A very nice post. Thank you Prasad-ji for the link.
Pity that no one has anything to add or comment though nearly 90% of the postings in this forum are about ancient Indians and our evolution to this day.

India is one of the oldest and richest civilizations in the world. It is home to the world's first planned cities, where every house had its own
bathroom and toilet five thousand years ago. The Ancient Indians have not only given us yoga, meditation and complementary medicines, but they
have furthered our knowledge of science, maths -- and invented Chaturanga, which became the game of chess. According to Albert Einstein, they
"taught us how to count", as they invented the numbers 1-9 and 'zero', without which there would be no computers or digital age. Unfairly we call
this system of counting Arabic numbers -- a misplaced credit. Two thousand years ago the Indians pioneered plastic surgery, reconstructing the
noses and ears on the faces of people who had been disfigured through punishment or warfare. They performed eye operations such as cataract
removal and invented inoculation to protect their population from Smallpox, saving thousands of lives.''
Someone from the West has to tell us all these!

Thank you Raji madam for your on-the-spot value addition
First task is to compile a list of manuscripts and books (many were translated from 15th century) in samskrit and regional languages on astronomy, astrology, mathematics and sciences. The list will run to several thousands.
Today if okne were to read newton's laws of motion in newton's words in Latin, he will not understand them. Translation and continuous refinement to suit the period has enhanced its visibility. It is our misfortune that the sutras were not disseminated for a wider reading. This has nothing to do with brahmins, as except Vedas, this knowledge was available to all.
