context_page_description: K C Paul or Kartik Chandra Paul is an Indian conspiracy theorist, self-proclaimed scientist and astronomer who has for almost the last forty years, been trying to prove that the Sun revolves around the Earth and not vice versa. As of 11 November 2018, according to a news article published in Ei Samay Sangbadpatra, Paul has shifted back to his house after a stay of 2 and a 1/2 years on the footpaths of Kolkata. He is still very interested to publicize his theory and works as he worked when he was on footpaths.
context_section_description: During the Sino-Indian War of 1962, he joined the Indian Army as a constable. Initially he was posted at Fatehgarh of Uttar Pradesh. Then he was transferred to Rajputana regiment. He served there for 15 years.
  In those days, the concept that the Sun revolved around the Earth came to his mind. He started studying and performing experiments. In 1974 he became assured that the conventional Heliocentrism theory is incorrect and in actuality the Sun revolves around the Earth.
  He wrote a thesis, self-published it and started publicizing his concept. A Hindi newspaper Amar Ujala took his interview and published it. According to Indian Army regulations, one can not give an interview without having prior permission. Paul was show-caused when he gave interviews to few other newspapers. Generally service is automatically terminated if the accused person does not reply within 30 days. Paul did not respond to the show-cause and he was terminated from Indian Army.
