Guest guest Posted May 16, 2001 Report Share Posted May 16, 2001 Reference-TKS and Metal Technologies.This is important subject as India was famous for her high carbon steel of swords(jabab-i-hind).In the presence of invisible Chowkidars at the gates, I find it difficult to discuss openly that Faraday(electromagnetic induction) was on (secret) mission to find the composition of Indian steel in the American classroom. About 50 years after Faraday, when Jamashedji Tata went to Europe to get help in geological survey to start the steel mill in India, European scientists were laughing at him. Some people cannot stand the idea the the ancient Indians could think scientifically and rationally. The so called Greek heritage of "rational thinking" of 1600 years(400 BC to 1200 AD) did not produce number and decimal system. It had to come to Europe through Arab scientists. There are likes and dislikes in science. N.R. Joshi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
