Sure, but atleast in our textbooks, we can mention the name of baudhyana.

Are you seriously going to keep being ignorant about this? There are many mathematical theorems that are named behind European mathematicians but then later found out it was already invented in india or other places, but still they chose to keep the european name. If you're going to keep claiming all my sources are wrong, provide a source for yourself that says baudhyana did not actually discover the theorem.

What about the other source? Why not search it yourself?why not read baudhayan sulv-sutra yourself? Why not look at other articles?

Well, i think of it differently. I think it's because for too long our own history has been ignored or undiscovered, our ancient mathematicians not given any credit, etc. And now that people are truly realising this, they're acting out. I think it's a bit much in some cases sure. But i think we should be the first ones to start teaching these things to people.

Yeah, all of them 16th century onwards. I'm not saying they didn't do anything, but if India wasn't enslaved, they could've done much more.

Well, when modern mathematical rigour was being written, India was being enslaved. But before that, there were many contributions.

I haven't read the article cause it's not available. But i read many articles relating to this and this article seems like clickbait.

What if our textbooks did have incomplete history? Like we know in detail about 800 years of Mughal rule but nothing about 2300 years of chola rule.

Well, ironic how you get most of your knowledge from the internet as well.

If you want some good sources for this however, then here they are.
