In summary, India has a rich and advanced past, with evidence of advanced space science, ocean exploration, and even visits from aliens. There is also evidence of advanced medical techniques, such as open-heart and open-brain surgeries, being performed centuries ago. However, much of this knowledge has been lost over time and it is believed that if it had been preserved, India could have been a superpower by now. The speaker believes that India still has the potential to become a superpower in the next few decades if its culture, literature, and unity are preserved. They also mention that many mathematical concepts, including calculus, were developed in India long before they were scientifically derived elsewhere.

This post is inspired by my physics teahcer who today gave us a lecture on India's bright past. (Not joking, really)

I have been listening the tales that ancient kings of india, has weapons similar to the nuclear weapons, they had spaceships and all those gadgets which we will be able to see only after 200 years.

Theres evidence however, that Indians were the first to develop space science, and were the first to venture into the oceans. It were the Indians, who first discovered the America (and not really columbus) (it has been proved by the ancient structures found in america).

Theres also evidence of superior space science that was prevalent in India centuries back, one scriptures also talks about a mission to moon, in which, its written that all the crew members were stranded in mid space and the mission failed.

The scriptures also talk about aliens coming down from sky, and the ships which are described there, are shaped as capsules and saucers, and shiny spheres..

Theres also unchallengeable evidence of open-heart & open-brain surgeries being done to people in the period of Chandragupta Maurya.

here are some links :

My question on this is ::
Can it be true that the science we have today is far inferior to that centuries back?

It is just a matter of TIME

All that has been, is lost i believe so. If it would have been preserved
We would have been on Top of the World rather than America + on the peaceful side as far as possible

I foresee India as a Superpower within 3-4 decades But we need to preserve our Culture Veda, Literature , And UNITY.

We need to extract as much from the Vedas as far as possible

let me tell u :

Calculus & other Mathematics were far before developed.
Even the distance between Earth & Sun was known long before it is derived scientifically


It is just TIME,

It is certainly intriguing to hear about the advanced knowledge and technology that is said to have existed in ancient India. While we cannot say for certain whether all of these claims are true, there is evidence to suggest that ancient Indians were indeed ahead of their time in certain areas of knowledge and technology.

For example, the ancient Indian text known as the Vedas contains descriptions of advanced flying machines, referred to as "vimanas," which could travel through air, water, and space. These descriptions have been compared to modern-day aircraft and spacecraft, leading some to believe that ancient Indians had knowledge of advanced aeronautics.

Additionally, the ancient Indian civilization is credited with many important discoveries and inventions, such as the concept of zero, the decimal system, and the game of chess. They also had a deep understanding of mathematics, astronomy, and medicine, as evidenced by their precise calendars and advanced surgical procedures.

However, it is important to note that while ancient Indians may have had knowledge of certain advanced technologies, it is unlikely that they had the same level of scientific understanding and advancements that we have today. Our modern science has been built upon centuries of research, experimentation, and technological developments, which would have been impossible to achieve without the foundation laid by our ancestors.

It is also worth considering the possibility that some of these claims about ancient Indian technology may be exaggerated or misinterpreted. Without concrete evidence, it is difficult to say for sure what level of technology existed in ancient India.

In conclusion, while it is fascinating to learn about the ancient wisdom of India, it is important to approach these claims with a critical and open mind. We should continue to explore and study the achievements of our ancestors, but also acknowledge the advancements and progress that we have made in modern times.
