"India was the motherland of our race and Sanskrit the mother of Europe's languages.

India was the mother of our philosophy, of much of our mathematics, of self-government and democracy. In many ways, Mother India is

the mother of us all."

- Will Durant , American Historian 1885-1981

Indus Valley Civilization

When many cultures in the World were only nomadic forest dwellers over 5000 years ago, Indians established Harappan Culture in Indus Valley Civilization

8

The first University was established in Takshila in 700 BC. More than 10,500 students from all over the World studied more than 60 subjects. The University of Nalanda built in the 4th century BC was one of the Greatest achievements of ancient India in the field of education

Ayurveda is the earliest school of medicine known to humans

10

Ayurveda is the oldest school of medicine codified by Charaka 2,500 years ago. Sushruta, the father of surgery, conducted complicated procedures dealing with cataracts, artificial limbs, fractures, urinary stones, plastic surgery, caesarean section and brain surgery 2,600 years ago. Over 125 surgical instruments were in use. The use of anesthesia was also known in ancient India.

11

Astronomy is one area which has fascinated all mankind from the beginnings of history. In India the first references to astronomy are to be found in the Rig Veda (which is dated around 6000-9000 BCE). Vedic Aryans saw divinity in the Sun, Stars and Comets. Astronomy was then interwoven with astrology and since ancient times Indians have involved the planets (called Grahas) with the determination of human fortunes. Ancient Indian astronomers had recognized that stars are same as the sun, that the sun is center of the universe (solar system) and that the circumference of the earth is 5000 Yojanas. One Yojana being 7.2 kms., the ancient Indian estimates came close to the actual figure.

12

“Many of the advances in the sciences that we consider today to have been made in Europe were in fact made in

India centuries ago." - Grant Duff, British Historian of India

13

The art of navigation was born in the river Sindhu 5000 years ago. The very word

‘Navigation’ is derived from the Sanskrit word NAVGATIH

14

‘We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile

scientific discovery could have been made.’ - Albert Einstein

15

"In India I found a race of mortals living upon the Earth, but not adhering to it. Inhabiting cities, but not being fixed to them,

possessing everything but possessed by nothing". - Apollonius Tyanaeus, Greek Thinker and

Traveller 1st Century AD

16

India contributed to the number system by the number 0, innovated by Aryabhatta. Algebra, Trigonometry and Calculus

originated in India. The quadratic equation was solved by Sridharacharya in the 11 century. The Greeks and Romans

contented themselves with rather small numbers, while Hindus used units as big as 10 raised to the power 53 with specific names

as early as 6000-9000 BCE. during the Vedic period. The place value system, the decimal system was developed in India dating

back to at least 100 BC. The solar year was calculated as 365.25875684 days by Bhaskaracharya in the 5th century,

hundreds of years before the astronomer Smart. The value of pi was first calculated by Bodhayana, who also discovered the

Pythagorean Theorem in the 6th century, long before the European mathematicians.

17

‘Yoga’ is one of the most unique

contributions of India to the World.

Some Pioneers

19

ARYABHATT  

 Born in 476 CE in Kusumpur ( Bihar ), Aryabhatt's intellectual brilliance remapped the boundaries of mathematics and astronomy. In 499 CE, at the age of 23, he wrote a text on astronomy and an unparallel treatise on mathematics called "Aryabhatiyam." He formulated the process of calculating the motion of planets and the time of eclipses. Aryabhatt was the first to proclaim that the earth is round, it rotates on its axis, orbits the sun and is suspended in space - 1000 years before Copernicus published his heliocentric theory. He is also acknowledged for calculating p (Pi) to four decimal places: 3.1416 and the sine table in trigonometry. Centuries later, in 825 CE, the Arab mathematician, Mohammed Ibna Musa credited the value of Pi to the Indians, "This value has been given by the Hindus." And above all, his most spectacular contribution was the concept of zero without which modern computer technology would have been non-existent. Aryabhatt was a colossus in the field of mathematics.

Its translation in several languages of the world bear testimony to its eminence. In his treatise " Siddhant Shiromani " he writes on planetary positions, eclipses, cosmography, mathematical techniques and astronomical equipment. In the " Surya Siddhant " he makes a note on the force of gravity: "Objects fall on earth due to a force of attraction by the earth. Therefore, the earth, planets, constellations, moon, and sun are held in orbit due to this attraction." Bhaskaracharya was the first to discover gravity, 500 years before Sir Isaac Newton . He was the champion among mathematicians of ancient and medieval India . His works fired the imagination of Persian and European scholars, who through research on his works earned fame and popularity

Each period of science has led to some model of nature. For classical science it was the clock ; for nineteenth century science, the period of industrial revolution , it was an engine running down . What will be the symbol for us ? What we have In mind perhaps be expressed by a reference to sculpture , from Indian or pre-Columbian art to our time. In some of the most beautiful manifestations of sculpture, be it the dancing Shiva or in the miniature temples of Guerra, there appears very clearly the search for a junction between stillness and motion , time arrested and time passing . We believe that this confrontation will give our period its uniqueness.
