Must have book for Indologists and Indian Heritage buffs
This is a first of its kind book and Samskrita Bharati should be congratulated for taking the initiative for publishing this much needed preview of scientific advances in Vedic India. The book is the proverbial last nail in "Max Mullerian theory" coffin about Indian History and civilizatin. While no single book can do justice to the Scientific advances in Vedic India, "Pride of India" succeeds brilliantly by providing tantalaizing glimpses in areas as diverse as, Mathematics, Physics, Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Medicine, surgery etc. This is long due excellent quality first book in this area. A must reference and general review book.

really a wonderful book ( rajesh )
I have always known that vedas contained not only the highest philosophical thoughts,but also a lot of facts related to science. I read several articles over many years that talked about the science facts from the vedas, whether it be Mathematics,Metallurgy,etc. But when confronted with a question, "can you point me to the source", I have always been at a loss. Now thanks to Samskrita Bharati for bringing out this book, I am not only able to confidently point to the source but also can give an approximate timeframe when the source was compiled. And it is amazing to know that so much progress was made in Science so looooooong ago. Hopefully Samskrita Bharati will bring more of these kinds of publications to help us and educate us all.
