Not an exhaustive source of information – this is not a text book, of course. What I want to know is, is there a mother of any field of study? I browsed wiki, and the title there did say “List of people known as father or mother of something”, but my eyes failed to hit upon anything significant!

Hi Vani,
Thanks for visiting back… I liked your blog for your efforts to revive traditions… I would help ones who would like to know these things but somehow don’t make actual efforts!
