Indian nationalism

Apart from the relativity business (which is a dubious assertion that I have removed), all the rest of the material is well known and well-referenced. Just read the stuff provided in the ref section please.Netaji 01:55, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Taxila is definitely the world's oldest university (in the modern sense). This is mentioned by Megasthenes.

The 'Arabic Numerals' originated in India, largely due to the work of Aryabhatta. This is quite well-known.

Algebra as we know it today came from the Hisab-kitab book by al-Khwarzim. However, the basic methods of solving linear equations were done also by Aryabhatta (there are shlokas in my 10th grade maths textboook that demonstrate solving y=mx+c).Netaji 01:58, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

:Pakudha Katyayana's concept of "paramanu" (atom) is not as accurate or refined as the models of Bohr and Rutherford, but he laid out the principle that matter is composed of like constituents that are invisible to the naked eye and hypothesized the atom (in a simplified picture).Netaji 02:04, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I stand corrected on this. I remember now that Kanada was the first atomist. Thx for pointing that out.Netaji 08:16, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

See here for a list of refs for the ancient mathematicians. I have some with me (downloaded using my univ subscription). I'll get any ones that you want from the library if I can. Also, see hereNetaji 02:29, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Your comments at User_talk:Subhash_bose#CiteCop are completely out of order - inciting an escaltion of the bad blood "bring it on" and also suggesting that another user is insane "treatement".

Taxila

Altekar, Anant Sadashiv (1965). Education in Ancient India (Sixth ed.). Varanasi: Nand Kishore & Bros. p. 109. It may be observed at the outset that Taxila did not possess any colleges or university in the modern sense of the term. It was simply a centre of education. It had many famous teachers to whom hundreds of students flocked for higher education from all parts of northern India. But these teachers were not members of any institutions like professors in a modern college, nor were they teaching any courses prescribed by any central body like a modern university. Every teacher, assisted by his advanced students, formed an institution by himself. He admitted as many students as he liked. He taught what his students were anxious to learn. Students terminated their courses according to their individual convenience. There were no degree examinations, and therefore no degrees or diplomas.

Altekar, Anant Sadashiv (1965). Education in Ancient India (Sixth ed.). Varanasi: Nand Kishore & Bros. p. 116. Nālandā, about 55 miles south east of Patna, was a famous Buddhist place since early time as it was the place of the birth and death of Sāriputta, the right hand disciple of the Buddha. Asoka is said to have built a temple there. But its rise as a center of learning has to be placed about 450 A.D.; for, Fa Hien, who had visited this place in c. 410 A.D., does not refer to its educational importance.
