  2. World Man

    It's lot of invention of india but now you haven't knowledge all about things and also don't knowledge of world or scientist.
    Because some anti people have hidden from this world.

  3. Adithya

    We should get inspiration from Old inventions of India and think about what we can do now to contribute to the world. Most of our time is spent on social media and searching for money making ways. Have non-profitability and problem alone in mind before working on a solution to discover something useful.

  7. Dharma Yoga Ashram

    Sadly invaders have taken these things, denied the Hindu origins and made it their own;e.g. today's phony yoga for example. Of course weak Hindus share in these thefts.

  8. DEEPAK SIKRORIA

    Actually first wireless communication was first used during mahabharat Era when Sanjay used wireless communication to tell the king about whatever was happening on the battle field.
