Great Links

Here are some links that give interesting insights into ancient Indian wisdom -

1. Site of the project sponsored by the Government of India for bringing out the history of Indian Science and Technology in a multi-volume series of books, called the 'History of Indian Science and Technology', with some of the best Indian scientists and research scholars roped in. The project seems to be abandoned now, but the site still contains very valuable information. http://www.indianscience.org/
2. Indian National Science Academy's site. Specifically check out the Indian Journal of History of Science for some ongoing research into ancient texts. Very high quality journal. Requires a registration to view the journal.

4. Ancient Voice - Eternal Voice from the Past: Site created by Jijith Nadumuri contains lots of information on Ancient India and ancient texts. Not sure of quality of research, but a good starting point.

12. Design of an Ancient Spectrometer - Just like Vedic Mathematics, this spectrometer simplifies the measurements by an ingenious device - by using a conical prism instead of a triangular one. It works for ultraviolet, visible and infra-red regions of the spectrum. Did you think the ancient Indians knew only about the visible spectrum?!
