India vs the World. While we diss everything Indian, the world laps up everything Indian, however improbable it is.
Another one. Iran says Ayurveda is 5000 years old, India says Ayurveda is a quackery.
And this one. I came across this story of Gestapo picking an Indian Vedic scholar Viswanatha Sastry from Rajahmundry area to use his knowledge of Indian scriptures to make weapons many times, whatever the truth in it.
Mendeleev's Periodic Table
NASA, Polliur and Tipu's rockets
Look around. There are loads which the world acknowledged but India refuses to accept.
Sanskrit and AI.
Now, if a Chinese or a Britisher comes up with this claim, What would he do? I am least surprised If it turns out that Sutiyas invented gunpowder.
The basis of modern scientific mathematics. Kepler, Laplace, Brahe, Newton, Euhler,...

If a kingdom crashes from the peak of it's power to non-existence, do we ever think of their heroes? There are very few kingdoms whose heroes are known but nothing is known after the collapse of the kingdom. Take Kakatiyas for example.
Prataparudra's career was victory after victory with a few reversals. What happened to all those great commanders? He defeated the Yadavas, Pandyas, Hoysalas, Kampili and even the Delhi Sultanate. But then the kingdom fell crashing down, what happened to those people?
Let me name some of them.

This is what Amir Khusro said over Malik Kafur's Warangal expedition. One shouldn't have any problem with this paragraph. But, there is a problem. Where is this Anamkanda Hill? Image
This is not what is equated to the hill from which Hanumakonda got it's name(Padmakshi Gutta) simply because the hill contains a 2000 year old temple and there are at least three main Kakatiya Temples in that area -
Padmakshi Temple on the hill itself, Siddheswara Temple and Bhadrakali Temple. Now, with their penchant for destruction of Hindu temples, one would be surprised that none of three temples are desecrated. Why? Image

Was going through Burton Stein's Vijayanagara from Cambridge History of India. My rating? 3/10. Any opinions on his writeup?
I saw two major flaws in his writing.
1. His derision of anything Indian, this despite the fact that Krishna Raya's Vijayanagara is
the second largest city in the contemporary world and Vijayanagara "gifted" the mighty Portuguese Goa.
2. The kings of Vijayanagara didn't have any control on the kingdom except for the immediate vicinity of capital city. They survived on token vassalage and share in collections.
A few snippets.
Ekachatradhipatya mocked by saying a part of Karnataka is not the whole world. Care to check the title of the King of Portugal in 1500 or may be, the Treaty of Tordesillas? Image

Uff...this Anumakonda Kaifiyat is throwing many surprises. Just look at the number of temples in Warangal.

To search for something, I opened Nilakantha Sastri's Further Sources of Vijayanagara History and I came across a few good poems. Let me post a few over Krishna Raya.

Just look at the comments. Same like India. Hatred for Trump is drowning the whole discussion - can Facebook or Twitter censor American Government? People have already thrown that question away.
And if this is really that email, both Twitter and Facebook made a mess of themselves. Just look at the English. Chaireman and such spellings. Obviously fake.
So, allowing leaked(not exactly leaked, but stolen and photoshopped) Rafale documents is fine?
