Snakes and Ladders is an ancient Indian game which was brought to the west by the British in 1892.
It was called Mokshapath meaning Path to Salvation.
In sanskrit Moksha=Salvation and Path=Path.
This game originated in ancient India and was called Mokshapath which means the path of salvation.
It was also called Param Pad Sopanam or The Highest Place.
The ultimate goal of the game was to achieve salvation by reaching the top.
Every time a person does a bad deed, he ends up at the snake’s mouth and is demoted in the game of attaining salvation.

Ancient Bharat's Forgotten Scientists & Mathematicians
Pingala's Binary System

Acharya Pingala is said to have lived around 400-200 BC, maybe earlier and is believed to be the brother of the well known Sanskrit grammarian MahaRishi Pāṇini. Image
Acharya Pingala discovered the immense possibilities of Binary numbers quite by accident, which today are used for Computing language. He was working on the meter or Chandah of Vedas. Our Vedas were composed in meters or Chandah.
Most Indian Languages have the Deerga or long swar and the Laghu or short swar. This combination of long and short sounds is the basis of Sanskrit prosody or meter or chandah. In 200 BCE, a work called Chandahsastra was authored by Pingala, the Mathematician.

Hindu scriptures such as Vedas and Upanishads are full of profound knowledge and wisdom. It is sangam of knowledge, inspirations, motivations, intuitions, poetry, philosophy, wisdom, science and vision. Knowledge of Vedas is eternal.
That’s why it attracts even non-Hindus towards Vedas. There are several famous foreign personalities who have shown keen interest towards Vedas, Upanishads and Hindu spirituality. One such famous personality is Hollywood superstar Hugh Jackman.
During a 2014 interview, he had admitted his fascination with Vedic literature and traditions.
It feels really great to see that while our leftist-liberal secular mafia belittles the Vedic tradition and underrate the profound wisdom of Hinduism.

MahaRishi Manu, a Kshatriya King, hailing from the Solar Dynasty and an ancestor of Prabhu Shri Rama has been vilified by the Marxist, Jihadi anti Hindu ''historians'' as a ''Brahman who created the most casteist as well as anti Dalit anti women'' laws ~ 1
Laws in his #Manusmriti that was written and compiled tens of thousands of years ago to '' establish Brahman hegemony'' over the ''lower castes''.
The fact is none of this is the truth. Majority of Hindus do not understand Sanskrit nor they have ever bothered to study
A line of these ancient scriptures so to counter the fake narrative of the Leftists and Jihadis and so called western scholars like Wendy Donniger, Audrey Truschke, who have continue to spew venom at Hindus and Hinduism and have interpolated our scriptures with false verses.

Acharya Sayana is the First person to explain the Speed of Light as per our ancient Sanskrit scripture Rig Veda.

In a statement on the Rigveda given by Sayanacharya, he says,
tatha ca smaryate yojananam sahasre dve dve sate dve ca yojane ekena nimisardhena kramamana
तथा च स्मर्यते-य- जनाना सहस्ट्रे द्वे-द्वे शते द्वे च योजने | एकेनं निमशारधेन क्रम मान नामोस्तुटे-
