And people think there was nothing in Indian education before English. Sigh. 
Poor students who could not pay for their education could do work - Similar to work-study programs of today! #Nalanda #University
Truth about #Arabic numbers and so many such other things :)
And this is why people in India (mostly) stare at you if you told "March 21st is "Vasanta Vishuava" - but are cool with "First Day of Spring". And why Kranti Vrtta is will meet a blank look but "ecliptic" is just fine. Rashi Chakra is unheard of, but it is Zodiac all the way.
Alas, this is so true even today. That's how someone writing a column for a newspaper in English can literally "cook-up" pseudofacts like "Sambhaji invented Sambar" and can go unquestioned. (And also have the article retweeted a billion times , as they have journo connections😡)
So from here, it was all downhill.
Another "golden era" in Indian governence was during Ala-ud-din Khilji, "the first to methodically restructure taxation" as per if #ArchitectureReuseExpert from Delhi University ( I think tax ran to 50%)
These so called experts are teaching history & lying through their teeth😡

Linking the video link once again: It is very well presented - concise and clear on what it tells. Couple of names were said incorrectly, but let's leave that with the एको हि दोषो गुण संन्निपाते। निमज्जतीन्दोः किरणेष्विवांकः logic🙏
