That is SOO Sweet haha :)

But I totally agree with you, Sunnybond, you really need to calm down. You need to remember, agree with people or not, you need to respect them. Especially since most forum members are older than you. Although I do acknowledge thta you've directed your posts to me ina respectful manner, you need to do the same with others to :)

Just tell me few things only done by indians (not migrated)

  1. India is the world's largest, oldest, continuous civilization.
  2. India never invaded any country in her last 10000 years of history.
  3. India is the world's largest democracy.
  4. Varanasi, also known as Benares, was called "the ancient city" when Lord Buddha visited it in 500 B.C.E, and is the oldest, continuously inhabited city in the world today.
  5. India invented the Number System. Zero was invented by Aryabhatta.
  6. The World's first university was established in Takshashila in 700BC. More than 10,500 students from all over the world studied more than 60 subjects. The University of Nalanda built in the 4th century BC was one of the greatest achievements of ancient India in the field of education.
  7. Sanskrit is the mother of all the European languages. Sanskrit is the most suitable language for computer software - a report in Forbes magazine, July 1987.
  8. Ayurveda is the earliest school of medicine known to humans. Charaka, the father of medicine consolidated Ayurveda 2500 years ago. Today Ayurveda is fast regaining its rightful place in our civilization.
  9. Although modern images of India often show poverty and lack of development, India was the richest country on earth until the time of British invasion in the early 17th Century. Christopher Columbus was attracted by India's wealth.
  10. The art of Navigation was bornin the river Sindhu 6000 years ago. The very word Navigation is derived from the Sanskrit word NAVGATIH. The word navy is also derived from Sanskrit 'Nou'.
  11. Bhaskaracharya calculated the time taken by the earth to orbit the sun hundreds of years before the astronomer Smart. Time taken by earth to orbit the sun: (5th century) 365.258756484 days.
  12. The value of pi was first calculated by Budhayana, and he explained the concept of what is known as the Pythagorean Theorem. He discovered this in the 6th century long before the European mathematicians.
  13. Algebra, trigonometry and calculus came from India. Quadratic equations were by Sridharacharya in the 11th century. The largest numbers the Greeks and the Romans used were 106 whereas Hindus used numbers as big as 10**53(10 to the power of 53) with specific names as early as 5000 BCE during the Vedic period. Even today, the largest used number is Tera 10**12(10 to the power of 12).
  14. IEEE has proved what has been a century old suspicion in the world scientific community that the pioneer of wireless communication was Prof. Jagdish Bose and not Marconi.
  15. The earliest reservoir and dam for irrigation was built in Saurashtra.

[*]India is the world's largest, oldest, continuous civilization.

So is Chinese, egyption, mesopotamian, Egyption nad chinese are strongest. egyption civilization built Pyramids. The language of Harappa civilization is not deciphered as they are so less. And this civilization is not in India but mostly in pakistan. This civilazion was destroyed by aryan invaders.

It was not only ancient civilization but one of many.

[*]India never invaded any country in her last 10000 years of history.

Yes , there was no invasion in nBangladesh and sri lanka.

Indian Govt promoted terrorism in Bangladesh even Mukti Vahini was armed and trained by Indian Govt, same that is done by pakistan in Kashmir. LTTE was created and armed by India.

India never got independence was slaved long ago. Ranjit singh attacked Afganistan and Tiget.

All Indian Rulers were always fughting with each other.

India has only come into existence from47 as capability to attack .

Even read wikipedia India is responsible for 62 war with china.

[*]India is the world's largest democracy.

The democracy, all corrupt and criminals wins. Voted are won by liquor. There is no democracy but democracy of hate. BJP wins for hate against Muslims( Ram Mandir) . No rioters are ever punished.People responsible for riots as jagdish Tytler are reelected. The Democracy no educated people vote, max vote are of illetrated. You cannot give thi spoint if you live in India. Resevation 50 % vote bank.

[*]Varanasi, also known as Benares, was called "the ancient city" when Lord Buddha visited it in 500 B.C.E, and is the oldest, continuously inhabited city in the world today.

Buddhism was destroyed by Hindu i think shankracharya.

There are many ancient cities in world, It gives you any proud.

I feel proud of varanasi, never heard.

Proud comes from actions not by things that are present in every country.

