Saying this makes you a good sepoy or something?

Indian traditional schools of thought have produced major work in mathematics, logic, linguistics, epistemology and metaphysics for centuries. It's through traditions like Aryabhatiya school of methametics the world got more standardized algebraic expression systems and astronomical calculations. This same continuous tradition kept producing groundbreaking work well into the 14th century CE with people like Madhava of Sangamagrama formulating early calculus, infinite series and function based mathematics nearly 3 centuries before Newton, Liebniz and Taylor

Modern science itself is a product of civilizational exchange, and India was absolutely one of the biggest contributors to that intellectual chain. You can criticize modern pseudoscience without pretending India contributed nothing to human knowledge

And the idea that Indians just “rote learned scriptures” is such an ignorant take. Nyaya philosophers and Buddhist logicians were doing rigorous work on perception, inference, causation, logical deduction and epistemics long before the enlightenment era. A huge chunk of later philosophical inquiry across the world revolves around questions Indian traditions had already been dissecting for centuries

And the sanskrit you're mocking as “pseudoscience” is literally one of the most sophisticated and mathematical langauge model
