• Sushruta is the father of surgery. 2600 years ago he and health scientists of his time conducted complicated surgeries like cesareans, contracts, artificial legs, fractures, urinary stones and even plastic surgery and brain surgery. Usage of anesthesia was well known in ancient India. Over 125 surgical equipments were used. Deep knowledge of anatomy physiology, etiology, embryology, digestion, metabolism, genetics and immunity is also found in many texts.
• Grammar: Panini's Sanskrit grammar, produced in about 300 B.C.E. is the shortest and the fullest grammar in the world.
• This is what Manu said, perhaps 10,000 years before the birth of Christ: The first germ of life was developed by water and heat.
"Many of the advances in the sciences that we consider today to have been made in Europe were in fact made in India centuries ago." - Grant Duff, British Historian of India. Dr. Vincent Smith has remarked, "India suffers today, in the estimation of the world, more through the world's ignorance of the achievements of the heroes of Indian history than through the absence or insignificance of such achievement." It is needless to say that India is a great nation with distinguished achievements – the world has just got to realize it.
India throbs, shakes, scintillates with such a superfluity of human, animal, botanical, insect, and divine life that no camera or recording device, no canvas, pen, or cassette can fully capture the rich sketch of daily "ordinary" reality.
Jai Hind!
