The Govt should commission a new Purana in Sanskrit. It should cover the entire recorded history of the civilization state of Bharatam in the native perspective. From the spread of Indo-European tribes from Sapta Sindhu(3500-2000 BCE) to the 1st war of Independence in 1857 CE.
It should then be translated to every vernacular. The Puranas are the world's oldest historical tradition originally created by 100s of Vedic era court bards/Pauranikas. There is no need for us to blindly follow the colonial methods of histography whose pollution must be removed.
Purana writing continued even till modern times. True, lots of ahistorical stories, mythology, exaggerations & chronological errors have crept into the major puranas over the last 3500 years. These shortcomings must be corrected while we extract history from original Vedic texts.

"The first cause was a self aware singularity.The truth is ∞"
Yajnavalkya, 2000 BCE

"There is nothing permanent. Not even the self. The truth is 0"
Buddha, 500 BCE

"Truth is multifaceted. Both 0 & ∞"
Mahavira, 500 BCE

"Mathematically I found that 0=1/∞"
Bhaskara II, 1150 CE
This is why Europe would never have discovered zero and calculus on its own even after a thousand years. They simply did not have the phisosophical foundation for it. They did it the easy way- mass plagiarism of Indian hard work.
This is also why Indic darsanas(Vedic, Jain and Buddhist) should not be treated as 'religions'. They are not a bunch of dogmas at eternal conflict with each other like middle Eastern faiths. They are high philosophies that directly inspired modern mathematics.

What is truly pitiable are your asinine answers to her valid questions.

-Law of the hypotenuse was NOT stated by Pythagoras.

-Bījagaṇita was NOT invented by al-Khwārizmī. He was a mere commentator.

-It was the Vedic mathematician Baudhayana(~1700 BCE) who discovered both.
-Baudhayana was the first mathematician to state the law. His successor Apasthamba(~1600 BCE) was the first mathematician to state the Baudhayana theorem WITH proof.

-Baudhayana also stumbled upon Proto-Bījagaṇita . He investigated the basic forms (ax^2=c) and (ax^2+bx=c)
Sulba Sutras are appendages to mathematical sections of older Brahmana texts with complex altar constructions(~2000 BCE)

-The math & metrology of Vedic texts are found applied ONLY IN Mature Harappan cities(2600–1900 BCE)

-The antiquity of this Indian knowledge is indisputable

#PiApproximationDay
Here is the Indian story of Pi-

Yajnavalkya 2000BCE->339/108=3.1388..(.09% error)
Baudhayana 1700BC 3.08
Jainas 400BC 3.16
Aryabhata 499CE 3.1416
Govindaswami 800CE 3.14159265
Madhava,1370 3.14159265358
Nilakanta 1480, 'Folks!Pi is irrational'

Ramanuja 1914:
Yajnavalkya is the first named mathematician in history associated with pi. No name from contemporary Egypt or Mesopotamia is known. Of the many values in Shatapatha Brahmana, 339/108 is the best. The history of Science & Math should begin with his name.
Courtesy: Kosla Vepa
While Aryabhata used the practically elegant value of 3.1416, he was also aware that pi can only be 'approached' and is in fact an irrational number. This makes him the first mathematician to realize this.

My 11 year old cousin showed me this from her ICSE text. Do you think it is easy to tell her "What your textbook teaches you is an outdated, racist lie.The truth is far more interesting, glorious and liberating"?

@HRDministry @ncert, reform should start from this rot of AIT! Image
The Aryan invasion theory is the deepest rot in our education system. It inculcates a deep sense of cultural inferiority in Indian children at an extremely impressionable age. Everything noble and ancient about India is attributed-without any proof whatsoever-to white Europe.
Any promise or stunt of 'NCERT reforms' by @HRDministry that fails to purge this baseless lie is nothing short of cowardice and irredeemable incompetence. Indic scholars have recovered marvelous historical facts. If students must find out on their own, what's the use of history?

Did you know?

According to Tsung Chang's research, proto-Chinese language was heavily influenced by Indo-European- Almost 2/3rd of basic Chinese vocabulary was IE loanwords!

Was the 'Yellow emperor'(~2400 BCE), father of Chinese culture & language a nomadic invader from India?
"I have traced about 1500 cognate words,roughly two-thirds of the basic vocabulary in Old Chinese....found in all spheres of life including kinship, animals, plants, hydrography, landscape, parts of the body, politics and religion and even pronouns & prepositions"
-Tsung Chang
We already know of Uttarakurus repeatedly mentioned in Bronze age Vedic texts as old as the Brahmanas as living somewhere north of Kashmir. Tocharian is a centum language, which means it left India in very ancient times.

The influence on Chinese language is also from Centum!