[*]India invented the Number System. Zero was invented by Aryabhatta.

I give credit, Aryabhatta was great , so was veramahira and Charaka. full credit to them. I am proud of them.

[*]The World's first university was established in Takshashila in 700BC. More than 10,500 students from all over the world studied more than 60 subjects. The University of Nalanda built in the 4th century BC was one of the greatest achievements of ancient India in the field of education.

Despite the Nalanda university belongs to buddhists. The Buddhism was destroyed in India by force,So its work is useless.

[*]Sanskrit is the mother of all the European languages. Sanskrit is the most suitable language for computer software - a report in Forbes magazine, July 1987.

If a article comes it doesnt mean so, other languages have eveolved from thousands of years.

All Muslims in India were earlies Hindus(ancesstors), yet they are not brothers.

Sanskrit will never be used in computers, You have no Idea what computer lang is.

May be if Indian invented OS it can be used. It can be most suited?

Not _ There will never be any change of Computer lang from Eng to sanskrit.

[*]Ayurveda is the earliest school of medicine known to humans. Charaka, the father of medicine consolidated Ayurveda 2500 years ago. Today Ayurveda is fast regaining its rightful place in our civilization.

I like Chitra, he was great, first valid point.

[*]Although modern images of India often show poverty and lack of development, India was the richest country on earth until the time of British invasion in the early 17th Century. Christopher Columbus was attracted by India's wealth.

So where is proud in it. We were richest 500 years ago, do you feel proud by this?

[*]The art of Navigation was bornin the river Sindhu 6000 years ago. The very word Navigation is derived from the Sanskrit word NAVGATIH. The word navy is also derived from Sanskrit 'Nou'.

Can you give any Link to this? wikipedia likely.

By third party.

[*]Bhaskaracharya calculated the time taken by the earth to orbit the sun hundreds of years before the astronomer Smart. Time taken by earth to orbit the sun: (5th century) 365.258756484 days.

Chinese developed this are about 4000 Bc and were accurately solar and lunar eclipse most advanced.

[*]The value of pi was first calculated by Budhayana, and he explained the concept of what is known as the Pythagorean Theorem. He discovered this in the 6th century long before the European mathematicians.

can you give link, It is stated Pythgorus theorem was first used by Egyptions in construction of Pyramids. Its is in 3000BC. So again too late.

[*]Algebra, trigonometry and calculus came from India. Quadratic equations were by Sridharacharya in the 11th century. The largest numbers the Greeks and the Romans used were 106 whereas Hindus used numbers as big as 10**53(10 to the power of 53) with specific names as early as 5000 BCE during the Vedic period. Even today, the largest used number is Tera 10**12(10 to the power of 12).

Calculas was built by Newton.

[*]IEEE has proved what has been a century old suspicion in the world scientific community that the pioneer of wireless communication was Prof. Jagdish Bose and not Marconi.

Sorry not aware of this, but i think it is valid :)

[*]The earliest reservoir and dam for irrigation was built in Saurashtra.

Cannot prove it was first dam, it can be one of earliest.

[*]According to Saka King Rudradaman I of 150 CE a beautiful lake called Sudarshana was constructed on the hills of Raivataka during Chandragupta Maurya's time.

[*]Chess (Shataranja or AshtaPada) was invented in India.

Good,but same, cards chinese, cricket england.

But it can be accepted.

[*]Sushruta is the father of surgery. 2600 years ago he and health scientists of his time conducted complicated surgeries like cesareans, cataract, artificial limbs, fractures, urinary stones and even plastic surgery and brain surgery. Usage of anesthesia was well known in ancient India. Over 125 surgical equipment were used. Deep knowledge of anatomy, physiology, etiology, embryology, digestion, metabolism, genetics and immunity is also found in many texts.

Most points are very very old. Do you continue to feel proud of long lost glory.

[*]When many cultures were only nomadic forest dwellers over 5000 years ago, Indians established Harappan culture in Sindhu Valley (Indus Valley Civilization).

Already stated.

[*]The four religions born in India, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism, are followed by 25% of the world's population.

So Islam christians are most proud, then islamic, then hindus and sikhs are not proud as we have very less number compared to others.

[*]The place value system, the decimal system was developed in India in 100 BC.

[*]India is one of the few countries in the World, which gained independence without violence.

Just leave it, India got independence solely of Hitler.

