A LESSON FROM THE CHARVAKS By Shanta Gokhale

A LESSON FROM THE CHARVAKS

By Shanta Gokhale

The Charvaka philosophy challenged everything that ritualistic communities held dear and was wiped out without a trace. Maybe it is time to bring it back

The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) is known to the general public as the source of textbooks for the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). One of its mandates is to review textbooks regularly in order to update material. A news report tells us that, in its first review since 2007, it has backdated some material in books meant for classes six to 10. The sixth standard history book has new material on the six astika schools of Hindu philosophy and our achievements in astronomy, metallurgy and mathematics. Great. The NCERT is a responsible organisation which can be trusted not to pull a Dinanath Batra on our children. So here we have some 12 centuries of a cultural churn that started in the sixth century BCE with the birth of Buddhism and Jainism and ended around the seventh century CE with Brahmagupta assigning a mathematical value to the zero. If this history is taught to our children, they’ll come out laughing at the poppycock we hear today about the totally imaginary scientific and technological achievements of our ancients.
This period is culturally one of the most eventful that our country has seen. It was a time when thinkers and philosophers questioned, speculated and dissented freely, giving rise to vibrant new sects and religions. Buddhism and Jainism, which find a place in the sixth standard history book mentioned above, were born in opposition to the Brahmin dominated Vedic religion. The tradition of dissent continued well into the middle ages. At a time when so-called heretics were being burned at the stake in Europe, the bhakti movement, which rejected the mediation of Brahmins between Man and God, was spreading its wings in India. But going back, the astika philosophies that have found a place in the sixth standard history book represent only some of the players in the marketplace of ideas thriving then. There were nastika philosophies too, underlining the diversity of ideas flourishing then. Nobody sat fatly in a high chair dictating a one-culture-one-language nationalism to people in the name of their “glorious past”. People were too busy living a glorious present. Traditions were being attacked although there was no western influence operating on and enslaving people’s minds then. New trades were emerging, lifestyles were changing. Most crucially, Brahminical power was being undermined, making the priest class enormously insecure. A delightful passage in Romila Thapar’s History of Early India, evokes the times vividly. “Rivalries and debates were rife. Audiences gathered around the new philosophers in the kutuhala-shalas — literally, places for creating curiosity — in the parks and groves on the outskirts of the towns.” If only we saw our schools and colleges as kutuhala-shalas, what a race of human beings we would produce for our glorious future!

One of the philosophies that most disturbed the establishment was the Charvaka, presumably named after its foremost disciple. Its origins are shrouded in mystery but it was arguably the first truly materialist philosophy to have held sway over people’s minds. Why would common folk not cheer a philosopher who told them that rituals were a lot of hokum invented by Brahmins to ensure their livelihood? Why would they not love him for rejecting caste? Would they not guffaw heartily when he asked Brahmins why they sacrificed animals, and when they justified it by saying the sacrificed beasts went straight to Swarga Loka, demanded to know why they didn’t despatch their aged parents the same way to make sure they entered Swarga Loka too?

One can imagine how such brazen challenges must have shaken up the establishment. No wonder references to the Charvakas keep appearing in literature for centuries after every trace of their own had been lost.

What could have caused so total an erasure of a philosophy that seemed to have captured people’s minds for the better part of a millenium starting from Buddhist times? Here’s a story that contains a hint of what could have happened. In the Shanti Parva of the Mahabharata, a Charvak sanyasi asks Yudhisthira who is preparing for an Ashwamedh sacrifice, “Do you really think you have won a great victory when you have shed so much blood and killed your own?” The question causes consternation in the Brahmin ranks. The sanyasi is instantly condemned as Duryodhana’s friend and a rakshasa. But Krishna says, “No, he is not a rakshasa. He’s a great yogi. However, there’s a curse on his head. Brahmins will ultimately destroy him for insulting them.”

Perhaps our children should learn about the Charvaks too?

