Indian Knowledge Systems and how they have been suppressed and appropriated by the west. Knowledge systems were destroyed by Islamic invasions and they were distorted and even appropriated by the British during their Raj and even more so later. Please follow the thread
India’s mathematical and engineering heritage. Not only did indians develop great Numerical and analytical tools but also put them to practice. Our temples are the biggest non textual proof. There’s also much textual evidence provided by @RajVedam1
Astronomy is essential for agriculture for which one needs a good calendar. It is also essential for overseas travel for trade. European Jesuits in 15th and 16th C came to India to look for Brahmins who could assist them in their calendar reforms (17th C)

Many Europeans have written articles on Indian math but could not acknowledge because of the inquisition. Later Europeans who were colonisers suppressed it deliberately and today use it as soft power to tell the east to copy the west.
Indians always had a taste for the arts. Our temples and texts, travellers accounts are proof enough. @RajVedam1 talks about India’s Musical and medical heritage.
Starting from Sushrut to surgeons in Pune in 19th C India has had a long medical tradition
This destruction and appropriation of our knowledge systems and traditions has created poverty not only in terms of per capita money but deprived India of social and national wealth. Regenerating these knowledge systems and traditions today using technology should be our priority
Here @RajVedam1 talks of how the Islamic invasions and British conquests have destroyed our knowledge systems and rendered our society wealth-less and hence poor
Also, our blind adoption of western products for example: the policy of English only higher education is destroying children’s minds, making it unnecessarily difficult to learn while data shows English gives no advantage. For this read @sankrant book -अंग्रेज़ी माध्यम का भ्रमजाल
English only higher education is not only killing Indian languages, crippling students minds and abilities but also creating regional conflicts, langauge chauvinists and destroying the hope of resurrecting our knowledge systems from our shastras,siddhantas and Vedas

The book अंग्रेज़ी माध्यम का भ्रमजाल of it’s English version is also available in english by the name “The English medium myth” available at @GarudaPrakashan !
@DrRPNishank @HRDMinistry @narendramodi I urge you to dedicate resources to regenerating our knowledge systems, change our curriculum across all subjects in academia and provide education in Indian languages.
