Enough of ancient Indian science.
"Indians always knew everything. They invented the Pythogoras theorem. There was a plane in the Ramayana."
Not only is this unscientific and embarrassing social behaviour. It also moves our focus away from Indian academics as it is today.
Are we scientific? (yes, some ancient Indians were, but are you, and you and you?)
Is there a passion for science among kids?
Are they into non corporate research? science for the sake of science?
Are they even curious?
