Absolutely true! Amazing how the narratives are created saying PM Modi is sold to American interests sometimes, Chinese interests sometimes, falling at the feet of Iranian President sometimes. They don’t care about consistency or truth. Just throw all kinds of nonsense and see what sticks.
🙏🇮🇳 I’m an Australian 🦘 maths historian and I’m tired of watching the West take the applause for ideas India already had.
Baudhāyana before Pythagoras.
Āryabhaṭa before Galileo.
Brahmagupta before the West even accepted zero as a number.
Madhava before Newton.
Pingala before Fibonacci.
Ramanujan etc.
Yet still the textbooks bow to Europe first.
India’s gurus and rishis were not a footnote. Their ideas were copied, thinned out, renamed, and then sold back to Indian children as “Western maths.”
So I’m asking Indians directly:
If you could attend a talk by any 🇮🇳 Indian mathematician, living or historical, who I’ve mentioned on my X, who would you choose and why?
Reply with the name.
Tag a student, a teacher, or a parent who still thinks maths began in Greece.
If this history was hidden from you in school, this post is for you.
RT so the next generation hears the real names first.
Jai Hind.

@RajeswariAiyer People who brought this should be held responsible just like airlines is held responsible for bringing in someone without valid papers.
@RupokAcharjee Nothing because Hindus have no shame or unity. They don’t consider these while voting. It is not enough they grab all the properties and still need tax payer money for the Waqf headquarters.
@aravind@NetramDefence Similarly there are some good ones at the regional level bringing awareness to people on the geopolitics that is important to India. One such person is Major Madhan Kumar in Chennai.
