"If a thing is truly infinite, can it really have finite parts?
Are discrete points of infinity potentially infinite?"
Adi Shankara
730 CE
"Thank you Shankara. Mathematically I found that when the variable attains its maximum value, the differential vanishes"
Bhaskara II
1150 CE
Without doubt, modern math emerged from Indic philosophy. The world needs to accept this. Math is being taught without the foundation of *correct* philosophies that inspired it. Worse, it is taught with *wrong* church ideals & fake stories like falling apples & naked Archimedes.
I could detect a possible connection with my limited reading. If mathematicians & Sanskrit scholars work together, we can decipher the axiomatic rationale behind Bhaskara & Madhava. How did their minds work?
India has the potential to alter the philosophy & direction of Science
You say soft power is useless? You say India has none? Here is one right here! Depends on how it is wielded.

I am astonished by the Sanskrit scientific vocabulary, my heritage, I was denied.
"ജാലികാസിരവിന്യാസം, സമാന്തരസിരവിന്യാസം എന്നിവ തരം തിരിക്കുക"
I can't even understand what botanical concept that stands for! I never thought I'd be reading a middle school textbook this eagerly.
These students are doing more for preserving our heritage than most of us can ever do in a lifetime. The least we can do is strive to create a society where they are not discriminated or disadvantaged in any way.
Did Immanuel Kant(1724-1804) study/steal Indic philosophy?
-Distinct similarities with Chandrakirti(600 CE)
-His "categorical imperative" is niṣkāmakarma
-Vedic 'maya' & Kant's 'thing in itself'
-According to Hermann Jacobi(b 1850), Kant's 'Aesthetics' relies on Hindu treatises
-Kant talked of Indian culture in his lecture at königsberg university
-Helmuth Von Glasenapp's book 'Kant and religions of the east' has Indic religious passages from Kant's writings that no one knew of.
-His student Johann Fichte(1762-1814)published a book influenced by Advaita
What is the use of a philosopher who talks of high ethics if he practices none of it?
"Portuguese, Dutch and English have been, year after year, shipping home treasures of India in their big vessels. We Germans have been left to watch it. Schlegel, Bopp, Humboldt etc are our East Indian sailors. Bonn and Munich(Universities) will be good factories"
-Georg Brandes
The west is drunk with a false notion that their 17th century philosophical explosion is an independent achievement. A neurotic & successful self-deception. But the truth is, from Kant to Nietzsche, Vedic-Buddhist philosophy and logic was ripped to shreds to make it happen.
Which is fine. Its wisdom after all. Take & share. Just as the Rishis and Bodhisattvas intended. But to drain the mind of a civilization for centuries, even as you colonize it into ruin, deny the intellectual debts while corrupting every page of its history with racist garbage...
Celestial wheel turns in 360 days
Dirgatamas~2600BCE
True year is between 365 & 366
Yajur,2400BCE
366 for civil use!
Lagadha,1370 BCE
Correction month in 2.5 yrs!
Kautilya,300BC
365.2588
Surya Sid-200CE
365.2585
Aryabhata
Modern sidereal-365.25636
1560-Christopher Clavius sends several Jesuits to Kerala to learn Jyotisha, accurate trignometric tables etc
1582-Gregorian calendar adopted with Indian Ahargana system('Julian numbers'); 11 October days dropped
1752-British empire adopts Gregorian
1956-India adopts Gregorian
Aryabhata's value is off by just 3mins 20sec. The true solar year is the sidereal, not the Tropical one which the Gregorian continues to use, along with many unscientific & arbitrary absurdities such as '28' Feb days.
'Jan 1' has no significance whatsoever. Well, Happy new year!
Here are reasons for inadmissibility of 'Subtrate' arguments- 1. Many(including Lubotsky) themselves admit that they are arbitrarily using the word 'Substrate' as against 'adstrate'. This invalidates any attempt to use it as evidence of AIT.
From Talageri-
2. The vast majority of words tortured up- and all of so called BMAC words- are either late or post Rig Vedic
3. If these adstrates are proof of AIT, then the HUGE Semitic, old European and Uralic loans in western branches which are ABSENT in Indo-Iranian & Tocharian proves OIT
4. It is known that Austroasiatic/Munda immigrated into India after~4000BP. Irrelevant to OIT. Witzel's 'Para Munda' falls flat.
5. Isidone Dyen has demonstrated co-development between PIE and Proto-Austronesian. This is possible ONLY in OIT scenario. nature.com/articles/s4159…
