Indian Inventions



               Friends, from the day we started to learn,we believed whatever written in text book is correct. Foreigners claimed every inventions to be done by them only. But actually most of famous discoveries and inventions we learn in the name of foreigners are done by indians in ancient days. How sad is this na?? Being an indian, its our duty,pride,responsibility atleast to know about indian inventions and if possible spread it to as many as you can...Pls friends,don't ignore this..."This article is not about listing all Indian inventions,but to list those which are believed to be done by some other people"...

              I tell you an incident. Some days before, i met a sir to show an indian invention. Sir told in class that cryptography is invented by Julius Caeser. But i shown a page of my diary to sir,which gives a cryptographic(secret) love letter written by Sudarshana (i show later). Sir did not say a single word about it, which hurted me a lot. If a lecturer(cryptography is his research area) itself not going to appreciate,how to convince others?? See support for India by Indians.So i decided to give a list of Indian inventions falsely claimed by Foreigners as their inventions....!!!

  • Very famous Pythagoras Theorem was actually invented by Brahmagupta in 6th century. In the book 'Brahmasputasiddhanta', Pythagoras triplets were described. Also a proof of the Pythagoras theorem by calculating the same area in two different ways and then canceling out terms to get a² + b² = c² was given by Bhaskara 2(shown in figure)...
Bramhagupta
Proof by pingala








  • The Fibonacci numbers were actually described by Indian mathematician Pingala around 300 BC.But Europians claim that Fibonacci numbers were named after Leonardo of Pisa, known as Fibonacci.Pingala also described about Binary patterns...Pingala is younger brother of Patanjali(inventor of yoga)...He also invented Bionomial coefficients.. 



Fibonacci sequence



  • Chess was originated in India during the Gupta dynasty (280 - 550 CE). The words for "chess" in Old Persian and Arabic are Chatrang and Shatranj respectively which are derived from Chaturanga in Sanskrit which literally means an Army of four divisions...


  • Now i provide a list of interesting inventions to surprise you guys....!!!!
  1. Brij Kothari discovered the idea of "Subtitles for Movies"...
  2. Ludo game- Caves of Ajanta show evidance for this...
  3. Cataract surgery was known to the Indian physician Sushruta (600 BC)... 
  4. Plastic surgery was invented by Sushruta, but globally it is in credit of James Syme,a Scottish invenor...
  5. Operation for removal of a stone is also given in the Sushruta Samhita(600 BC)...




  • In 1894, the Jagadish Chandra Bose demonstrated publicly the use of radio waves in Calcutta!!! , but he was not interested in patenting his work.He also ignited gun powder and rang a bell at a distance using electromagnetic waves, showing independently that communication signals can be sent without using wires .But all of us still believe Radio invention is by Markoni...!!!                 












  • Now i come to part about cryptography,which i promised. According to books, Julius Caeser invented first cipher "Caesar Cipher".  But below there is a secret love letter written in Puranas(like steganography) where girl keeps name of boyitself as secret!!!...I am proud to say i collected it...
      "ಕಾಶಿಯ ಸುಭಜರಾಜನ ಮಗಳಾದ ಶಶಿಕಲಾ ಎಂಬಾಕೆಯು ಸುದರ್ಶನ ಎಂಬುವವನಿಗೆ ಬರೆದ ಪ್ರೇಮಪತ್ರ"

            ಪದ್ಯ:- "ವರತುಷಾರುನಗೆಂದ್ರ ಮೊಮ್ಮನ,ಪರಮ ಕೊಪದಿ ಕ್ಷಯವ ಪಡೆದವನ 
ಧರಿಸಿಹನ ಕ್ಷಿತಿಯೊಳಗೆ ಬೆಂದವನ ಪಿತನ ಕರದಿ ಧರಿಸಿಹ ದಿವ್ಯಾಯುಧದ ಪೆಸರೊಳು 
ನೀನಿಹೆ. ಮಾರುತ ಸುತನನು ಪಿಡಿದ ವ್ಯಾಳಗೆ ನೀತಿಯೊರೆದಿಹನ ಪಿತನ ತಾತನ ಕುಲ
ಸಂಭವನೆ,ನಿನ್ನ ನಂಬಿಹೆನು,ಬಂದು ಕಾಪಾಡೆನ್ನ"...

           ಅರ್ಥ:- ಹಿಮಪರ್ವತಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠನಾದ ಪರ್ವತರಾಜನ ಮೊಮ್ಮಗ ಗಣಪತಿ,
ಗಣಪತಿಯಿಂದ ಶಾಪವನ್ನು ಪಡೆದವನು ಚಂದ್ರ, ಚಂದ್ರನನ್ನು ಧರಿಸಿದವನು

  • Now i provide some mathematical inventions ruling in world by foreigners name...
  1. Aryabhata was first mathematician to give value of pie true upto 4 decimal places...He also give formula to find out area of triangle...
  2. Brahmagupta derived formula to find area of quadrilateral and hence he discovered Stirling's formula before 1000 years ago which is in credit of Newton presently!... He also explained about square roots and cube roots...
  3. Famous mathematician Mahaveeraacharya discovered formula to find sum of terms in arithmetic progression(A.P) and formula to find ncr(number of combinations)...
  4. Credit of developing a good numeral system and invention of zero goes to Indian mathematicians...Famous Hindu Arabic numeral system developed in 600AD is shown in Fig 2... 
  5. Bhaskara developed "8*8 magic square"(sum is same across any row,column,diagonal) and Ramanujan invented method to create magic square of one's birthday(Fig 3 and 4)...
  6. Madhava of Sangamagrama and his successors at the Kerala school of astronomy and mathematics used geometric methods to derive large sum approximations for sine, cosine, and tangent. They found a number of special cases of series later derived by Brook Taylor series(Fig 5). They also found the second-order Taylor approximations for these functions...!!
  7. The Chakravala method, a cyclic algorithm to solve indeterminate quadratic equations was derived by Bhaskara 2 (c. 1114–1185 CE)...
  8. About a thousand years before Pell's time, Indian scholar Brahmagupta (598–668 CE) was able to find integral solutions to Vargaprakriti in his Brahmasputa Siddanta treatise...

  • The first iron-cased and metal-cylinder rockets were developed by Tippu sultan and his father Hyder Ali, in the 1780s. The Mysore rockets of this period were much more advanced than what the British had seen, chiefly because of the use of iron tubes for holding the propellant; this enabled higher thrust and longer range for the missile (up to 2 km range). After Tippu's eventual defeat in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War and the capture of the Mysore iron rockets, they were influential in British rocket development, inspiring the Congreve rocket, and were soon put into use in the Napolioanic wars...!!!
                  
                       Friends, above mentioned are just few examples...There are plenty more talents from India, whose work and names are hidden or overwritten by Foreign people due to lack of communication, poor family background,corruption...Being educated and being an Indian its proud and duty to know truth behind these Foreign dominations...So i am very proud to present you friends and feel very sad for what happened with Indian people...If  you love your country, please tell your friends to read and follow my blog...JAI HIND.......MERA BHARAT MAHAAN....
