This book is an excellent collection of references from various ancient Indian literature. The author has done a very good job of portraying the glorious past India had in the field of Science. The book contains facts and citings which many of the Indians know already but the large part of the modern Indian society and world at large fail to acknowledge. At once Hitler was scavenging for ancient Indian literature for scientific references and harness for military advances. A must read for any Indian.
As the book says it is a bundle of knowledge about what our ancestors were able to do things which are simpler and more effective. I felt immensely proud and ashamed at the same due to the fact that we as Indians are looking for validation of west even after 70 years of independence. The other shame part is that we left our roots as indians and started everything from the things what british has left off. I'd highly recommend every student to go through this book before going through western literature for inspiration and motivation to accept the culture and traditions we follow instead of questioning them all along. Instead of pushing complex subjects india should keep these in the curriculum to engrave kids to show that they are the heirs of rich knowledge and most of the western theorems and education is mainly copied from indian subcontinent.
Very very spiritual and scientific, perhaps they have achieved the goal of perfection. No one stands before them. They are Rishi of modern India. They have collected every sphere of Indian culture from beginning to end.
An eye opening book. There are so may things that I was not knowing because of my ignorance. We are so much influenced by western ideas that we are unaware of the availability of rich knowledge in Bharat. So glad I chose to read this, the author has done a great work in writing this book and putting it out in the world. The information is logically curated and compiled. Must read.
