General knowledge

The Gupta period is often called the golden age of ancient India because of the flowering of art, science and literature (Kalidasa, Aryabhata).

गुप्त काल को कला, विज्ञान और साहित्य के उत्कर्ष (कालिदास, आर्यभट) के कारण प्रायः प्राचीन भारत का स्वर्ण युग कहा जाता है।

Science: flowering plants are angiosperms (seeds inside fruits); non-flowering seed plants are gymnosperms (pine, cycas).

विज्ञान में फूल वाले पौधे angiosperms (आवृतबीजी, फलों के भीतर बीज) हैं; बिना फूल के बीज वाले gymnosperms (अनावृतबीजी, चीड़, साइकस)।
