   9 Unbelievable Facts About India Most                          Indians Didn’t  Know

                             

1. Hindi is not the National Language of India

There are more than 20 official languages and Hindi is one of them but it is not our National language. Official languages are the ones which a country uses to communicate on an official level. In fact, there are some cities in India like Chennai, where people are happy not to communicate in Hindi.

2. India does not have a National Game

It's not hockey and definitely not chess. In an RTI reply, the centre said that there is no National game.

3. There are places in India where men  demand gender equality for themselves

There are places in India where a man marries a woman and moves to his mother-in-law's house.  Khasi and the matrilineal Muslims in Minicoy, Lakshadweep are some of the examples.

4. Bear Grylls wanted to join The Indian Army after getting out of school

Presenter of the famous show, Man Vs. Wild, Bear Grylls always knew he wanted to do something adventurous with his life. No wonder, his first choice was to join The Indian Army.

5. USB was developed by an Indian-American computer architect

Ajay V. Bhatt is the man behind USBs. You can also credit him for AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port), PCI Express, Platform Power management architecture and various other chip-set improvements.

7. Calculus and Trigonometry came from India

As much as the students hate it, India is responsible for it.

8. The City Montessori School in Lucknow is the world's largest school in terms of the number of students

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the City Montessori School in Lucknow, India, had 39,437 pupils and 2,500 teachers on December 29, 2011.

9. Indian Railways has more than 1.4 million employees

That’s more than the population of Trinidad and Tobago, Estonia, Mauritius, Bahrain, Cyprus, Luxembourg, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Monaco and Vatican City.

Dennis Ritchie The Tribute :

Dennis Ritchie is the father of the C programming language, and with fellow Bell Labs researcher Ken Thompson, he used C to build UNIX, the operating system that so much of the world is built on including the Apple empire overseen by Steve Jobs.

The Dennis Ritchie created-

·C (programming language) on which many currently used languages and technologies are based.

·Unix a multiuser operating system. Several workalikes (commonly referred to as Unix-like systems) have been developed based on Unix's design. Some of these follow POSIX standards, again based on Unix.

·Unix Programmer's Manual (1971)

·The C Programming Language (book) (sometimes referred to as K&R; 1978 with Brian Kernighan)

 

The C language is widely used today in application, operating system, and embedded system development, and its influence is seen in most modern programming languages. Unix has also been influential, establishing concepts and principles that are now precepts of computing.

“Pretty much everything on the web uses those two things: C and UNIX,” Pike tells Wired. “The browsers are written in C. The UNIX kernel — that pretty much the entire Internet runs on — is written in C. Web servers are written in C, and if they’re not, they’re written in Java or C++, which are C derivatives, or Python or Ruby, which are implemented in C. And all of the network hardware running these programs I can almost guarantee were written in C.

 

“It’s really hard to overstate how much of the modern information economy is built on the work Dennis did.”

But The Thing Which Make Me Feel Bad For Him is :-

Big Data Analytics

Big data is now a reality: The volume, variety and velocity of data coming into your organization continue to reach unprecedented levels. This phenomenal growth means that not only must you understand big data in order to decipher the information that truly counts, but you also must understand the possibilities of big data analytics.

What is Big Data Analytics?

Big data analytics is the process of examining big data to uncover hidden patterns, unknown correlations and other useful information that can be used to make better decisions. With big data analytics, data scientists and others can analyze huge volumes of data that conventional analytics and business intelligence solutions can't touch. Consider that your organization could accumulate (if it hasn't already) billions of rows of data with hundreds of millions of data combinations in multiple data stores and abundant formats. High-performance analytics is necessary to process that much data in order to figure out what's important and what isn't. Enter big data analytics.

Why collect and store terabytes of data if you can't analyze it in full context? Or if you have to wait hours or days to get results? With new advances in computing technology, there's no need to avoid tackling even the most challenging business problems. For simpler and faster processing of only relevant data, you can use high-performance analytics. Using high-performance data mining, predictive analytics, text mining, forecasting and optimization on big data enables you to continuously drive innovation and make the best possible decisions. In addition, organizations are discovering that the unique properties of machine learning are ideally suited to addressing their fast-paced big data needs in new ways.
