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.
