   Rancour towards our knowledge traditions

   The German philosopher Hegel observed that India existed   
   for millennia as a wonderland in the European imagination   
   due to its treasures, both intellectual and natural, which   
   have lured people over the ages. Yet mainstream Indian   
   historiography, especially of the Left, has  adopted a   
   policy of 'outright  rancor and omission' towards our   
   knowledge traditions such as mathematics, astronomy,   
   medicine, chemistry, metallurgy, agriculture, forest   
   management, town planning and architecture, water   
   management, shipping, textile manufacturing and dyeing, and   
   the manifold crafts. These are part of India's millennia-   
   old heritage of knowledge systems. An important aspect   
   regarding such studies of our knowledge traditions is that   
   they are not just confined to few textual sources as   
   alleged by Left historians. There is abundant evidence from   
   archaeological remains.
