Reading this book was like opening a forgotten treasure chest of ancient wisdom — and I was genuinely amazed by the depth of scientific understanding our Indian sages possessed long before modern science caught up.
This book is a heartfelt and enlightening journey through the incredible contributions of ancient Indian scholars to the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Mathematics (STEAM). What truly stood out to me was how seamlessly it explained profound knowledge through stories, quotes, and ancient texts. It’s not just a collection of facts, but a narrative that makes you feel connected to your roots.
One quote that stayed with me was: “We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discoveries could have been made.” — Albert Einstein
From Acharya Kanada's concept of atoms and molecules centuries before modern chemistry, to Aryabhata’s mind-blowing accuracy about planetary movements and the speed of light, each chapter left me in awe. And did you know the Big Bang theory was hinted at in the Rigveda as 'Bindu Sphota'? Fascinating, right?
The author has done an incredible job simplifying complex ancient ideas for young readers, making it a perfect guide for children as well as adults who want to rediscover the brilliance of Indian civilization. The worksheets at the end add a fun and interactive touch — perfect for making the learning process engaging.
What I loved most was how the book restores pride in our heritage. It’s more than just history or science — it’s a celebration of who we were and what we’re capable of. Every chapter made me wonder, “Why didn’t we learn this in school?”
If you're looking for a book that blends education, culture, and pride seamlessly — this is it. It’s informative, easy to read, and deeply inspiring.
Highly recommended for students, parents, educators, and anyone curious about the genius of ancient India.
