Along With the grace of indian culture .....😊😊

Math magician

Yesss!!

And she has not gone to school also

@@AA-wo5jo that's what amazes me the most

Absolutely correct because only having poet and others mustn't be good because she is beyond our expectation and she is an actually genius lady till now.

Sfwvgb

she was there .what about now

Yep she does

She was in our mathematics text book... But only mentioned in the FUN FACTS section!😕

In all seriousness, though, she wasn't a mathematician. Calculating stuff doesn't make you a mathematician.

@@rajdeepsindhu9268 solving problems in mathematics makes you a mathematician. So yeah she is one !

@@ReshmaAntony852 And what problem did she solve?

@@rajdeepsindhu9268 Agreed. Mathematics isn't just about arithmetic. It's much more than that. She probably didn't have a clue about Calculus or abstract Math, and still people call her as a mathematician. "Human computer" would be a more appropriate title for her.

@@Ashutosh8807 Her having not a clue about calculus etc might not be true, mostly because once people get a taste of what mathematics really is, they are tempted to explore more. But I get your point and agree that "human computer" is a much more appropriate title for her. :)

read this and you will know why she isn’t in the text books- In Medak she stood against the former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi,[26] saying she wanted to "defend the people of Medak from being fooled by Mrs. Gandhi";

U type INDIA like this 👆👆👆

@@thundergachas7283 I refer to it, as "our country". There's a greater sense of belongingness in that, if you understand.

@@vishatubeful if someone stand against PM, doesn't mean they don't reserve any recognition.

She is in my child's text book

Absolutely!! Why we dont have these now? Such a shame

Right

If we keep watching the kind of shows that are trending what else can we expect. The taste of audiences is bad that’s why the cooks cook such junk and feed us

@@bsnp4786 and the cook also does not want to change our taste :)

So true man

Her parallel mind starts at 28:00 for the question 2×2 31times and the answer come out at 30:32 but she calculated the answer more earlier

Excellent

Yes its wrong and that mistake would be called "nepotism" 🙄

Your 100% correct

Yes. Something is seriously wrong.

Here also nepotism ?? 🤔🤔

Silence for me, sorry for the last error😀

Me too..

Very few people knew her that is why the movie was made

Can't do anything our books never mentioned her ......and we students are bound to be around our course books.....damn I hate myself for not knowing her before

I read about it but no wifi during those days

Ramanujan's B'day is celebrated as "National Math's Day"

India has got many genius..

@@gollotaga1663 I know that, but I feel that Ramanujan deserves more. Maybe his day can be declared as International Maths Day.

Arithmetic

Biswajyoti Pegu no it must be for carl friedrich gauss..he was far more intelligent than ramanujam.

NOT gonna be true in coming decades hear to Elon Musk talk about AI and you might understand Its a common misunderstanding that machines are always inferior to human beings

@@vivid8913 Machines can't calculate 23√ of a 102 digit number in 28 seconds at that time but till now no one has ever beated Shakuntala Devi in maths .... So if u see she still holds her position in the world as human calculator ... And computers at that time were not that good ...

No, I mean she would lose to a computer today easily. She might lose to a small raspberry pie today. She would not make fun a computer in 2020

@@subhampadhi2393 Dede try to multiply a 13 digit number to itself on your phone it won't answer it .... TRY

@@mydreamworld7930 It does. U need to check. Just because the answer is exponential or your phone's calculator app has limited numbers that it shows doesn't mean the computer doesn't do the calculation. Just write it on your browser and u ll get the answer.

@Bheem Yadav ok bud , dont need to be a dick

This is not gift This is Indian Vedic maths 😂🙏

​@deepanshurathee1699 then why can't you do it😂?, stop yapping

this was less math and more of a talent show lol. An amazing talent show mind you, but still not math

You lol

In our general knowledge books it was given. Not to offend, Maybe you people had different syllabus.

I had maths puzzles book from Shakuntala, so I knew abt her.

Because our government thought Tippu Sultan was smarter then her....

The state syllabus of Andhra Pradesh during late 1990’s and early 2000’s had her maths textbook . My maths test book by Shakuntala Devi was part of the school syllabus

Every engineering student in India knows Shakuntala Devi. I even have her book

There is no Nobel for Mathematics, just pointing it out.

nobel price for what?? in maths we have field's medal and she doesnt deserve it

@@Qhsjahajw Exactly my point. People need to understand that math is much, much more than calculating. EDIT : Also, the government has nothing to do with Field's Medal

@@rajdeepsindhu9268 I mean seriously what do they think of nobel prize, its not given to some performer, if that were the case the ones who broke her record should also be awarded

@@Qhsjahajw Classic people of the internet.

White Noise Though her talent was recognized by guinness books of records in 1982 itself, post that children in schools were not taught anything about her skills and hence we did not know about this genius. Can you tell us the year you learnt about this puzzle book?

90s kids i.e. born in the 80s surely know her because we tried to solve puzzles in her books. I don't know about kids from later years.

then you have studied from the wrong school

Really😳😳

I too have a pair of them..

