  1. India science is very famous on pseudo science based on Hindu fairy tales, one example you can read is Feb15 2019 "Science" paper titled "In India, Hindu pride boosts pseudoscience". its summary said"In recent years, "experts" have said ancient Indians had airplanes, spacecraft, the internet, and nuclear weapons—long before Western science came on the scene. Such claims and other forms of pseudoscience rooted in Hindu nationalism have been on the rise since Prime Minister Narendra Modi rose to power in 2014. Some researchers say they're a threat to science and education that stifles critical thinking and could hamper India's development. They blame the rapid rise at least in part on Vijnana Bharati, the science wing of Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh, a massive conservative movement that aims to turn India into a Hindu nation."

  2. 2 most importance things in modern civilization were not present in ancient Indian culture: 1st: Scientific way of thinking, ie. seek truth from facts, instead seek truth from religion, or fairy tale or dreaming. 2nd: concept of logic and reasoning, based on facts.

  3.  @kaceobrwa7039  those so called "logic" such as "Indian logic" or "Buddhist logic" in definition is actually "knowledge", the main difference with Greek logic is, they are not based on fact or evidence, but based on so spiritual knowledge, such as what Buddha said or any fairy tale said. the real Logic is a science that deals with the principles and criteria of validity of inference and demonstration : the science of the formal principles of reasoning the act or process of reaching a conclusion about something from known facts or evidence. you have no idea what real logic is . you are the proof.

  5. the difference is Einstein can use math to prove it, and later proved by all kinds of observations, that is science, Neither Buddha or Dalai Lama could do it, that is only religion.

  6. India's GDP was 23% of the world before British, at the independence, dropped to 3% of the world, with the rich heritage, India successfully kept it at 3% for 75 years, really good
