Note on Indian Computers

The first modern Indian analog computer was apparently assembled in Calcutta (now Kolkata), in 1950. See Devaprasanna Sinha (08 2012), 'Glimpsing through Early Days of Computers in Kolkata, Computer Society of India, pgs. 5-6 [this is from Wikipedia]. (See the same source further for the first digital computer in India, at the Indian Statistical Institute in Calcutta, operational in 1956. This was purchased from the UK. http://www.csi-india.org/c/document_library/get_file?uuid=015efaaf-c6d4-4734-8b84-9240b906daa6&groupId=10616)