She is a genius.populer during 70s

I had a Math teacher in school liked to talk about some great mathematicians of India like Ramanujan, Aryabhata, Bhaskaracharya, Shakuntala Devi, etc., and also used to talk about how our vedas explained many mathematical theorems on every first day of school. It used to be so frustrating, She used to take 2 lectures straight. But now I thank her for this, I am glad that I am one of those people who know Shakuntala Devi even before her film!!!

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UkHRmuN7P2c.html Shakuntala Devi was an Indian writer and mathematical genius. She is popularly known as the “Human-Computer” for making complicated mathematical calculations in her head and effortlessly speaking out the results. Her extraordinary abilities earned her a place in “The Guinness Book of World Records.”

I was blessed to have a GK teacher in primary classes who always made sure that we know about all the great humans especially Indians. And the books our principal introduced to us were really beneficiary too

because - In Medak she stood against the former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi,[26] saying she wanted to "defend the people of Medak from being fooled by Mrs. Gandhi";

I was wondering the same, even in that era their pronunciation is flawless and with natural accent

Yaa actually people back then used to follow the standard accent that was the British one My grandfather has a pure english accent and yaa one prospect of the time is like becoming dumb and just blaming the accent

Even i thought the same

Even if you look at the ads we made in 80s & 90s, the English used was flawless & classy! We used British English ..

True

U r so glad...we didn't know anything about her😭

Don't lie bro

Ranjana shimpi?

Demure

Is it .... really good

Wow lucky you are

She mastered giving shows where we think she is generating humor and she actually uses the same time to computer answer. Did we ever see her giving a straight answer without repeating question twice or thrice which is already written.

@@kalyaniy2545 whatever

@@vijayawakode5140 whatever

@Shubham Johri exactly why she didn't generate any humor while she calculated 23rd root if she mastered to whatever level? Try watching all of her shows. In all the serious time based shows.. she doesn't joke because if she does that, it will take more time to calculate as the problems are tougher. Most of the folks here think that she has some magical mind where she gives instant answers and she also doesn't know how she does it (portrayed in the movie too) and the reason being she is good at giving shows where some assume that she is giving instant answers where she talks out of it by repeating and asking if you want answer like this or like that and so on. She confesses? Seriously do you think she didn't practise the day before she is giiving a show to those many people. And if people were to ask her questions directly rather than she taking all of them in paper and choosing how she wants to proceed, things would have been different where you wouldn't find any humor. She is an extraordinary lady with some fast calculation speeds. Her mastery is limited to certain operations and my point being here is, she will do whatever she want to make show great and her mastery is not related to her humor

She nailed it

lol, that's so wrong, our cheapest smartphones today would be thousands if not lakhs of times faster than the most powerful computer in her time 50+ years ago.

If she explained how she do that calculation then she would be remembered in every math book 📖

The best comment 😂😂😂

🤣 How underrated!!!

Genuinely funny

Made my day broo

Why will she walk out?? Everyone else shall walk out

*They teach Vedic math (this math) in many UK schools. But in India it would be shut down as hindutva policy. Far too many Indians hate Hinduism more than they love life.*

@@roughnotes0033 yes well said, v r against our own culture

That's because she never told anyone, how she does the calculations. She used to do shows like a magician, do magicians tell their tricks?

@@gorkym8864 lol born talent? If she was born with maths as a talent, why was she able to do fast calculations mostly for root extraction and multiplication? Why not other operations? She practiced a ton on both since childhood and started giving shows as a performer. No one can teach her methodologies because she never revealed them at that time. Now a lot of people can spend time memorizing logarithmic tables and do those calculations.

@@gorkym8864 You have never read Vedic math. Feel free to enroll in a few courses if you're in UK, ever. She was a born genius but if you bothered to read her books, she talks about how ordinary folks like you can learn the technique through Vedic mathematics. Your hatred for Indian & Vedic culture is clear. That is precisely why Shakuntala Devi is not well known or celebrated in India. It's full of people who hate everything of their own. Adios!

Vidya Balan got it horribly wrong in depicting the character of Ms. Shakuntala Devi. Her body language during these sessions were not what was depicted in the movie. Felt frustrated after watching the movie. It was over dramiatized and showed Ms. Shakuntala Devi in a negative light.

Right. Vidya balan bilkul bhi shakuntala Devi ki tarah action nahin kar rahi hai vah bilkul hi nautanki Devi lag rahi

True... And that horrible laugh after every dialogue was a turn off.. shankuntala devi looked so graceful in real life.. vidya looked a bit cheap

You can't judge the entire life of a person watching a small clip over you tube. Period

What are you expecting then , Its a movie which needs a dramatic scope otherwise why the hell will u watch someone acting same like any other person. She did justified her role. And playing it same like actual shakuntala devi would have been real but disaster and boring to watch for 2 straight hours

Dude there is international mental calculator world cup every year where many many people including indians participate and who do things she used to do every year.
