Description

This is a discussion forum on the history of Indian theoretical sciences. Recent work in this area indicates that in both mathematics and linguistics, ancient and medieval Indian scientists made certain seminal discoveries several centuries before their Western counterparts, to whom these findings are currently attributed. The proper placement of these discoveries within the context of the broader history of science would have considerable impact on modern science education, both in India and the West, due to the vastly different epistemological approaches underlying
these two schools of thought. The aim of the discussion forum is to assemble, both over the internet and locally in the Princeton/New York area, a panel of scholars and experts who will examine existing literature on this subject, critically compare Indian and European discoveries, and ultimately publish original commentary. Progress toward this goal will be measured by several milestones, including editing the online encylopedia Wikipedia, drafting an article contrasting Greek and Indian scientific philosophy, and assembling a suggested curriculum for Indian science education within universities.
