It was the brilliant physicist, James Maxwell who pioneered electrodynamics. However, it was a brilliant engineer like Oliver Heaviside who brought Maxwell’s theory into everyday life.
Transistor was invented in Bell Labs by 3 Scientists. Yet, engineers like Jack Kilby and Gordon Moore evolved it into integrated circuits, thus revolutionising the modern world.
Alan Turing is known as the father of computer science. But, brilliant engineers like Bill Gates made computing accessible to every table.
In today’s world, Data Scientists can build and test hypotheses. Still, you need Data Engineers and ML engineers to take it to production.
In conclusion, with all due respect, Scientists set us on a journey from 0 to 1. But, engineers take us from 1 to 99.(These lines have been borrowed and ‘re-engineered’ from Peter Theil)

History has been at large ‘His’ story. ‘Her’ story hasn’t received that due attention. Hence, Indic Academy has come up with Aryaa — An Anthology of Vedic women. And, the author of this article is one of the writers. This is an Anthology of women in India’s past, who shaped/reshaped the civilizational ethos for the good.
My story revolves around the famous character of Shakuntala. We usually see her story from Kalidasa’s angle; the famous love story of Dushyanta and Shakuntala. However, my story focuses on Shakuntala, the mother. After all, she was the mother of the man whose name our civilization draws: Bharatvarsha.
She was a wife, a mother, a queen-mother, friend, or anything she wished to be.
She protected the king, shaped an emperor, challenged a sage, etc.
A manifestation of eternally present Shakti, she was Aryaa.
