We guard the poor shores, Deep seas no one explores. The research in India goes way back of BCE yet all we toil about now is the bigotry. One needs to reform to pay respect to the people who established the present era.

2. INTRODUCTION
• A large number of researchers have started to discover references to the
latest scientific discoveries in the Vedic passage.
• The most recent twist tale being of the flying machine of Maharishi
Bharadwaj.
It took a team of researchers from IISC to put the rumors at rest.
• On the contrast though attempts have been made to patent gayatri mantra,
haldi and there is not a single patent by us on aloe vera¹ though it ‘s use has
been mentioned through out the Indian history.
• An attempt has been made to make the Vedas and meaning ²accessible to all.
• Ignorance could be bliss but believing a distorted history can be adverse.

12. CONCLUSIONS
• Our is an ancient and rich nation.
• The study of ancient knowledge is legitimate but discovering it after those
discoveries are made is not beneficial.
• Every year several manuscripts are destroyed, sold or just rot away. It always
takes a foreigner to tell us our tales.
• If we care least for our heritage than we deserve the least of it. And a false
sense of pride is of no good at all.
