An Indian NCRT textbook declares that India had to wait 1,000 years for civilisation to return after Magadha’s contact with the Greeks — Dr. Raj Vedam systematically destroys this lie. Speaking in Bengaluru, he defines Eurocentrism formally and dismantles it field by field using archaeoastronomy, excavation data, and textual chronology.

Key evidence: war chariots at Sonali dated to 2200 BCE predate Aryan invasion theories of chariot transmission; Vedanga Jyotisha is astronomically datable to 1400 BCE, making the linguistically-derived 200 BCE Sutra period impossible; Harappan artefacts confirm Vedic cultural continuity rather than replacement. He also shows that India’s response to possessing superior knowledge — Sushruta Samhita, Aryabhatta — is always the same Eurocentric dismissal: “you must have copied it from the Greeks.” This is a comprehensive civilisational rebuttal built on hard evidence.
