India did it all Eons Ago Cars, Stem Cell research & All that

How gullible we are. Do we have a single piece of substantial evidence to support any of those scientific claims? It is like reading H.G Wells novels, and believing that time machine existed in the 1800s.

You have perhaps made the first and only genuine hole in the argument. The previous naysayers were so ridiculous.

Yeh 'raths' kiyaa cheeez haii ?

Nahhh...I don't think @levina @Ayush @Indischer or @Ravi Nair would be able to fit onto a chariot with their pot bellies & besides I don't want some Animal Right's Organization from the Antiquities breathing down on my neck screaming about 'Animal Abuse' after the above Chubby Indian's manage to cripple the horses due to their layers of flab !

Ok. I guess we are going in circles.
Let me break it down,
a) We are one of the oldest and mostly intact (relative to the world) civilization in the world
b) We have been one of the richest regions in the world (hence the invasions and plunder)
c) We have had a swelled-to-the-brim population for most part
d) We have had excellent river systems which were key to flourishing of a civilization
yet,
a) We never explored nor debated the existential politico-legal framework like the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans did
b) We never had great philosophers who published journals on human thought
c) We did not have a just social system, no serious attempt was never made (no record) to alter it
d) We did not have any historians of repute who logged history for us, Romans, Greeks and Persians always had historians and writers even in the armies
e) We never developed a successful irrigation system, till the mughals came. We did not even improve upon borrowed agricultural tools like a sickle or a bull's harness

The fact of the matter is, our true contribution to the world is spiritual in terms of schools of thoughts for discussing theology and god. An indicator of this is the number of successful religions that came out of India.
There were Deans and academicians in ancient Greece who taught subject that both you and I have read in school.
Nothing of that sort has been recorded in India.
We had Nalanda and Taxila where theology and Vedas were taught.
Yet people go gung-ho about the Achievements of ancient India.
IF There ever was a time when we had achieved something great, it would have shown. When we can dig-up diamonds and dino bones, a great culture is not that hard to find.
As far as Mahabharata is concerned, I like it as a good story and dont buy any of the gizmo-crazy stuff that is talked about in it.
I hope we are on the same page as far as crazy stuff written in our scriptures being deemed crazy is concerned.



Maybe they were, maybe they weren't. Science grows progressively mostly, unless some one comes up with a steam engine, every once in a while.
There is no evidence and being a scientific man myself, I dont belive any of it. I am sure neither would anybody else.

You are no different from the people who overfantasize ancient Indian culture.

The sole reason that we were invaded a million times and never could project any power was because we failed on a million fronts. I do not think there can be a debate on that.

You say you are a man of science. I can excuse your ignorance in history. Though common sense would have taught you otherwise. It's like because Germans were defeated in WW2 means that they could 'never project any power'. Hilarious actually.

Anyway - coming to history. You perhaps may have heard about the resistance to Alexander. Or heard about ibn Qasim. Are you aware that he succeeded on his 18th attempt? His 17 attempts were failures. The mighty Persian empire fell like a house of cards in comparison. All of Europe was trembling in fear of the Moors - stretching from Tours to Vienna. The Vijaynagara Empire on the other hand continued to exist till the 16th century. And just after another century the Marathas ascended!

Also please remember that insulting a Pakistani here is equivalent to insulting an Indian because we belong largely to a similar line. Panini for example would be Pakistani now. So would Taxila, Kambojas, etc.

Bottomline: It's relative actually. You may find a hundred odd reasons to hate your ancestors, I will have a thousand to be proud of them (without being mutually exclusive).

Pot calling kettle black

But @levina, and at least @Ravi Nair would probably kill the poor animal with their weight.

Now let me go back to the puranas and check if there is a mention of a jetpack for these poor souls.

The 1000 year old car would probably fetch 100s of millions dollar on eBay !!!

I usually use your Kashmiri brethren as the horses for my chariot.

They make excellent beasts of burden.

I have a script for it. See -

i. Indians went and colonized Mars.
ii. They built nuclear weapons.
iii. Blasted each other.
iv. Before nuclear winter set in a few survivors escaped back to Earth and wrote the story.
v. They named it Mahabharat.



There - now call oye natta and you have a thread.

Good question. But why bother. This thread allowed me to overcome the Monday morning blues. I won't complain.
