Science: In the ancient time, India was much developed in the field of science and technology. For example, Iron Pillar is situated in Delhi from last 1600 years. It is not affected by rust even today.

Iron Pillar at Qutub Minar, Delhi, is an evidence of ancient India in field of high knowledge in metallurgy. It is surprising to see 24 feet long and 180 tonnes weight pillar of Iron hundred of years tolerating the sun and rain without rust. In Belur (Karnataka), 40 feet high and 20 thousand kg weighted stone pillar is an example of high knowledge in the field of gravitational force and physics. This pillar is standing on a levelled land without support and buried under the earth. In this way, we can say that India had enough knowledge in the field of physics, chemistry and botany : in ancient time.

Medical Science: Ayurveda is the oldest medical.method of the world. Dhanvantri is called the father of Ayurveda.

In medicine and chemical science, India was foremost in the world. In India purification of metals, formation of metal ashes, preparation of medicines through Jadi-Booti (plants, roots and stems), and preparation of many natural colours etc. have been progressed from ancient time. Nagarjuna had knowledge of many chemical reactions. In the field of medical sciences Sushruta is considered as the first surgeon (Shalya chikitsak).