\maketitle
 The Institute of Reproducing Kernels is dealing with the theory of division by zero calculus and declares that the division by zero was discovered as $0/0=1/0=z/0=0$ in a natural sense on 2014.2.2. The result shows a new basic idea on the universe and space since Aristotelēs (BC384 - BC322) and Euclid (BC 3 Century - ), and the division by zero is since Brahmagupta  (598 - 668 ?).
In particular,  Brahmagupta defined as $0/0=0$ in Brāhmasphuṭasiddhānta (628), however, our world history stated that his definition $0/0=0$ is wrong over 1300 years, but, we showed that his definition is suitable.
 For the details, see the references and the site: http://okmr.yamatoblog.net/

We wrote a global book manuscript \cite{s18} with 154 pages
 and stated in the preface and last section of the manuscript as follows:
\bigskip


{\bf Preface}
\medskip

 The division by zero has a long and mysterious story over the world (see, for example, H. G. Romig \cite{romig} and Google site with the division by zero) with its physical viewpoints since the document of zero in India on AD 628. In particular, note that Brahmagupta (598 -668 ?) established the four arithmetic operations by introducing $0$ and at the same time he defined as $0/0=0$ in
Brhmasphuasiddhnta. Our world history, however, stated that his definition $0/0=0$ is wrong over 1300 years, but, we will see that his definition is right and suitable.

 The division by zero $1/0=0/0=z/0$ itself will be quite clear and trivial with several natural extensions of the fractions against the mysterously long history, as we can see from the concepts of the Moore-Penrose generalized inverses or the Tikhonov regularization method to the fundamental equation $az=b$, whose solution leads to the definition $z =b/a$.

  However, the result (definition) will show that
      for the elementary mapping
\begin{equation}
W = \frac{1}{z},
\end{equation}
the image of $z=0$ is $W=0$ ({\bf should be defined from the form}). This fact seems to be a curious one in connection with our well-established popular image for the  point at infinity on the Riemann sphere (\cite{ahlfors}). �As the representation of the point at infinity of the Riemann sphere by the
zero $z =  0$, we will see some delicate relations between $0$ and $\infty$ which show a strong
discontinuity at the point of infinity on the Riemann sphere. We did not consider any value of the elementary function $W =1/ z $ at the origin $z = 0$, because we did not consider the division by zero
$1/ 0$ in a good way. Many and many people consider its value by the limiting like $+\infty $ and  $- \infty$ or the
point at infinity as $\infty$. However, their basic idea comes from {\bf continuity} with the common sense or
based on the basic idea of Aristotle.  --
 For the related Greece philosophy, see \cite{a,b,c}. However, as the division by zero we will consider its value of
the function $W =1 /z$ as zero at $z = 0$. We will see that this new definition is valid widely in
mathematics and mathematical sciences, see  (\cite{mos,osm}) for example. Therefore, the division by zero will give great impacts to calculus, Euclidean geometry, analytic geometry, differential equations,  complex analysis in the undergraduate level and to our basic ideas for the space and universe.

We have to arrange globally our modern mathematics in our undergraduate level. Our common sense on the division by zero will be wrong, with our basic idea on the space and the universe since Aristotle and Euclid. We would like to show clearly these facts in this book. The content is in the undergraduate level.

\bigskip
\bigskip

{\bf Conclusion}
\medskip


 Apparently, the common sense on the division by zero with a long and mysterious history is wrong and our basic idea on the space around the point at infinity is also wrong since Euclid. On the gradient or on derivatives we have a great missing since $\tan (\pi/2) = 0$. Our mathematics is also wrong in elementary mathematics on the division by zero.

This book is an elementary mathematics  on our division by zero as the first publication of  books for the topics. The contents  have wide connections to various fields beyond mathematics. The author expects the readers write some philosophy, papers and essays on the division by zero from this simple source book.

The division by zero theory may be developed and expanded greatly as in the author's conjecture whose break theory was recently given surprisingly and deeply by  Professor Qi'an Guan \cite{guan} since 30 years proposed  in \cite{s88} (the original is in \cite {s79}).

We have to arrange globally our modern mathematics with our division by zero  in our undergraduate level.

We have to change our basic ideas for our space and world.

We have to change globally our textbooks and scientific books on the division by zero.
