Extractions: Some Major Contributions of India To World Civilization by Debanshu Bhattacharya (Authors Note: It is my feeling that while the contributions of ancient cultures such as China and Egypt are well publicized in the press, contributions of India, by comparison, are not that well touted. This is an attempt to bring a few of Indias contributions to our childrens attention. I must confess, however, that I will not be able to provide exact references for these facts; they are taken from the Internet.) Although India is now a poor and developing country, it was the richest country on earth until the beginning of the 17th century. Indias civilization is also one of the oldest in the world. It was centuries ahead in terms of progress compared to the rest of the world. While people were barbaric in Europe, India was building great monuments, discussing scientific theories and developing advanced philosophical thoughts. Here are but a very few of the great contributions made by India to world culture; to try to cover all the ideas will take too much space. The second most significant contribution of India is in the area of medicine. Sushruta is the father of surgery. About 2600 years ago, he and other doctors of his time conducted complicated surgeries. The use of anesthesia was well known in ancient India, while patients were tied up and had to suffer in Europe. These operations required extensive knowledge of the human anatomy and physiology. The use of sophisticated drugs to treat ailments was also widespread in ancient India. Charaka, the father of medicine, developed the Ayurveda School of Medicine, which is now finally coming to be recognized by modern medicine.

Tell me when this page is updated SOUTH ASIAN HISTORY Pages from the history of the Indian sub-continent: Science and Mathematics in India History of Mathematics in India In all early civilizations, the first expression of mathematical understanding appears in the form of counting systems. Numbers in very early societies were typically represented by groups of lines, though later different numbers came to be assigned specific numeral names and symbols (as in India) or were designated by alphabetic letters (such as in Rome). Although today, we take our decimal system for granted, not all ancient civilizations based their numbers on a ten-base system. In ancient Babylon, a sexagesimal (base 60) system was in use. The Decimal System in Harappa In India a decimal system was already in place during the Harappan period, as indicated by an analysis of Harappan weights and measures. Weights corresponding to ratios of 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, and 500 have been identified, as have scales with decimal divisions. A particularly notable characteristic of Harappan weights and measures is their remarkable accuracy. A bronze rod marked in units of 0.367 inches points to the degree of precision demanded in those times. Such scales were particularly important in ensuring proper implementation of town planning rules that required roads of fixed widths to run at right angles to each other, for drains to be constructed of precise measurements, and for homes to be constructed according to specified guidelines. The existence of a gradated system of accurately marked weights points to the development of trade and commerce in Harappan society.
Extractions: 'Vedic practices provided the inspiration for advances in astronomy and mathematics' (Excerpted from an article by B.V.Subbarayyappa in the book India 1000 to 2000, Editor : T.J.S.George, published in December 1999 by Express Publications (Madurai) Ltd, Express Estates, Anna Salai, Chennai - 600 002. The excerpt was also published in The New Indian Express on Sunday in the FYI column on April 8, 2001.) Jyothisha (astronomy) was one of the six auxiliaries of the Vedas and the earliest Indian astronomical text goes by the name of Vedanga Jyotisha . Year-long sacrifices commenced from the day following the winter solstice and Vedic knowledge of both winter and summer solstices was fairly accurate. The Vedanga Jyotisha had developed a concept of a cycle of 5 years (one Yuga) for luni-solar and other time adjustments with intercalation at regular intervals. Indian mathematics too owes its primary inspiration to Vedic practices. The Shulba sutras, part of another Vedic auxiliary called the Kalpa sutras, deal with the construction of several types of brick altars and in that context with certain geometrical problems including the Pythagorean theorem, squaring a circle, irrational numbers and the like. Yet another Vedic auxiliary, Metrics (chandah), postulated a triangular array for determining the type of combinations of 'n' syllables of long and short sounds for metrical chanting. This was mathematically developed by Halayudha who lived in Karnataka (10th Century) into a pyramidal expansion of numbers. Such an exercise appeared six centuries later in Europe, known as Pascal's triangle. Vedic mathematics and astronomy were pragmatic and integrated with Vedic religio-philosophical life.

Extractions: ANCIENT INDIA'S CONTRIBUTIONS TO INVENTION OF GEOMETRY AND TRIGONOMETRY The word 'Geometry' has emerged from the Indian word 'Gyaamiti' which means measuring the earth. The word 'Trigonometry' is similar to the word 'Trilonmiti' meaning measuring triangular form. Euclid is credited with the invention of Geometry, while the concept of Geometry in India emerged 6000 BCE from the practice of making Vedic Fire Altars in square, rectangular, and trapezoidal shapes. ZERO AND DECIMAL SYSTEM The American mathematician and historian of science, A. Seidenberg has established that the mathematics of both Old Babylonia (1900-1750 BCE) and the Egyptian Middle Kingdom (2100-1800 BCE) must have derived their mathematics from the ancient Indian Vedic Sulbasutras. BINARY NUMBERS IN INDIAN ANTIQUITY: B. Van Nooten (Dept. of South and SE Asian Studies, Univ. of California, Berkeley) writing on Indian mathematics said: "I have found good reason to believe that the rudiments of binary calculation were discovered in India well in advance of their discovery by the German philosopher Gottfried Leibniz in 1695." He further said: "I have tried to show that Pingala used binary notation to classify metrical verses as early as the second or third century A.D. He also knew how to convert that binary notation to a decimal notation and vice versa." Nooten also commented that "He (Pingala) may well have been the originator of the system." Weights found at Mohenjo-Daro, Harappa, and other sites show a remarkable accuracy and follow a binary system: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and up to 12,800 units.

