Around the first century BCE, the Shakas advanced from Sindh to Malwa, but were defeated by Vikram-aditya. This victory was marked by the Krita era, which later became known as Vikrama Samvat. image credit: wikipedia After defeating the Shakas, Chandragupta II took the name Vikram-aditya. Vikram-aditya is mentioned in works dating back before the Gupta era, including Brihathkatha and Gatha Saptashati, according to proponents of this theory. Because the Gupta capital was at Pataliputra, Vikram-aditya cannot be based on Chandragupta II (not Ujjain). Legends surrounding this first-century king graduall...

India has joined the select group of countries to have designed and built Vikrant, having begun sea trials today. While the program has suffered delays and cost overruns, the milestone is still a significant one for the Indian Navy and its air arm and is the next step toward India fielding its planned multiple-carrier force. Described by the Indian Navy as the nation’s largest and most complex warship, the Vikrant was built at Cochin Shipyard in Kerala and is a flagship of the “Make in India” initiative, which promotes indigenous projects to spur the country’s economic growth and technological know-how. According to the Indian Ministry of Defense, Vikrant has more than 76 percent indigenous content, but it’s been a long time coming — the Cabinet Committee on Security approved construction of the new carrier as long ago as 1999 and the planned commissioning date slipped from 2014 to 2018, and now to 2022. The new vessel has a reported top speed of 28 knots and an endurance of around 7,500 nautical miles, powered by General Electric LM2500 gas turbines. With a length of 860 feet, a width of 203 feet at its widest point, and a height of 194 feet including the superstructure, Vikrant is comparable in dimensions to the Indian Navy’s current aircraft carrier, Vikramaditya, a completely reworked Kiev class warship. That ship was first ordered from Russia in 2004, but suffered extensive delays in the conversion process, and was not commissioned into Indian service until 2013. Howe...
