About the talk:
To understand the antiquity of Indian Civilization it is extremely important to understand the
narrative imposed on Historiography - the Colonial, Euro-centric, Missionaries, Socialist Academia bias, Marxist effect. In this talk, the speaker highlights several fascinating facts about ancient Indian astronomy, bringing to fore the deliberate distortions injected by Western agencies.
Over many thousands of years, the brilliant celestial nightly displays over the unpolluted dark skies of ancient India led to astronomy becoming an integral part of the rhythm of life, paralleling the cosmic cycles, as ancient Indians sought to make sense of the skies, leading to building up of an enormous corpus of astronomy knowledge.

About the Speaker:
Raj Vedam holds a doctorate degree in Electrical Engineering with many years of multi-disciplinary experience, and has developed a strong research interest in the history of sciences, mathematics and technology. His research shows unacknowledged but significant contributions of ancient Indians to sciences and math, impacting several civilizations over different periods of time. While Western texts on the subject enforce a parochial narrative sourcing all sciences and math from ancient Greece or Rome or Egypt, Raj Vedam presents contrary facts and evidence to show their indebtedness to the Indian civilization. He has presented his findings in over 200 public talks, several teacher training workshops, several research publications, and offers two courses on the same at Hindu University of America.
