We always praise the western world for the discovery like atoms, gravitation, plastic surgery etc. But do you guys know where really this things were started? Yes, it was Ancient India. Western People says they had teach Indians how to be hygienic, how to civilize, how to study … etc. Come-on when you guys didn’t have any idea of home, city, sanitation we used to use personal bathrooms, bedrooms, watch out the history of Harappa civilization. Today western world is dominant over India, only because we have adapted their Industrial education system as our way of getting education and success. This must be changed. Now that’s a different topic to discuss, let’s keep it for some other day.
Back in Ancient India, when some of our Indian sages were discovering mantras – their power, Ayurvedic healing, etc. a few of the great curious brains were busy ascertaining inventions that in future could help mankind.
Let’s know some of the huge Discoveries done by Indians.
1. Theory of Atom
Centuries before John Dalton was born, Maharishi Kanad, who is considered as the First Nuclear Scientist of India. He is the one who introduced the theory of atom. His theories were most probably back to 2nd century. In the book 'Darshan-Grantha', one can find a well description of Kanad concept of Atoms. His opinion was that elements are mainly formed because of electrons arranged in a specific and synchronized manner.
2. Plastic surgery
America and Brazil may be quarrelling over who is the world’s plastic surgery capital, but do you know plastic surgery was first formulated by Sushruta. What’s widely believed to be the offshoot of modern science and technology is actually an Indian invention at the time where there was nothing called machinery technology. Sushruta’s famous book ‘Sushruta Samhita’ which is consider as bone one of the oldest discourse, vividly deals with several methods of performing plastic surgery.
3. The zero
The biggest discovery of all time is ‘The zero’. A number that is everything and nothing, almost all invention and discoveries we know exist due to it. It is widely known how the great Aryabhatta taught the world how to count. Little needs to be written about the ‘zero’, what to tell about it I cannot figure it out, just that this mathematical digit and concept also has a direct link to the ancient philosophy of ‘nothingness’.
