But it is to credit to remaining ones who have achieved much against all odds.

Eg.

When the Americans laughed at Ind.. request for supercomputers . Within 2 years they built their own.

When the western countries denied cryogenic tech, within 6 to 7 years they built their own.

When Germany denied specialised magnesium alloys , they developed their own .When the first plate of magnesium alloy rolled out of midhani germany said it would give Ind.. any amount of magnesium alloy.

drdo wrote back saying it was prepared to export the alloy to germany

When Japan denied high tech lithium batteries tech, they developed their own technology and productionize them.

When American denied mil grade rams , they developed their own in 8 to 9 years.

When Japan denied carbon fibre and composites tech , they developed the same.

When west denied Inertial confinement fusion tech , they developed their own much to the chagrin of the west. They were impressed so much that they invited Ind.. to join in the construction of Large Hadron Collider (LHC) the most powerful particle collider in the world, ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor), FAIR – Antiproton and Ion Research facility, LIGO – Gravitational Wave Analysis facilities etc

Etc
Etc

So the picture could have been better but low funding , stupid beuracracy , blind politicians hampered the overall effort.

Comparison is not legitimate more so becz they r 5th generation fighters , much of their capabilities r non kinetic and highly classified , so comparison becomes even tougher and near to impossible.

the comparison isn't legitimate because they are two completely different weapon systems.

su 57 is designed to be an air superiority fighter. f35 is designed as a multi role platform.
it's literally apples and oranges.

Out of curiosity did u know this fact that indians were in Africa thousands of years before the Arabs and Europeans moved in.

They had their own settlements ( trade ) with temples and all

But unlike Europeans and Arabs they never imposed their ways ( religion ) on the locals. They never indulged in slavery like them. Nor did they try to conquer the inhabitants.

They traded and then left as the mainland fell to invaders

And I am proud of it, maybe someday if law of nature holds true , the ways of the old will stand fast and again give rise to better people same as those of the old days.

But it is a foolish wish, a foolish dream

Actually,its the other way round. Africans were in India thousands of years ago. I rmbr last year or the year before I had unmistakable linguistic evidence of Cameroonian Bassa/Tamil and Australian aborigine language affinities on this thread IIRC.

The Tamil region in India predates all the remaining Indian nationalities. No Indian with all their ancients Sankrit and all that denies it. All Tamils are just as dark and sometimes darker than Africans.

humans came out of Africa which is more or less established beyond fact .

First hominins left Africa some 1.7 million years ago

By that logic Africans r everywhere

Anyways later on the various civilizations eg Chinese Indian Sumerian mesopotamian Egyptian African civilizations developed independently with very limited interactions among them. The interactions were mostly due to trade.

A broken storage jar with inscriptions in Tamil brahmi script ie written in a combination of Tamil and brahmi script was excavated at quseir al qadim a ancient port with Roman settlement on the red sea coast of
Egypt few years back, dating back to first century BC.

Many such archeological artifacts have been found.

Megasthenes 350-290 BC the Greek explorer in his book indika on his travels in India mentions the traders using sea route to Africa.

Glass beads dating back to first century millinium CE have been found at African sites and have been traced back to India/srilanka . Glass industry in India existed as early as 5 century BC.

That linguistic evidence u r speaking of can equally counter u r claim in that the indian traders were in contact with the said Cameroonian tribe and passed on the language to them.

How about this possibility ?

And u r not a archeologist or a linguistic or r u ?
Neither am I

So how can u claim something without giving evidence vetted by accredited archeologists or linguistics ?

Either way I have no problems as long as there r concrete evidence by concerned authorities to support the same.

History is a quagmire , if something is proven today , tomorrow it will be discarded in the light of new proofs.
So in a way we r all waiting for the truth.

Errrr,no,actually. Its common to assume the first humanoids were all Africans but as recently as the Neolithic 10000 bc to 2500 bc Africans migrated WORLDWIDE via river systems and overland. In this regard BB Lal,himself,former DG of your Archaeological Survey of India provided all the receipts on the ID of the earliest Indians.

Braj Basi Lal (born 2 May 1921[1]), better known as B. B. Lal, is an Indian archaeologist. He was the Director General of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) from 1968 to 1972 and has served as Director of the Indian Institute of Advanced Studies, Shimla. Lal also served on various UNESCO committees.[2]

He received the Padma Bhushan Award by the Government of India in 2000.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B._B._Lal

Generally,apart from dna,craniomterics,dental forensics or bone studies cultural toolkits like pottery are critical in identifying ancient people.


Dravidian pottery from South India has many Harappan signs, (fig 7).

B.B. Lal (1963) proved conclusively that the Dravidian was genetically related to the C-Group of Nubia, given the facts that both groups used:

1. A common BRW
2. A common burial complex in cooperating megaliths and circular rock enclosures.
3. A common type of rock cut sepulcher.

http://realhistoryww.com/world_history/ancient/Images_Indus/Dravidian/Dravidian_language.htm

Its very very interesting reading,btw!

It is clear that a common system of record keeping was used by people in 4th and 3rd millennium B.C. from Saharan Africa to Iran, China and the Indus Valley. The best examples of the common writing were the Linear A script, Proto-Elamite, Uruk script Indus Valley writing, and then Libyco-Berber writing. Although the Elamites and Sumerians abandoned this writing in favor of the cuneiform script, the Dravidians, Minoans, Mande and Olmecs continue to use the Proto-Saharan script.(fig

Many laymen,unfortunately even educated Africans assume there was no indig African script-nothing could be further from the truth. There are clear affinities with Harappan,Brahmi and Mande writing.

