India: Brain or Brain Drain (Part 1)

"We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made!”
Albert Einstein

Remember 628 AD what a wonderful time it was, no mobile no calculator, rather no one was able to count 2 digit numbers, then came the Bhramagupta and invented the zero and now you have trouble with your science and mathematics.

What I just tried to say that it was an Indian who rewarded the world with zero so did the great Albert Einstein said. India owns the world with its mathematicians and doctors. However with computers ruling the world of calculation human brain is degrading.

Education

World first university belongs to India (you can be jealous but it is true) and is still running (Problem Harvard?).Indian education system does not allow using calculator in examinations and neither in class till high school, unlike any other nation.

Ø This is the nation that produces most number of doctors out of which 38% contribute to America’s total number of doctors. (Neat)
Ø Produces second most number of Engineers and the spices that you eat with you burger were invented in India.



Mathematics

Well it is a gigantic topic, with the country being favored and praised for over 90% contribution to modern mathematics. Some historical Indian theories are still being proved by current universities.

This Dude Pythagoras though has a theory in his name, but the Budhaya (some ancient geek of our Nation) discovered this concept along with the value of Pie like centuries before him (I doubt some DNAs)

India gave some of the most important astro physics things (I personally call these guys Space Geeks), For example when the world was busy finding the proper place to live in and understand the concept of using irrigation, This Indian guy Named Bhaskar calculated that a full rotation of earth around sun is 365.258756484 days in 5th century (Pretty accurate provided no computers that time, this dude’s gf must have been some martian), I Hope NASA is confused.

Today even the concepts are used for rocket propulsion and many other space related science and most of the engineers (Again Indians)

Medical

Ohh some Hollywood star has a plastic surgery being done, you may not know though but Indian did it in 600 BC, as a matter of fact Sushruta and Charak was the first medical book and Ayurveda is first school of medicine.


In modern days Indians are contributing to world in every possible direction, what more can we expect from the nation who taught world to live in colonies and architecture of a bridge. But the brain in India develops in India but does it stays in India? Stay Tuned
