About the Book:
"The Scientific Edge: The Indian Scientist from Vedic Times to the Present" by Jayant V. Narlikar takes the reader on a fascinating journey through India’s scientific history, highlighting the nation's achievements while distinguishing fact from fiction. The book traces the story of Indian science from its early origins in ancient Vedic times through its triumphs and failures across the millennia.
Narlikar skillfully separates the historical realities of India’s scientific advances from the myths that have been built around them, shedding light on the actual breakthroughs and contributions that have shaped the country’s scientific legacy. The author also delves into the more fanciful discoveries that have been passed off as scientific feats.
Through this lively narrative, the book offers readers a clearer understanding of India's contribution to the global scientific community, exploring the glories of Indian scientific thought and questioning the veracity of some so-called discoveries.
