Abstract
Almost everything about India predates India, as the country has been around for several millennia; nevertheless, it got independence from the British colonizers in 1947! Science in India is several millennia old as well with Aryabhatta (the scientist) and Ayurveda (medicinal science) predating by many centuries, the modern science that engulfed the world in the second millennia. Any critical analysis of science in India should ask the following question: If India had invented zero and Indian mathematicians had discovered calculus before Newton, why didn’t India progress the way the Europe did after Newton’s contributions in science? One can go on blaming the Mughals and British for all the ills we face. For a commoner in me, no one can fool you for long without your permission.