There's also linguistic evidence:

Miss Lilian Homburger, in Jules Bloch’s book The Grammatical Structure of Dravidian Languages, had recognized a number of morphemes which are to be met with in several Saharan idioms. Since then the idea of kinship between the Dravidian languages and certain Negro_African languages had become dear to her heart. [b]And so she began to study in succession the Senegalese-Guinean languages, Mende Bantou and ancient Egyptian, comparing them with the Dravidian languages. [/b]This is what led her to publish the following articles in turn: Dravidian elements in Pheul. ( Journal de la Societe’ des Africanistes, Paris, 1950), The Telegu and Mende dialects (ibid, 1951) , The Canara- Bantou, A few elements common to the Egyptian and the Dravidian languages and Sibilants in Indo-African.

http://arutkural.tripod.com/tolcampus/drav-african.htm

The point worth noting is that Miss Homburger was convinced of two things:



(1) She was sure that ‘ the Dravidian languages make it possible to explain the morphology of the Senegalese group, particularly Serer-Pheul.



(2) She was also convinced that there is a kinship between Kannada and the Bantu languages.

I already knew all this but this site has info I had no idea about!

The common features noticed in the areas of religious and social customs find their parallel in art and architecture also. As early as 1918, James Hornett noticed similarities existing between the South Indian boat designs and the Ancient boat designs of the Nile and Mesopotamia. He observed that before splitting off from the original stock the Dravidians living around Mesopotamia borrowed or invented the circular coracle and the reed raft. Coomarasamy has noticed that the ancient ritual and decorative designs of the Aegeans and the Dravidians are very much alike. In the technique dying, jewellery and in the making of metal weapons the West African Peuls and the Dravidians show remarkable resemblances. The Gonds of Central India, a Dravidian tribe, even now erect the houses similar to those erected by the Gallas of Somaliland.

Wow! I'm reading it now.

Interesting but still needs more research

In the 1st link u posted they themselves have assumed a lot

Eg.

"1. It was assumed that Harappan script was written in the Dravidian Language
2. It was assumed that the Dravidian Language shares linguistic and cultural affinities with the Elamites, Manding and Sumerians, all of whom used a similar writing system. This led to a corollary hypothesis that the Harappan writing probably operated on the principles as the related scripts, due to a probable common origin.
3. It was assumed that since the Harappan script has affinity to the Proto-Manding writing (Libyco-Berber) and the Manding Language the Harappan script could be read by giving these signs the phonetic values they had in the Proto-Manding script as preserved in the Via writing, since the northern Manding language like Banbara and Malinke are genetically related to Dravidian language like Tamil."

Too many assumptions and unknowns therefore it's just a hypothesis not verified beyond doubt.

Sometime ago another study found that proto dravidians were from austroloid stock

2nd link u posted kind verifies my post regarding indian traders and settlements in Africa in ancient times. But I am not holding on to it becz new discoveries or new insights might change it.

I don't have the knowledge to make a call or offer an opinion but be rather open to all possibilities.

So we have to wait for the time machines to be built

Then history will be history

Anyways thanks for the links it was a interesting read , hope someday we will have a definite picture.

The Steady State Superconducting Tokamak or SST-1 is an experimental fusion reactor in the Institute for Plasma Research (IPR) India.

It is one of the 2 tokamak develiped for use in fusion studies.

Tokamaks are a type of fusion reactors which use magnetic force to manipulate plasma. Plasma is a type of matter where electrons are separated from neutrons, and this separation is usually achieved by heat.

And India is one of the very few countries to develop and own Tokamak reactors.

The SST-1 makes use of extreme heat and strong magnetic field to fuse hydrogen isotopes and perform thermo-nuclear fusion. This results in temperatures 20 times greater than the sun’s core and a magnetic field equivalent to 1,000 times that of the earth’s normal magnetic field

Yesterday India conducted surgical strikes against NSCN-K militants operating in Myanmar.

The Indian Army reportedly carried out a successful surgical strike against a camp belonging to the Khaplang faction of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland, or the NSCN(K), killing five rebels and destroying the camp on Wednesday afternoon.

According to news reports, commandos of the elite anti-terror unit, the 12 Paras, launched the strike at the camp that was located at Shwelo, three kilometres inside Myanmar. Five militants of the outfit were killed and the camp was destroyed.

Soldiers of the 12 Para went swiftly inside Myanmar and reached the came at about 2 pm on Wednesday (27 June). The rebel camp was attacked by mortars, grenade launchers and rocket launchers. The Indian soldiers didn't suffer any injuries or casualties.

NSCN(K) information Secretary Isak Sumi has reportedly confirmed the strike. He said: "The Indian Army in huge number crossed Chenmoh village and arrived at the international boundary some kilometres away from the Naga Army forward post and on realisation that their presence has already been detected they resorted to blank firings randomly for several minutes to which the Naga Army responded and prevented any further advance. Casualties could not be ascertained. The incident occurred yesterday around noon".

Thursday's was the second successful surgical strike on North East rebel group bases inside Myanmar. A number of militants of the NSCN(K), the ULFA (Independent) and Manipuri insurgent outfits are based in the remote and forested areas in northwest Myanmar over which Myanmarese Army have little control.@Swarajya

Many of u might not know NSCN khaplang and NSCN Issac muivah r Christian terrorist groups .

That want to establish a country for Christ ( their words )

One can say brutality and insanity exhibited by NSCN K is equivalent to that of ISIS .

Know them personally. They r good jungle warriors.
They get ample funding from western countries and Christian organisations. Some of their leaders r holed up in Netherlands under the protection of that nations intelligence apparatus.

Recently khaplang died but the group is carrying on, it seems they have a understanding with the Chinese and have at their disposal a safe house in Yunnan province of China incase of emergency.
