Essence of Indian Knowledge Tradition
## Course Description: Non-Orthodox Philosophical Traditions in Indian Knowledge Traditions This course offers an in-depth exploration of philosophical traditions in ancient India that diverged from or challenged the dominant "orthodox" (Vedic-Brahmanical) schools. Moving beyond conventional narratives, we will meticulously examine the unique metaphysical, epistemological, ethical, and sociological insights offered by these heterodox systems. The module begins by delving into two profound paths to liberation: **Buddhism and Jainism**. We will unpack the life and seminal teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, focusing on the transformative power of the Four Noble Truths and the practical wisdom of the Eightfold Path, leading to the ultimate state of Nirvana. Core Buddhist concepts such as Anicca (impermanence), Anatta (non-self), and Dukkha (suffering) will be thoroughly analyzed for their philosophical depth and practical implications. Concurrently, we will explore the life and teachings of Mahavira, uncovering the foundational principles of Jainism, with a particular emphasis on the comprehensive doctrine of Ahimsa (non-violence) in thought, word, and deed. The intricate Jain concepts of Anekantavada (multi-faceted reality) and Syadvada (doctrine of conditional predication) will be examined for their contribution to epistemology and their promotion of intellectual humility, alongside the fundamental distinction between Jiva (soul) and Ajiva (non-soul). Subsequently, the course shifts to a radical counter-narrative: **Charvaka philosophy**. We will investigate its staunch materialism, particularly its unwavering emphasis on direct perception as the sole valid source of knowledge. The course will critically analyze Charvaka's rejection of supernaturalism, religious rituals, and concepts of an afterlife, understanding its significance as a testament to intellectual freedom and a vital counter-point within the diverse landscape of Indian Knowledge Traditions. A brief overview of other less documented but equally significant minor philosophical schools will also be provided to illustrate the breadth of intellectual inquiry. Through detailed analysis and critical engagement with primary concepts, this course aims to provide students with a nuanced understanding of the rich intellectual pluralism that characterized ancient Indian philosophy, highlighting the unique contributions of these non-orthodox traditions to the pursuit of truth, ethical living, and human liberation.

Theory of Computation
This course provides a rigorous and foundational exploration of the theoretical underpinnings of computer science, delving into the fundamental capabilities and limitations of computation. Students will embark on a journey from simple computational models to the most powerful and general abstract machines, laying the groundwork for understanding what computers can and cannot do. The course begins by introducing automata theory, starting with Finite Automata (FA) – both deterministic (DFA) and non-deterministic (NFA). We will examine their formal definitions, operational principles, and equivalence, and explore how they are used to define Regular Languages. Key topics include the closure properties of regular languages under various operations and the crucial Pumping Lemma for Regular Languages, which provides a powerful tool for proving that a language is not regular. The practical relevance of finite automata in areas like lexical analysis and text processing will also be highlighted. Building on this foundation, the course progresses to more expressive models, specifically Pushdown Automata (PDA). We will define their structure, understand their operation involving a stack, and establish their connection to Context-Free Grammars (CFG). Students will learn how CFGs are used to describe the syntax of programming languages and natural language, including the concepts of derivations, parse trees, and ambiguity. The limitations of PDAs and CFGs will be discussed, along with the Pumping Lemma for Context-Free Languages, enabling us to identify languages beyond this class. Conversion to Chomsky Normal Form (CNF) and the CYK algorithm for parsing will be covered, illustrating practical applications in compiler design. The pinnacle of our exploration is the Turing Machine (TM), introduced as the most general and widely accepted model of computation. We will thoroughly examine its formal definition, components (tape, head, control unit), and step-by-step operational principles. The course will address the equivalence of various Turing Machine variants (multi-tape, non-deterministic, etc.) to the basic model, underscoring its robustness. This leads to the profound Church-Turing Hypothesis, which posits that anything effectively computable can be computed by a Turing Machine, setting the ultimate boundaries of computation. Finally, the course delves into the critical concepts of computability theory. We will differentiate between decidable (recursive) languages, for which algorithms always halt with a "yes" or "no" answer, and Turing-recognizable (recursively enumerable) languages, for which algorithms may loop indefinitely on non-members. The closure properties of both decidable and Turing-recognizable languages under various operations (union, intersection, complement, concatenation, Kleene star) will be systematically analyzed. A significant focus will be placed on undecidability, particularly the infamous Halting Problem, demonstrating that there are inherent limitations to what computers can solve, regardless of their processing power. By the end of this course, students will have a deep theoretical understanding of computational models, the classification of languages based on their complexity, and the fundamental limits of what can be computed. This knowledge is essential for advanced studies in algorithm design, complexity theory, compiler construction, artificial intelligence, and the very nature of computation itself.