Extractions: Acharya Bharadwaj (800 BCE) was the pioneer of aviation technology and has written Yantra Sarvasa which includes astonishing and outstanding discoveries. He at the time described three categories of flying machines that travel from one planet to another but also astonishingly from one universe to another. Space travel existed in the ancient Vedic times, something that science today has even barely broken the surface on. Acharya Kapil (3000 BCE) was the father of cosmology. His research on primal matter and creation makes today's science look like an introductory course. The big bang theory? How about when he answers questions on the creation of the universe. Hindus were far ahead of their times. The proof exists in our sacred books. Acharya Charak (600 BCE) was the father of Medicine. His renowned work Charak Samhita which is considered the encyclopedia of Ayurveda today goes in depth about his principals, diagnoses and cures that still retain their potency and truth even after a couple of millennia. His research led to the facts of the Human anatomy, embryology, pharmacology, blood circulation and diseases like diabetes , tuberculosis, heart disease, etc. Charak Samhita describes medicinal qualities and functions of 100,000 herbal plants that today's science is still doing research on. Acharya Kanad (600 BCE) was the founder of Atomic Theory. In his Vaisheshik Darshan treatise he wrote "Every object of creation is made of atoms which in turn connect with each other to form molecules". This statement ushered in the Atomic Theory for the first time ever in the world, nearly 2500 years before John Dalton.

Extractions: Introduction As all of us are aware, mathematics happens to be one of the most ancient sciences of the world. Some of the most famous intellectuals of the world, from Aristotle and Pythagoras (Greece), Euclid and Ptolemy (Egypt-Greece-) to Menelaus, Theon and Serenus (Egypt), Liu Hui andTsu Chung-Chih (China) to Aryabhata and Bhaskaracharya (India) have dabbled in one or more branches or mathematics to fortify their knowledge and hone their mental skills. Mathematics represents a high level of abstraction attained by the human mind. In India, mathematics has its roots in Vedic literature, which is nearly 4000 years old. Between 1000 B.C. and 1000 A.D. various treatises on mathematics were compiled in which, the concept of zero, the techniques of algebra and algorithm, square root and cube root were set forth. The rudiments of geometry, called Rekha-Ganita in ancient India, were formulated and applied in the drafting of Mandalas for architectural purposes. They were also displayed in the geometric patterns used in many temple motifs.

Extractions: Below are some amazing facts which unfortunately, most of the credits lie to other non-indians. Please read them and you will be surprised. India invented the Zero. Without the zero there would be no binary system and no computers. Counting would be clumsy and cumbersome. The earliest recorded example, an inscription of zero on Sankedha copper plate was found in Gujarat, India in 585 CE. In Brahman Phuta Siddhanta of brahmagupta (7th Century CE), the zero is lucidly explained and was rendered into Arabic books around 770 CE. From these it was carried to Europe in the 8th century. However the concept of zero is referred to as a Shunya in the early sanskrit text of the 4th century BCE and clearly explained in the Pingala's Chandh Sutra of the 2nd century.
Festival: Ugadi Also the great Indian Mathematician bhaskaracharya's calculations proclaimed theUgadi day from the sunrise on as the beginning of the new year, new month and http://www.virtualbangalore.com/EveFst/ugadi/
Extractions: Bangalore I t is believed that the creator of the Hindu pantheon Lord Brahma started creation on this day - Chaitra suddha padhyami or the Ugadi day. Also the great Indian Mathematician Bhaskaracharya's calculations proclaimed the Ugadi day from the sunrise on as the beginning of the new year, new month and new day. The onset of spring also marks a beginning of new life with plants (barren until now) acquiring new life, shoots and leaves. Spring is considered the first season of the year hence also heralding a new year and a new beginning. The vibrancy of life and verdent fields, meadows full of colorful blossoms signifies growth, prosperity and well-being. With the coming of Ugadi, the naturally perfumed jasmines (mallepulu) spread a sweet fragrance which is perhaps unmatched by any other in nature's own creation! While large garlands of jasmine are offered to Gods in homes and temples, jasmine flowers woven in clusters adorn the braids of women. Ugadi is thus a festival of many shades. It ushers in the new year, brings a rich bounce of flora and fills the hearts of people with joy and contentment! PREDICTIONS FOR THE YEAR Ugadi marks the beginning of a new Hindu lunar calendar with a change in the moon's orbit. It is a day when mantras are chanted and predictions made for the new year. Traditionally, the panchangasravanam or listening to the yearly calendar was done at the temples or at the Town square but with the onset of modern technology, one can get to hear the priest-scholar on television sets right in one's living room.
