Re: Indian Astronomy

With due regards, I did not see anyone talking about relative
superiority of one system vis a vis the other. There is certainly
some give and take postulated for the two systems, especially in the
late Siddhantic Astronomy where we have Babylonian influence via the
Greeks in a more 'Foundational' manner.

Hence, your question is totally extraneous to this discussion.

Or is your question just a bait for some imaginary list member who
believes in 'Bharat uber alles'?

Sincerely,
