What if ancient India was the world’s greatest scientific civilization — and the evidence has been hiding in plain sight? Dr. Raj Vedam, engineer-scientist and Sangam Talks scholar, delivers a methodically sourced tour of suppressed Indian achievements across architecture, mathematics, astronomy, medicine, and marine technology.
From Dholavira’s Vastu Shastra city planning at 2800 BC, to Konarak’s palm-leaf engineering blueprints with quality inspectors, to 600 BC Karnataka coins depicting compound pulleys attributed to Archimedes — Dr. Vedam confronts each textbook claim with peer-reviewed evidence. He traces ancient Indian mathematics from Rig Vedic numerals through Boudhayana’s geometry, Brahmagupta’s equations, Madhava’s calculus, to Ramanujan — a connected tradition spanning millennia. He documents pre-Jenner inoculation networks, Sushruta’s rhinoplasty, 9000-year-old dentistry, and ancient optical science that may have preceded Galileo’s telescope.
Crucially, he demonstrates how this knowledge traveled out of India — through Arab translations, colonial appropriation, and selective erasure — while showing that modern digital communications and IC design trace their mathematical roots directly back to Vedic India.
About The Speaker :
Dr. Raj Vedam, MSEE, Ph.D., works at the confluence of applied mathematics, engineering, algorithms, and computer science. Using tools of Archeo-Genetics, archeo- astronomy, and archaeology, and evidence of knowledge transfers from ancient India, the speaker has put forward a strong thesis with verifiable facts, on the antiquity of the Indian Civilisation, and the many discoveries made me the ancients. Dr. Raj Vedam is a co-founder of the think-tank, Indian History Awareness, and Research, and resides in Houston, Texas. Currently he is working as a faculty at Hindu University of America, Arsha Seva Kendram, and Rishihood University.
