The Power of Hindu Mathematics | Satya Samvad EP 12 

Mathemtics is mathematics. Nobody calls Gauss or Euler's contributions as European mathematics or Christian mathematics. Human knowledge is unversal. Otherwise, we have to say Jewish theory of relativity!

@@a6hiji7 you are missing the point , its about recognizing and giving respect to indian civilization for its contribution , its not about riligion nd all ,

@@a6hiji7 "Nobody calls Gauss or Euler's contributions as European mathematics or Christian mathematics" - What if Gauss or Euler's contributions were wiped out maliciously and some other identity was forced and disseminated? Thats exactly what happened with Hindu mathematicians. You care about "Euler" and "Gauss", you care about "Einsteins theory of relativity" but not for those Hindu mathematicians and their contributions.

​@a6hiji7 When Eurocentric Racist Historians dictate the history of science, your BS universality is taken with pinch of salt. Recognize the original contributors, not the people like Newton who stole others works got into limelight.

There is such a thing as BharatIya contribution in Mathematics. There is such a thing a Western mathematics. What we are all taught is everyhting in mathematics mostly came from Europe. Hindu Mathematics as in the geographical region east of the SIndhu River.

Thank you for the list.

Jab itana mehnat kiye hi ho to source bhi bata do..

Still hasn’t. All institutions are still the same as pre-2014. Only thing that changed is the narrative in social media.

yeah i agree , some secular intellectuals (leftist ) will say that its not about riligion i mean wts hindu is not just riligion but everything

Please aishe chutiya comment na Kiya Karo, that we are 100% scientific.

Ji First let us come out from those Anti BHARAT Shackles within The BHARAT.

he said that he started to realize our ancient contribution after its college education so how his parents influence him?

Mr Micpin, a.k.a This kind of thinking is flawed, First, thanks for clearly expressing your thoughts - sceptical, yes. Cynical, hopefully, not! Not only you, but a large chunk of Indians share your view. Heck, I used to think like that 10 years ago. So I empathize with you. The purpose of organizations such as infinity foundation is to dispel such myths for the world but especially for Indians themselves. 1. You say, "For one, it's impossible to excel in just one aspect of science, such as mathematics -- should be proficient in all fields of human endeavour ...But you did not." BUT, oh yes we did. For all these fields just google them with a prefix "Indian" as in "Indian Philosophy", you may be in for a surprise! From your description you have not studied in depth about temple architecture in South India or Cave temples in the north dating back to 600BC. These are architectural, engineering and artistic marvels. Taj Mahal, one of the world wonders, is merely a pretty mausoleum compared to these. It would be impossible to build these monuments without blueprints, geometry, calculation planning, management and resource allocation. It is news to even many Indians that Sushruta (600 BC) wrote a treatise on surgery and plastic surgery. Google Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) and USA's National Institute of health. Indian Ayurvedic medicine is pretty deep and closest to personalized medicine. Since the first century BC up until 1700 India and china held 45% world GDP each because of their agricultural and engineered products. Why do you think European powers were so desperate to find alternate ways to India? To share the Good Book? No, but to reach the riches. The Indus valley (3000BC) seals are found in Mesopotamia indicate economic exchange through the sea trade between them. Do you know that Vedas are the oldest living literature of the humans and the poetry and meter excels that of any language - according to Greek scholars. Please look up Prof. Nicholas Kazana's website to learn about the exalted literature, philosophy of Vedas and other Indian literature. The epics Ramayana and Mahabharata still provide the ethics, governance, warfare, diplomacy to the current generation people and professionals. Do you heard of Mahabharata? Written about 3000 years ago, the epic verse is the longest - even longer than Iliad and Odyssey - combined. It is true that Indians did not send any space vehicle until recently, but they were pioneers in astronomy and cosmology - they call it Jyotisha, the study of bright objects. They used astronomy to maintain calendars, historical records, and travel, especially navigation. This is a fascinating field. For psychology, one must read the Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. Patanjali was the teacher of Panini - the grammarian that linguists study at MIT. Arguing is essential in Indian society (see the book, Argumentative Indian by Nobel laureate Amartya Sen) as they are to Jews and Greeks. The various philosophical schools - Buddhist, Jainist, vedic and yes, Atheist - challenged and argued using rhetoric and logic. Google Charvaka. You say, "Secondly, if you were truly outstanding in mathematics, by logical extension you would also need to excel in all other endeavors" I hope you are not an Indian and even if so, it is time for you travel India. It is not expensive but could be arduous. Get a knowledgeable guide. Yes conquering did happen by Islam. Even after destroying Egyptian, Iranian and Anatolian civilizations, Islam could not destroy Indian civilization. Just as ISIS now, the earlier Jihadist Islam used the same tactics to spread its faith. Now it targets Europe - mainly UK and Germany which gave it refuge. Later, the western powers first came to trade and convert but slowly metastasized. India is waking up from the 500 years of that dark age. A comment below summarizes aptly: Lot of information was lost when our world famous libraries were ransacked and burnt to ashes by barbarians . "Thirdly, you should have been the ones to created industrial revolution hundreds or even 1000s of years before the Europeans. But you didn't. " India doesn't do revolutions. It evolves. There is no need when you are self sufficient and moral. When the Europe finally discovered industrialization, India was under the British rule which not only destroyed indigenous industries, looted the country, stole the raw materials and saw to that industrial progress did not reach its colonies. "Fourthly, even...after gaining independence in the 1940s, you should have developed into a first-world country". This is a very valid point. India should have but for the socialist leanings of early leaders like Nehru, unable unshackle the colonized mind of 500 years. But it is changing. 75 years may be a very long time for a young country like the USA. But it is just a blink of an eye for the old living civilizations like India and China. Continue your challenge, but also study, at least the Wiki. We call it Purva Paksha. Indology is a fascinating subject of the oldest and the newest civilization. As colorful , noisy, entertaining and enchanting like a bollywood movie and at the same time as profound and silent as the Upanishads that guided the likes of Oppenheimer, Schrödinger, Bohr, Heisenberg and several other philosophers such as Schopenhauer, Thoreau, Emerson and Mark Twain. You are in for a treat. Welcome to Bharat, as we call India!
