INDIA’s share in Technology Innovation made by Great Indians. Radio  In 1894, the Bengali physicist, Jagdish Chandra Bose, demonstrated publicly the use of radio waves in Calcutta, but he was not interested in patenting his work. He also ignited gunpowder and rang a bell at a distance using electromagnetic waves, showing independently that communication signals can be sent without using wires. In 1896, the Daily Chronicle of England reported on his UHF (Ultra High Frequency) experiments: "The inventor (J.C. Bose) has transmitted signals to a distance of nearly a mile and herein lies the first and obvious and exceedingly valuable application of this new theoretical marvel." The 1895 public demonstration by Bose in Calcutta was before Marconi's wireless signalling experiment on Salisbury Plain in England in May 1897. Simputer  The Simputer (acronym for "simple, inexpensive and multilingual people's computer") is a self-contained, open hardware handheld computer, designed for use in environments where computing devices such as personal computers are deemed inappropriate. It was developed in 1999 by 7 scientists of the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, led by Dr. Swami Manohar in collaboration with Encore India, a company based in Bangalore. Originally envisaged to bring internet to the masses of India, the Simputer and its derivatives are today widely utilized by governments of several Indian states as part of their e-governance drive, the Indian Army, as well as by other public and private organizations. Diamond  Diamonds were first recognized and mined in central India, where significant alluvial deposits of the stone could then be found along the rivers Penner, Krishna and Godavari. It is unclear when diamonds were first mined in India, although estimated to be at least 5,000 years ago. India remained the world's only source of diamonds until the 18th century. Optical Fiber Narinder Singh Kapany is often described as the "father of fiber optics", for inventing the glass fibre with cladding during the early 1950s.  His research and inventions have encompassed fibre-optics communications, lasers, biomedical instrumentation, solar energy and pollution monitoring.  Universal Serial Bus (USB) Computer architect Ajay Bhatt was the co-inventor of the Universal Serial Bus (USB).  He has been instrumental in driving definition and development of broadly adopted technologies such as USB (Universal Serial Bus), Accelerated Graphics Port, PCI Express, Platform Power management architecture and various chipset enhancements.  And the other innovations….  Inventions : Autocannon and multi-barrel Gun Bow Drill Button Crescograph Diamond Gemstone Dice Dyeing And the other innovations….
