  “We owe a lot to the ancient Indians, teaching us how to count. Without which most modern scientific discoveries would have been impossible.” – Albert Einstein Ancient India was a land of sages and seers as well as a land of scholars and scientists. Research has shown that from making the best steel in the world to teaching the world to count, India was actively contributing to the field of science and technology centuries long before modern laboratories were set up. Many theories and techniques discovered by the ancient Indians have created and strengthened the fundamentals of modern science and technology. While some of these groundbreaking contributions have been acknowledged, some are still unknown to most. It should come as no surprise that the first recorded use of the number zero,  recently discovered  to be made as early as the 3rd or 4th century, happened in India. Mathematics on the Indian subcontinent has a rich history...

Ancient India was one of the earliest civilizations to develop metallurgy. The earliest known use of metals in India dates back to the Indus Valley Civilization (2500-1500 BCE). Ancient Indians developed  The technique of smelting iron ore to produce wrought iron and steel. This technique was used to make tools and weapons, and was later adopted by other civilizations. The technique of alloying metals, which allowed them to create stronger and more durable tools and weapons. The first to develop the technique of tempering, which is the process of heating and cooling metal to improve its strength and durability. The technique of casting, which is the process of pouring molten metal into a mold to create a desired shape. This technique is still used today in the manufacturing of many products. The technique of forging, which is the process of heating and hammering metal to shape it into a desired shape. This technique is still used today in the manufacturing of many products. The tec...

The Indian contributions to astronomy are vast and varied. Ancient Indian astronomers developed a number of sophisticated techniques for observing and recording the movements of celestial bodies. They developed a system of astronomy that was used to predict eclipses, the positions of stars and planets, and the times of religious festivals. The most famous of these ancient astronomers was Aryabhata, who lived in the 5th century CE. He developed a model of the solar system that was based on the heliocentric model of the Greek astronomer, Ptolemy. He also developed a number of mathematical techniques for calculating the positions of the planets and stars. In the 11th century, the astronomer Bhaskara II developed a number of mathematical techniques for calculating the positions of the planets and stars. He also developed a number of astronomical instruments, such as the astrolabe and the quadrant. In the 16th century, the astronomer Jai Singh II developed a number of mathematical technique...
