1."A Apple fell on Issac Newton’s Head ( 1643-1727) and he discovered the theory of Gravity."

Apple must have fallen, but the concept of Gravity was discovered way before that.   Mathematician Brahmagupta(559-668 CE) wrote about it in his treatise “Brahma-sputa Siddanta”

2."Issac Newton’s three “laws of Motion”(1643-1727)  ,John Dalton (18th century) propounded the theory of Atom."

Acharya Kanada (600 BCE) wrote about both these isues it in his Book “Vaishesika Sutra”

3."A. Europe gave us the concept of binary numbers(1/0) ,the base for all software programme's.      

     B.The famous “Fibonacci” series.(1117 CE).

     C.The pascal series"

Mathematician Pingala(300 BCE) writes in detail about Binary number systems/fibonacci series /pascal series  etc in his book  ”ChandahaShastra”

4.",Galileo (1564-1642)  and Edmund Halley( born 1715) gave the theory of solar/lunar eclipse"

Aryabata( This one, you all must have heard, thankfully) -Born 476 CE, mathematically proved the timings of both solar and lunar eclipse.                

 Sage Atri in Rig Veda-5.40-5 to 9, tells us,why it happens.

5."Modern science says distance between sun and earth is 149,579,870.9 Km's"

Hanuman Chalisa-written by Tulsidas (16th Century) in one of the verses calculates it to be 153,600,000 Km's. 

6."Pythagoras theorem about the area of a triangle etc.-500 BCE"

 In fact the Pythagoras theorem has been explained earlier in the book “Sulba sutras” too. 

The value of “ Phi” was also in that Book. The first version of it came out around 2000 BCE and the latest around 500 BCE. There are several authors to this. Starting from Baudayana,apastamba,katyayana to manaya.

7."Hitler used “Swastika” , a ancient Hindu symbol, as his Party emblem."

There is no evidence to it. He actually called it “hooked cross” or “Haken Kreuz” in German. “Hooked cross” was a ancient symbol along with the Cross in early Christianity. The twist came, when they translated his book “Mein Kampf” into English. The translator was a English Christian Priest,James Murphy. To divert the bad press from Hitler’s work, he translated it to “Swastika”, instead of “Hooked cross”. Infact the “Hooked cross” is very different in the way it is presented compared to “swasthika”.

8."King Ashoka became a Buddhist after he saw the sufferings done by his army in kalinga war."

King Ashoka became a Buddhist three years after he became the king.Kalinga was attacked Five years later    .IE eight years after he became the king.   After the war, he again killed 18,000 Non-Buddhists. Read sanjeev sanyal’s recent book which gives all the primary sources too.

9."Tale of Jodha-Akbar"

There is no Historical evidence to this. No scripts during Akbar's/Jahangir’s time spoke of a lady named Jodha. 

The First time, this story popped up was, when a Englishman James Todd wrote some fantasy stories around 1820. Jodha-Akbar was one of them.

10."Isaac newton discovered Sine series around 1676. James Gregory discovered  formula for phi in 1671"

Madhava from the region of Kerala lived between 1340-1425, wrote about the same sine series, formula for phi ,much much before that.

11."Galileo discovered Solar system (1564-1642)"

Surya siddantha has the same details,written somewhere before 475 CE. Infact  Surya siddantha has details about the planetary eclipse motion, distance between earth and sun. Speed of light. This also had several authors with scientists like Aryabhata  till Venkatesh Ketkar contributing to it. A must read book for those interested .

12."Planet Pluto was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930"

Venkatesh Bapuji Ketkar-the great astronomer of  the siddantha lineage predicted the same , with exact calculations in 1911 itself.

13."Aryan Invasion theory: Aryans invaded India and settled in northern India and the original Indians came south and became Dravidian."

There is no proof of any archaeological nor genetic for that.There is a continuous genetic lineage proof of more than 25,000 years  that, the same people lived in India. Though Migration happenned, but not invasion. Migration happenned both ways too.Check out works of Prof Vesmani and others.. She has been awarded in the US for her research on this. The word ‘Aryan’ is misinterpreted. It was “Arya” in the Vedas meaning a Noble person. In 1850-Max Muller couldn't get the meaning right,and our post independence history writers continued it.

14."Mughals ruled India for 200 years.

      English ruled India for 150 years. No one ruled India as much as they had. "

Few examples: Ahom dynasty of Assam ruled continously for 600 years. Mughals got defeated by the Great Borphukan.  Mughals never dared to go near the side of Assam ever.

Cholas:1000 years, Mauryans:550 years,Chalukyas:600 years,Pandyas: 800 years,Guptas:400 years,Pallavas: 600 years. 

Infact the Cholas were arguably the single longest running Dynasty in the world. Their  empire consisted of southern/eastern India, burma,malaysia,Indonesia,philiphines and Maldives too.

15."The English took over from the Mughals to rule India."

That is not true. After Aurangazeb, the Mughals were just in name. It was the Marathas after shivaji, who ruled from Tanjore to Attock for nearly 50 years.

16."Europe came out with detailed stages of formation during Pregnancy probably during early 19th century."

Garbha Upanishad talks about the same with day wise/monthwise embryo formation. The dating of this minor upanishad written by sage pippalada is easily before 600 BCE
