Subhash Kak is an Indian-American computer scientist and historical revisionist.[1] He is the Regents Professor of Computer Science Department at Oklahoma State University–Stillwater,[2] an honorary visiting professor of engineering at Jawaharlal Nehru University,[3] and a member of the Indian Prime Minister's Science, Technology and Innovation Advisory Council (PM-STIAC).[4]
Kak has published on the history of science, the philosophy of science, ancient astronomy, and the history of mathematics.[2] Kak has also published on archaeoastronomy, and advocated the idea of Indigenous Aryans.[5] Many scholars have rejected his theories on these topics in entirety, and his writings have been heavily criticized.[5][6]
In 2019, the Government of India awarded him the Padma Shri,[7] the fourth highest civilian award in India,[8] for his contributions on the history of mathematics, science, ancient astronomy and philosophy of science.[9]
