Indian Civilization is one of the oldest civilizations in the world. Since the beginning, we had a strong tradition of science and technology as India was a land of sages and seers, the land of scholars and scientists. Many theories and techniques discovered by the ancient Indians have created and strengthened the fundamentals of modern science and technology. While some of these groundbreaking contributions have been acknowledged, some are still unknown to most.
