00:00Hello everyone and a warm welcome. Today Deepak and I are taking the journey back in time to

00:13explore something truly incredible, ancient Indian innovations. You know sometimes we forget

00:18how much the world owes to our ancestors. Deepak what's one invention that you think truly changed

00:23everything globally? That's an easy one Soniaji. Without a doubt, the invention of zero and the

00:29decimal system. It's probably the most significant contribution from ancient India to the world.

00:34Imagine trying to do complex math or develop computers without zero, it's impossible.

00:38Absolutely. The concept of zero which came from India transformed mathematics and science

00:43everywhere. Before that calculations were so cumbersome. Yes, ancient Indian mathematicians

00:49like Arya Bhatta and Brahma Gupta developed these concepts Matlab. They gave us the foundation for

00:54modern mathematics, astronomy and even technology. The positional numeral system we use to

00:59with place values also originated here. It was a true revolution. Moving from numbers to medicine.

01:05Did you know that ancient India also had incredibly advanced surgical practices?

01:09Yes Deepak. I am thinking of Sushruta, often called the father of surgery. His text,

01:14The Sushruta Samhita, describes over 300 surgical procedures and more than 120 surgical instruments

01:20thousands of years ago. It included plastic surgery, cataract removal and even rhinoplasty,

01:26nose reconstruction. That's astounding isn't it? Long before modern medicine, these complex surgeries

01:32were being performed in India. It shows the incredible depth of knowledge our ancestors had

01:38in anatomy and surgical techniques. It's something to be truly proud of. Beyond science and medicine,

01:44India also gave the world profound insights into mind-body wellness. You're talking about yoga and

01:49Ayurveda. Aren't you Sonia? These ancient Indian practices are now globally recognized for their

01:55health benefits. Precisely. Yoga is not just exercise. It's a holistic system for physical,

02:00mental and spiritual well-being. And Ayurveda with its focus on natural remedies and personalized

02:05health is gaining immense popularity worldwide. People like Mrs. Singh from Delhi or even Mr. Khan in London

02:12are now embracing these ancient practices for a healthier life. It's wonderful how these ancient

02:17Indian wisdom traditions are now benefiting millions across the globe. And let's not forget advancements

02:23in materials. Ancient Indians were masters of metallurgy. Yes. The iron pillar of Delhi is a

02:29perfect example. It stood for over 1,600 years without rusting, which is incredible given its exposure to

02:35weather. Modern scientists are still trying to fully understand its corrosion-resistant composition.

02:41Exactly. This shows advanced knowledge of metallurgy that was centuries ahead of its time.

02:47Ancient India wasn't just about philosophy. It was a hub of cutting-edge technology.

02:51These are just a few examples of the incredible genius that flourished in ancient India.

02:56It's a legacy we should all be aware of and celebrate.

02:59Absolutely, Soniaji. Our heritage is rich with scientific and intellectual achievements that truly
