apparently many modern inventions were known about,
some 5,000 years ago, modern
inventions like aeronautics, batteries, as well as knowledge of gravity existed
in India during the Vedic Age, Human Resource Development Ministry (HRD) decided to
introduce into the country’s engineering curriculum a controversial book that
makes all kinds of claims, from the fact that the Wright brothers
didn’t really invent the airplane, to assertions that ancient Indian
‘scientists’ in the Vedic Age (1500 – 500 BCE) knew about gravity long before
Isaac Newton, entitled Bharatiya Vidya Saar, the controversial book is set to be introduced as part of an
optional credit course in engineering colleges and universities affiliated
with the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). For some
reason, the optional course, called Indian Knowledge Systems, will focus on
Indian philosophical, linguistic and artistic traditions, as well as
yoga and Indian perspective of modern scientific worldview, well I always thought the Wright brothers were not the first in the air, and this proves it!
