A secular Hindu spent 30 minutes arguing with me over the following discoveries.
1. Calculus
Historical truth: It was developed in India, by the Kerala School of Mathematics, 200 years before Newton.
Secular: Come on man, it was Newton. Whole world knows that.

2. Algebra
Historical truth: It was invented in India. The Arabs learnt it from Hindus and passed it on to Europe. Arabs acknowledged they learnt it from Hindus and have credited it in their books.
Secular: What are you talking about, algebra is an Arab discovery.

3. Numerals
Historical truth: The numbers 0-9 were invented in India. Europe called them Arabic numerals because they learnt it from the Arabs. The Arabs call it Al-Hind because they learnt it from us Hindustanis.
Secular: Impossible, it was Arabs, boss.

4. Radio
Historical truth: It was invented in India, by Jagdish Chandra Bose, 2 years before Marconi, but Bose refused to patent it, saying science must not be patented. Even Italians admit Marconi came in second.
Secular: Don't be silly, you are brainwashed by RSS.

6. Such confidently ignorant people. All the evidence is there and yet they do not want to check or verify. India is the only country in the world where there are large numbers of people who are reluctant to acknowledge their ancestors were great.
