  • In Europe it is widely taught that modern science owes its origins to Greeks and the Judeo-Christian civilization. Correspondingly, in Pakistan school children are taught that there would be no science without Islam. Where lies the truth? Pervez Hoodbhoy discusses the matter.

    Sir,
    If you are to be taken seriously (and as a scientist you probably know)you need to provide citations.
    How did you date Indian Civilization as 3000 BC? How do you define civilization or science?
    How about the other Civilizations? What are your sources? AFAIK no Indian says that the first man emerged out of India...
    A lot of playing to the galleries instead of following a scientific process is it?

      He said that as a joke. But the fact is you people do say that everything came from Vedic books. So boast a lot about that, just like Muslims do about the so the golden age. Fact is, science is a collective approach of all the civilizations over the period of time.
      You just can’t digest it that people aren’t praising Indians

    Being in Pakistan, Prof Hoodbhoy is not completely free to comment without bias, but somewhere at the end of discussion he admits that the knowledge acquired during golden period of islam is in fact originated from Greek. Abbassid period encouraged collection of knowledge from conquered lands, including Indus, and helped translate them for further discussion. But this process was only until Ghazalee stopped them.

    4:28 In that very first slide of the presentation, they've mentioned Egyptian, Babylonian, Chinese, Greek ( All these are loosely ethnicities, not religions) and then Hindu, Muslim (which are not ethnicity, but religions, although Hinduism in itself is a more of a culture than religion or mazhab).
    A Muslim can be Arab, Persian, Turk, etc. And scientific accomplishment of an Arab can be owned by Arab only, not Muslims. (Ideally speaking in modern terms, a scientist as an individual is sole owner of his discovery, intellectual contribution; No need to share his/her personal accomplishment with race, ethnicity, religious community he/she belongs to)
    This stupidity of intermixing religion with ethnicity can be found only in Al Bakistan- Duffer's own country

      And this is exactly the problem with Indians these days. Ever since modi came into power you people have become too much arrogant and intolerant. You’ll not care about the topic of the discussion but will nit pick anything which you see is against india or Hindus. Thanks to modi who is turning you into an intolerant society.
      And remember civilizations have risen and fallen. So does with countries. Stop this non sense of mocking Pakistan every now and then with this taunt of bhikharistan. Be careful, anything can happen in future. See how Japanese economy has stagnated and their young population is shrinking.
      Not now, but 100 years later anything can happen to india. Then Pakistanis will laugh at you. Let me know how it feels then if you’re alive

      Why didn't he just stick to science? Although there too he would be found wanting.
      This Hoodbhoy reminds me of a kahawat in India - Andho mein kana Raja!!
      In the illiterate, madarassa chaap country of Pakistan, this Pervez qualifies and is revered as a scientist. In India such Perverted Pervez are in lakhs and Crores...

      First of all, only people from Brahmin and similar elitist groups, varnas within Hinduism have been recorded to have led to the discoveries and usefulness, practical applications of those discoveries was also confined. So massive apartheid did exist within Hindus. So it's completely valid to doubt if these discoveries were really Hindu discoveries and contribution to sciences.

      If you're referring to Dr Hoodbhoy's comments on Modi's absurd claims on scientific discoveries of Hindus, then let me tell you, Modi is not scientist.
      And Modi is not representation of entire India either.

    I appreciate your work in Pakistan and I would like to say that Indian Philosophy and Hinduism are totally two different things, if anyone follows karma or pray to the infinite number of gods they have, they are actually following the Hinduism or the Brahminical Hinduism which based on the myths which was written in the present day India, Pakistan, Bangladesh etc. whereas the Indian philosophy is different and mainly comprises of 6 schools of Thoughts which contradicted each other at every aspect like some thoughts say that earth is flat some say earth is round and put forward arguments on their favor but the main problem is after the arguments put forward it doesn't come at a conclusion and left at the mercy of the interpreter to interpret which at the end will make everything more confused to those interpreters of that century. I think basic science started somewhere in Africa as it is highly likely that with formation of agro based societies they first started the scientific thought also and some of our basic scientific postulates which we take for granted today highly likely that they might have started this which was transferred orally and by the way the stock market and loan on the shares of stocks started around 1600s by the dutch east India company

      Religion is sanatan dharm you idiot. And brahmin is not a religion. Theory goes like this, world is thought of as a human which emerged from brahma then his mouth is brahmin , hand is kshatriya, stomach is vaishya and feet is sudras. Based on this just kike different body part perfect different function , different caste will perform different function in society. If you will study anthropology or sociology you will learn that division of labour has always happened in society. Read marx for division of labour. Like French society had three estate, nobels , clergy and commoners. Feudal system has serfs. Like that only. Ofcourse with time exploration happened by one class over another which lead to lot of social problems hence that division of labour was removed from society and that's how reformation happened in any society. Social division of labour is very essential part of any society for its functioning and that was the function of caste at that time.

    Brahmin is a type of universal rider on, they adopt and ride on every civilization because... Brahmins knows what that there is no God but Brahmin is god.... They have created godes, god, characteristic feature of Brahmin they thieft your religion your civilization and whatsever that may be beneficial for them.... Recently Madras high court give a judgement that Brahmins worshipped an idol of Buddhism they have thief this idol and made it as Hindu godes but High court give the judgement that this is Buddhism and it geven to the passasion of Buddhist monks ......however before Muslim in India is nothing only conflicts between Brahmins and Buddhism
