European historians use a comparative notion of “balance of probabilities” when claiming knowledge transmission from Europe (Greece) to #India, but insist on the absolute notion of “beyond all reasonable doubt” for reverse transmission from India into #Europe. #decolonisation They use this double standard to sustain a Eurocentric history writing against their dialogical competitors, even in situations where application of this principle would make a stronger case for East-to-West transmission.

The #Math that has always worked for science is normal Indian math. But #India today continues to teach superstition-infused European math to millions of students without scrutiny.

A #thread on the urgent need for #decolonizing Indian education, based on #CKRaju's writings. Normal Indian math accepts empirical proofs. For example '1 apple + 1 apple = 2 apples' is 'empirical' because you can see it.

Empirical (adjective)= verifiable by observation or experience rather than theory or pure logic

An intelligent person spends time in the pursuit of art, science, and philosophy.
In contrast, an unintelligent person whiles away time in the indulgence of sleep, disputes or some bad habit. #Subhashitam #Hinduism It is futile to start digging the well after the house has caught fire!
We should be pro-active and have appropriate response ready in hand even before a problem arises. #Subhashitam #Hinduism

This is the Calicut University BA Islamic studies syllabus. Just look at the recommended reading list. Two books by Abul A'la Maududi- Jihad in Islam and Towards Understanding Islam. Who is Maudadi?

The world loves to attribute greatness to a long line of European mathematicians beginning with the Greeks/Romans without realizing that much of this 'history' was conjured up from thin air by the Church.