You can clearly see all asian countreis gain independence during this time.

So pay tribute to Hitler to weaken UK so that we got independence.

Hitler is the only cause of Indian Independence.

[*]India has the second largest pool of Scientists and Engineers in the World.

Where, in It doing west job, almost all great scientists are eithermigrated to west or working for them.

[*]India is the largest English speaking nation in the world.

So speaking English made you proud.

Then China is largest chinese speaking nation of world

[*]India is the only country other than US and Japan, to have built a super computer indigenously.

Third one, not own tech:(

It is much easy to imitate then research.

Are you bored yet?

The thing is you are talking of Lost Glory. How long you will feel proud of it.

See today there is no invention. Scientists migrate, corruption ,reservation, oppression, terrorism,hatred, politics, decline of police, decline of judiciary.

Can you give me name of any single project or tech only developed or currently under development only in India and nowhere else.

I noticed you dont like muslim rulers so not mention there achievements, any negative thought on them.

You should be proud that we were slaves for thousands of years, first by Muslim rulers and then by British. Proud of slavery.

You sshould give some achievements in this era too.

I give taj mahal :)

Eshani, I don't have time to write a 20 page essay on the recent accomplishments of India, so let's just leave it at that.

And, dude, I copy and pasted all that stuff from google. Do you think I have the time to research all that and type it out? :p I don't have anything against anyone. ;)

    • Definitely the Guru Sahibs would be a heavier Scriptures to handle. Dasam Granth is more towards Bir Rass, Guru Gobind Singh showed his Greatness (of course, they would never say this) by separating his own Baania.  And the BIGGEST test of all?? Do we try and read Dasam Granth, Understand n show respect like we do to SGGS? Or... Do we QUESTION it? Guru Gobind Singh Ji is testing us. 
    • My wife will be going for an MRI scan next week but her Kara won’t physically come off.  Is there any way the mri scan can be done with the Kara still on?  The alternative is we will have to try to saw it off before the scan.  
    • was researching this and came back to this thread. Also found an older thread:    
    • Net pay after taxes. If you don't agree, think about this: If you were a trader and started off in China with silk that cost 100 rupees and came to India, and you had to pay total 800 rupees taxes at every small kingdom along the way, and then sold your goods for 1000 rupees, you'd have 100 rupees left, right? If your daswandh is on the gross, that's 100 rupees, meaning you have nothing left. Obviously, you owe only 10% of 100, not 10% of 1000. No, it's 10% before bills and other expenses. These expenses are not your expenses to earn money. They are consumption. If you are a business owner, you take out all expenses, including rent, shop electricity, cost of goods sold, advertising, and government taxes. Whatever is left is your profit and you owe 10% of that.  If you are an employee, you are also entitled to deduct the cost of earning money. That would be government taxes. Everything else is consumption.    
    • No, bro, it's simply not true that no one talks about Simran. Where did you hear that? Swingdon? The entire Sikh world talks about doing Simran, whether it's Maskeen ji, Giani Pinderpal Singh, Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi, or Sants. So what are you talking about? Agreed. Agreed. Well, if every bani were exactly the same, then why would Guru ji even write anything after writing Japji Sahib? We should all enjoy all the banis. No, Gurbani tells you to do Simran, but it's not just "the manual". Gurbani itself also has cleansing powers. I'm not saying not to do Simran. Do it. But Gurbani is not merely "the manual". Reading and singing Gurbani is spiritually helpful: ਪ੍ਰਭ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਭਾਖਿਆ ॥  ਗਾਵਹੁ ਸੁਣਹੁ ਪੜਹੁ ਨਿਤ ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੈ ਤੂ ਰਾਖਿਆ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The Lord's Bani and the words are the best utterances. Ever sing hear and recite them, O brother and the Perfect Guru shall save thee. Pause. p611 Here Guru ji shows the importance of both Bani and Naam: ਆਇਓ ਸੁਨਨ ਪੜਨ ਕਉ ਬਾਣੀ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿ ਲਗਹਿ ਅਨ ਲਾਲਚਿ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਪਰਾਣੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The mortal has come to hear and utter Bani. Forgetting the Name thou attached thyself to other desires. Vain is thy life, O mortal. Pause. p1219 Are there any house manuals that say to read and sing the house manual?
