#MotherAndal abuser Vairamuthu thanks #Missionariymafia for introducing 'Education' to Indians!
#MotherSonia praiser @ShekharGupta thanks Nehru for introducing 'Science'!

Either they are joking or they are thinking we are fools!
India had a fantastic education system b4 these desert invaders stepped inside our land. Owing to large-scale destruction of libraries & academic institutions by invading armies in the 12 CE, our science was lost forever. But the surviving pvt collections tells us the greatness!
To me, the western science research only the observed and completely ignores the observer. But our Indian system, Vaisesika system (VS), considers mind & consciousness as a starting point. Kaṇāda (of VS) in his sutras enumerates real entities.
We don’t know when actual study of mechanics started, may be before 6 BCE. But Vaisesikas school which proposed “atomic theory” that was deduced purly through logic. Logic as a tool eliminated fallacies and superstitions. They were realists
The VS has categories not only for space-time-matter but also for attributes
related to the matter. It starts with 6 categories (padārthas) that are knowable. Nothing beyond these six is necessary, as they r sufficient to describe everything in the universe from matter to atom.
For example, Bhaskara II, gave us the concept of tatkalika gate (instantaneous velocity) with a formula v=s/t (Where v is average velocity, s is the distance travelled and t is the time taken). Through this formula, Bhaskara could calculate planetary motions.
Bhaskara's work on calculus predates Newton and Leibniz by over half a millennium. He is particularly known in the discovery of the principles of differential calculus and its application to astronomical problems and computations.
The Vedas mention gold, silver, iron, lead, copper, bronze, and tin. The Chāndogya Up 4.17.7 has the passage “one binds gold by means of lavaṇa (borax) & silver by means of gold, tin by means of silver, lead by means of tin, iron by means of lead, and wood by means of iron etc.,
In the area of smelting metals, Indians had acquired proficiency in the extraction of metals from ore, and also in the casting of metals. The copper-bronze metallurgy in the third millennium BCE was widespread and of high quality
South India had very advanced metal working processes which culminated in the development of the mythical Wootz steel around 300 BC. Swords made of these steel were thus very beautiful, extremely sharp, hard but yet flexible and shatter-resistant (they were superplastic!).
Even Sangam texts had the idea of atmosphere. Puram 35 says the surface of the earth as being covered by the dome of airless sky (just beyond the atmosphere) in one of the Puranaanooru songs. Chidambaram Temple imortalizes the concept of "Dark Matter" as Akash Shiva Lingam
All these came to a crashing end through the invasion of Abrahamic faiths in this land. With Bhaskara’s death in 1185, followed by Muhammad Ghori invasion in 1192, who destroyed all educational institutions including Nalanda University in 1193.
Even western scientists has to renounce their faith to progress in science, eg Darwin or Galileo. Catholics were burning people who was not believing their bullshit Geocentric theory!
India and China were rational and phenomenol in their science and technology by complimenting each other. One must read this thread to have some self pride. twitter.com/i/moments/9216…
Had there not been for Abrahamic faith, we could have scientific revolution few centuries back. We would have achieved an holistic development and possibly using twitter in 17AD itself.
