Hey! Friends, Today I was wondering why we kept on
learning the names of foreign scientists all the time, though Indian scientists
are also there but too less. All the time we are taught that Newton discovered this;
wright brother discovered that whereas we are being told about our great
ancestors since our childhood by our parents.
So where are all those great people??
Let me start from our great wright brother, you know in our
history who done this great innovation of flying plane, "The Shivkar Bapuji
Talpade" (1864-1916).Let me correct myself, actually he didn't invented a
flying plane but he invented an 'Unmanned Airplane'.
The Shivkar Bapuji Talpade
It happened back in 1895 when he constructed and flew India's
first unmanned airplane to a height of 1500 feet in front of 5000 people in
Baroda. So you might have the question that why didn't India claim its
supremacy over wright brothers. I didn't have the proofs but 'Late Mr. Rajeev
Dixit' a social worker told the people that a British company
cleverly betrayed him by signing some type of contract for his
design, which somehow reached wright brothers. It’s a kind of hilarious thing
that after 8 years wright brothers come up with flying plane in 1903
and credited as aviation pioneers.
Sometimes I wonder why our ancestors were not so clever. Why we
didn't conquer any country? Then my father says one thing, 'Our
ancestors were not taught to cheat, to hurt people, instead we Indians are
taught to love our brothers and sisters, respect our elders and live in peace
and harmony'.
But I believe those who dominate India might not have
any culture, tradition or a moral value, that is why they destroyed the world's
first and best universities of India i.e., Nalanda University and Takshila
University. The universities which were established in 4th century and 700 B.C respectively, when the world didn't
even know how to cultivate crops, at those times over 10,500 students from the
whole world travel to India to learn something or to explore more than 100
subjects. This was one of the greatest achievement in the field of education in Ancient India. The library of these universities had such a big collection of books that when Britishers burned them, the fire goes on for nearly six months.

I am lucky, that i am born Indian. Actually we Indians had ruled
in every field, like that of surgery.
The Suśruta (सुश्रुत) in 1500 B.C known as the 'The Father of Surgery', who was one of the
principal contributors to the ancient art and science of Ayurveda, a system of medicine and lifestyle developed
in India. Sushruta's collected
writings (modified over the ages by various authors) are known today as Suśruta
Saṃhitā, which
describes over 300 surgical procedures, 120 surgical instruments, and eight
categories of human surgery.
He and his team conducted complicated surgeries like cataract, artificial limbs, cesareans, fractures, urinary stones, plastic surgeries and even brain surgeries.

Gosh, no one is there to beat us in Mathematics too.
The Shridharacharya (c. 870 India-c. 930 India) was an India
mathematician born in Hoogly district in 10 century A.D. His major work discusses counting of numbers,measures,natural number, multiplication, division, zero, squares, cubes, fraction, rule of
three, interest-calculation, joint business or partnership and mensuration. Of all
the Hindu Acharyas the exposition of Sridharacharya on zero is the most
explicit. He has written, "If 0(zero) is added to any number,the sum is
the same number; If 0(zero) is subtracted from any number,the number remains
unchanged; If 0(zero) is multiplied by any number,the product is 0(zero)".
He has said nothing about division of any number by 0(zero). In the
case of dividing a fraction he has found out the method of multiplying the
fraction by the reciprocal of the divisor. He wrote
on practical applications
of algebra separated algebra from arithmetic. He was
one of the first to give a formula for solving quadratic equations
Do you Know, the largest
number Greeks and Romans used were 106 Whereas Hindus used
number as big as 1053 with specific names as early as 5000
B.C during Vedic Period. The work done in mathematics in Ancient India was
outstanding. The value of 'pi' was first calculated by the Indian Mathematician
Budhacharya in 6th Century, long before Europeans and he
explained the concept of Pythagoras theorem, as I said in my first
post that Pythagoras came to India to learn geometry.
Friends long before when people didn't even imagined about the
calculators, the great Indian Astronomer and Mathematician "The
Bhaskaracharya", who was known as the greatest mathematician
of medieval India rightly calculated the time taken by
earth to orbit sun i.e 365.258756484 days. His work on calculus predates Newton
and Leibniz by half a millennium. He is particularly known in the
discovery of the principles of differential calculus and its problems to
astronomical problems and computations.

Can we imagine airplanes or ships without navigation
systems? The art of navigation was born 6000 years ago in river Sindh,
India. The word 'Navigation' was derived from Sanskrit word
'Navigatih'. Navy is also Sanskrit word 'Nou'.
The person who says India is backward must know that the chess was
invented by India. Detailed knowledge of anatomy, embryology, digestion
metabolism, physiology, etiology, usage of anesthesia genetics, and immunity are also found in many
ancient Indian texts.
According to the Gemological Institute of America, up until 1896
India was the only source of diamonds to the world.
After Being Ruled By British Rulers
For More Than 200 Years, We Lost Our Real Culture, Education System, Many
Traditions
And The Most Important
'To Be Proud To Be An Indian'.
