[THREAD] Since it has been going around, how much knowledge is stolen from India, here is more. Europeans credit their knowledge to Greeks and their own individual brilliance. So in this respect let's tackle Greeks.
Indian Developments: Biology and Medicine, Sushruta Samhita /1
Charaka Samhita(Agnivesha tantra)
Botany: Vrikshayurveda by Parasara
Linguistics: Ashtadhyayi by Panini(grammar), Nirukta by Yaksa(etymology), Shiksha by Gargeya(phonetics) Chandashastra by Pingala(prosody)
Physics: Vaiseshika sutras by Kanada /2
Mathematics: Sulba Sutras(Pythgoras theorem, Pythagorean triplets, simple geometry, circling the square, Diaophantine eqauations, surds, irrational numbers ), Chandashastra by Pingala(binary numbers, hashing algorithms, pascals triangle, bionomials) /3
Ashtadhyayi by Panini(boolean logic, mathematical linguistics)
(Shree Madhavcharya's contribution)-
Epistemology and logic: Nyaya Sutras by Gotama
Metaphysics: Upanishads, Mahabharata(including gita)
/4
Economics and politics: Arthashastra by Kautaliya, Manusmiriti
Psychology: Yoga sutras by Patanjali
Now COMPARE the Greek works in the same fields;
Biology and Medicine: Hippocrotatic corpus, Animalium works by Aristotle. /5
Botany: Enquiry into plants, on the cause of plants by Theophrastus
Linguistics: Cletus by Plato, Rhetoric, logic by Aristotle
Physics: Aristotle's metaphysics(more natural philosophy)
Epistemology and logic: Aristotle's logic
Metaphysics and ethics: Plato's works /6
Economics and politics: Plato's republic, Aristotle politics
Psychology: Plato's works, Aristotle's De Anima
One will find the Greek works unremarkable in comparison and far less developed and refined. Unless one is being ignorant, this is glaringly obvious in the areas of /7
medicine, botany, linguistics, epistemology and mathematics. The Greeks have nothing to rival Panini, Pingala, Parasara and Patanjali. Hippocrates is not a match for Sushrutha and Charaka.
It seems as if the Greek works are almost an afterimage and a poor copy. The European /8
Historical development which is claimed as authentic will have you believe that they are independent developments, even that Indians might have borrowed from the Greeks, never the other way round. That is one of the Major reasons why so much effort is put into placing India /9
as contemporary to Greeks or maybe later. The AIT/AMT nonsense serves this of many purposes.
One of the straight giveaways is that Indian developments have a progress History of how knowledge was build upon earlier works which is natural evolution, on the other hand majority /10
European works, including Greeks just pop out of nowhere, with no buildup on earlier works. This is attributed to individual geniuses, how European Civilization gave the world genius people. This is a prima facie evidence of these lies. This is what control on narrative does. /n
