The supposed contributions of Indians to innovation is vastly over-inflated. India, in its thousands of years of existing as a civilization (technically older than that but from pre-Aryan cultures) they only have a few discoveries under their belt: decimals (which was perfected by the Persians into the system we use today), cashmere, indigo dye, and iron smithing. The claims of them inventing algebra, astronomy, geometry, written language, the foundations of modern medicine, paper currency, chariots, flush toilets (lol, lmao even), the concept of squares and rectangles, can be very easily debunked and is a pathetic attempt of appropriating the accomplishments of surrounding cultures.This is like those comments that you see on the tier of "modern innovation is almost completely driven by Jews and Indians".
They also don’t have the excuse of their land lacking resources. Despite being mountainous, India has one of the most diverse and fertile landscapes in the world…or at least, had, until they destroyed much of it with waste and primitive methods of culling vegetation (burning it en masse).
Neighboring China also has a mountainous and diverse landscape, and yet by the late medieval period they’d invented gunpowder, paper, paper currency, block printing, the compass, forges, silk, bombs, cast iron, crossbows, fireworks, gas lighting, hand guns, India ink (India is only in the name because the materials used to craft it came from the country, which pajeets didn’t bother to utilize and the Chinese crafted something useful with it instead), kites, pasta, matches, mechanical theaters, porcelain, wheelbarrows, rowing oars, tea, and toilet paper. All of these are inventions we use in the modern day, whilst much of what India came up with is only utilized in the Indian sub-continent due to primitive Pajeet beliefs, like Ayurvedic medicine, or were replaced by inventions of superior craft by the Chinese and the Islamic empire, which don’t get me started on the latter’s accomplishments in science and mathematics because it is extremely thorough and it’s incredible what they were able to do.
If you repeatedly have to lie about what your country created, perhaps your country ain’t so great after all.
