of surgical incisions. Enumeration of 1120 illnesses and recommended diagnosis by inspection, palpation and auscultation.
His works were translated into Arabic during the Abbasid Caliphate and later made its way to Europe. Joseph Constantine Carpue, an english surgeon who lived in the early 19th century, spent 20 years in India studying local plastic surgery methods. He successfully performed the first major rhinoplasty in Europe by 1815. Instruments described in the Sushruta Samhita were further modified in the Western World. Even today, the paramedian forehead flap is referred to as the Indian flap.

Re: Significant / Prominent Personalities in Indo-Pak History..
**Paanini
was a sanskrit grammarian from Pushkalavati, Gandhara, in modern day Charsadda District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. He lived in 6th century BC. Pāṇini is known for his Sanskrit grammer, particularly for his formulation of the 3,959 rules of Sanskrit morphology, syntax and semantics in the grammar known as **Ashtadhyayi(meaning:8 chapters)**.
The Ashtadhyayi, is the earliest known work on descriptive linguistics stands at the beginning of the history of linguistics itself. His theory of morphological analysis was more advanced than any equivalent Western theory before the mid 20th century. and his analysis of noun compounds still forms the basis of modern linguistic theories of compounding.
The Ashtadhyayi is the central part of Paaṇini's grammar, and by far the most complex. It is the earliest complete grammar of Classical Sanskrit, and in fact is of a brevity and completeness unmatched in any ancient grammar of any language. It takes material from the lexical lists as input and describes algorithms to be applied to them for the generation of well-formed words. It is highly systematised and technical. Inherent in its approach are the concepts of the phoneme, the morpheme and the root.A consequence of his grammar's focus on brevity is its highly unintuitive structure, reminiscent of modern notations such as the **Backus-Naur Form. (In computer science, Backus-Naur Form is one of the two main notation techniques for context free grammers often used to describe the syntax of language used in computing, such as computer programming languages.
Paaṇini's work became known in 19th century Europe, where it influenced modern linguistics initially through Franz Bopp, who mainly looked at Paaṇini. Subsequently, a wider body of work influenced Sanskrit scholars such as Ferdinand de Saussure,Leonard Bloomfield and Roman Jackobsomn.Frits Stall discussed the impact of Indian ideas on language in Europe. After outlining the various aspects of the contact, Staal notes that the idea of formal rules in language, proposed by Ferdinand de Saussure in 1894 and developed by Noam Chomsky in 1957 has origins in the European exposure to the formal rules of Paanini's grammar. In particular, de Saussure, who lectured on Sanskrit for three decades, may have been influenced by Paaṇini; his idea of the unity of signifier-signified in the sign is somewhat similar to the notion of sphota. More importantly, the very idea that formal rules can be applied to areas outside of logic or mathematics, may itself have been catalyzed by Europe's contact with the work of Sanskrit grammarians.
Paaṇini's grammar is the world's first formal System developed well before the 19th century innovations of Gottlob Ferge and the subsequent development of mathematical logic. In designing his grammar, Paaṇini used the method of "auxiliary symbols", in which new affixes are designated to mark syntactic categories and the control of grammatical derivations. This technique, rediscovered by the logician Emil Post, became a standard method in the design of computer programming languages Sanskritists now accept that Paaṇini's linguistic apparatus is well-described as an "applied" Post system.
Re: Significant / Prominent Personalities in Indo-Pak History..
^^^^ His child name was Varadraj, he was very dumb student as a child,he escaped from Asram, while returning he saw a well with marks of ropes on it, this made him to return and study and he is known as Panini, who wrote grammer of Sanksrit:k:
Karat Karat abhyaas te jadmati hot sujaan
rasri aawat jaawat te sil par parat nisaan
She was Rani Karmawati of Chittor wife of Rana Sanga and grandmother of Rana Pratap:)
Re: Significant / Prominent Personalities in Indo-Pak History..
Yes. I remember reading somewhere that he was a dunderhead as a student and because of blessings of Lord Shiva to whom he prayed for knowledge, he became intelligent.
Study of sanskrit grammer is supposed to increage analytical and logical thinking capacity. When I was a student, in the south, it was a sort of “open secret” among the well educated families that kids who scored well in sanskrit did well in maths.This is true as far as my experiance is concerned. There was no formal scientific study, just generations of observations. So many of the kids were encouraged to opt for sanskrit as a language in school when it was offered by the state exam board from class 8-12. That was one reason, I even had a couple of non-hindus studying sanskrit in my class as well.
