India has a 3000 year history of hand forging metal to build tools and swords. The traditional methods of blacksmiths that were in use then are still in use today in some regions of India. In the 11th Century CE when european crusaders felt the effectiveness of the islamic swords in battle, war stories gave rise to the legend of damascus blade. It was said that one blow from it could slide a european helmet without damage to the blade or it could slice through a floating silk scarf just as easily. Although the damascus steel were being forged the capital of syria, the steel and the technology for these blades came from India. This steel was called Wootz steel and is believed to have been developed in 1st century BCE or earlier. Even Alexander the great sought these swords from India.

Europeans took many of these blades home determined to uncover the exact composition and technique involved in making them. In centuries after the crusades many tried to replicate the swords of damascus or Wootz steel, most achieved similar appearance but not the properties. Infact it was not until 1975 that the secret of Indian wootz steel was uncovered. The quest to reproduce wootz steel had many bi-products such as metallurgical microscopy in 1922 and invention of metal alloys like stainless steel by Michael Faraday in 1822. Today it is almost impossible to imagine life without Stainless Steel which is used in everything from Airplanes to Utensils.



Wootz steel is characterized by a unique pattern of bands

Indian flew first airplane 10 years before Wright brothers
esearcher throws light on Shivkar Talpade of Mumbai, who relied on ancient text 'Vaimanikprakarnm' to build model aircraft.

The Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, are acknowledged to have invented and built the world’s first successful airplane and made the first controlled, powered and sustained flight in 1903.

However, in 1895, an Indian, Shivkar Talpade, a drawing teacher from JJ School of Art in Mumbai, is said to have flown an aircraft, Marutsakha, on Girgaon Chowpatty.

Talpade is said to have relied on an ancient text to build his model aircraft. Now, throwing light on the text is a book that will be out later this year, by GaneshNerlekar-Desai, epigraphist and manuscriptologist at Shivaji University’s Manuscript Research Centre at Kolhapur.
There are two streams of thought regarding the existence of aircraft in ancient times. One believes that the ancients did build and fly aircraft, while the other believes it is too fantastic to be true.

However, what cannot be disputed is the existence of an ancient text on aerodynamics, titled ‘Vaimanikprakarnm’. “At the Bharat Itihas Sanshodhak Mandal in Pune, there exists an undated handwritten manuscript of Vaimanikprakarnm, a treatise on aerodynamics, said to be originally written by sage Bharadwaj. Lord Shiva apparently imparted knowledge of aerodynamics to his son Ganesha, who then transferred it to Bharadwaj,” said Nerlekar-Desai.

Other manuscripts of Vaimanikprakarnm exist at Oriental Institute at The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda; Gujarat Ayurved University in Jamnagar and one was in the possession of Talpade, who flew his aircraft at Girgaon Chowpatty.

The text contains information about ways to build aircraft and also how to protect them from the harsh sun and attacks from the ground. “Vaimanikprakarnm suggests the use of certain gemstones on an aircraft to protect it should it venture too close to the sun. It also talks about five different types of lightning and offers solutions to make the aircraft lightning-proof,” said Nerlekar-Desai. He added that the treatise also says that in order to insulate your aircraft from cannon shots from the ground, its body should be made of crystal.

FACTS ABOUT INDIA


a.. India never invaded any country in her last 10000 years of history.

The entire OP started with BS.

You guys like to associate yourselves with pre-Islamic (Aryan upper caste) dynasties like Maurya, etc. right? How come they expanded their empires without invading any country?

You might argue (rightly) that modern India has nothing to do with those dynasties/empires.

So which is it, pick one: either you Indians are the true heirs of those warrior caste dynasties, proving point (a) wrong and the OP as complete BS,
OR, you denounce any association with those empires and the OP still retains some credibility!
:D

That's bollocks. The Tamils invaded sri lanka numerous times and also had military expeditions in SEA.

India invented the Number System. Zero was invented by Aryabhatta.

The Arabs did that.

Ayurveda is the earliest school of medicine known to humans

The Egyptians did not study Ayurveda yet they were able to embalm mummies.
