Today is International Day of Sign Languages, observed as part of the International Week of the Deaf. This year's theme for the day is "Sign Languages Unite Us".

Sign languages are an indispensable part of our daily communication. So, the Office of Learning Support (OLS) asked the Ashoka community to sign a few common words and phrases in Indian Sign Language.

Did you know, sign languages are complete and linguistically complex, used by more than 70 million deaf people worldwide? In fact, there are more than 300 different sign languages!

It's time we recognise and accept them as languages. They are the vector of the inclusion of millions, both in deaf communities and in society at large, fostering the building of their own identities.

Audio description: There is a soft background music in this video.
Video description: Faculty, staff and students at Ashoka University signing hello, welcome, good morning, good afternoon, good night, how are you, beautiful, thank you, please, sorry, favourite food and bye. The final message 'Sign language unites us. Let's accept it as a language' is also signed. The video ends with the OLS logo.

Connecting world-renowned scientists to high school students & teachers. Join us for the fifth lecture - ’What makes a great programmer?’ on Tuesday, 4 Oct at 6 PM.

What makes a great programmer? How is programming similar to – and different from – other disciplines that require great skill and excellence? Is it an analytical or a creative discipline? This talk presents some philosophical musings on these questions and the practice and profession of programming. It is meant to provoke discussion and reflection and requires very little technical background.
