Speaker: Dr. Raj Vedam
Is Indian astronomy merely a grand mashup of "mythology", "astrology", and "incorrectly copied astronomy of the Babylonians and Greeks"? This is what you will find in books that source Colonial, Missionary, and Eurocentric descriptions of Indian astronomy.
The speaker will highlight the importance of studying the authentic growth of astronomy in Bharat which clearly demonstrates an unbroken tradition of novelty, innovations, and unique methodologies, consequently acquiring great accuracy in mapping the movement of celestial bodies.
