Was Ancient India's Logic system more advanced? Prof Subhash Kak discusses

It is believed that Aristotle's disciple traveled with Alexander to India and took back the concept of Logic. All Western Logic is 2-state based (True or False) but Ancient Indian Logic was more nuanced...

SHOCKING & SADDENED ON HOW ANCIENT INDIAN SCIENCES WERE DECIMATED & PLAGIARIZED.
Hoping a BOOK IS PUBLISHED enumerating point to point comparison is documented, authenticated and released for all the world to know about our glorious and enviable Ancient India's surreal advancement in astronomy, science and technology.
Thanks. Prof Kak and Sri Iyer for this compelling & absorbing discussion.

Another instance is... One of my teacher at cdac, Mr Ali who is such as passionate guys... Trains folks at likes of google, ms, Harman, Honeywell.. (Lets spare his more introduction Great guy ) .... Asked us once.. What's the 4th law of Newton.. Then we explained that... There's was actually 4 laws... Discovered long before Newton... By someone living some distance away from Bangalore... Probably bhaskaracharya was his name... I have to This guy had many more interesting stories to tell

Keep it up. Sri. Lots of 'chintan' for me in a healthy way.

It's very informative but concepts are tough to understand

[mojii]

Always knew it or had had a suspicion of many discoveries, invention and innovations attributed to some other folks.. Was actually been there in India... Long before... People claim to have discovered...

One of my maths teacher... Told us to actually call Pythagoras theorem as something else theorem... Forget it... I think it was there in our ncert at the end of the chapter 11-12 I think

I suppose for the Greeks also, they tended towards assuming a principle of non-contradiction, which would have left them with their bipartite logic. Parmenides, Plato and Aristotle all assumed this. This distinction between soul and matter was also present within Greek thought.

Thank you to both of you. It was really enlightening. You are doing a great service to all Indians.

The subject matter has been made more complicated.

[vinayseth]

So there was Something, Nothing and a division-less state devoid of binary division. What was the 4th logic state though? (Prof. Kak mentioned 4 at the beginning).

Rather than whining what happened to us. We should concentrate on contemporary etc. We have world's 75% of Thorium deposits on Southern coast and we are not purifying it for nuclear energy, why?

[danielnosuke]

Jews came from India? Sorry, there's no point in listening any further if that is the quality of the discourse here.

[shrirangdike]

This is fantastic, but you are talking about most of it from षड्दर्शन(Shad darshan) which is hardly one point. Although it looks great you are looking at vedas from prism of western and even Shad darshan prism.

This is purely a western way of “analysis” of scriptures.

I have no doubt that vedas are more superior and have far advanced knowledge and systems information about universe

To give example : Do you know the gods (देव-loosely god’s from western point of views ) has different logic and be sure because time is cyclic some time you going to get different segment of knowledge in scriptures which are in different. linear time zone!!

I think more research is needed with being who are enlightened... but you will not do it ....it will be waste ...wait for few thousand years before you actually understand world

Prof Kak doesn't represent Ancient Indian wisdom because he always conveniently leaves out the Buddhist philosophical contributions, and I'm not even sure he understands it. He's a Vedantist which is perfectly fine, but he's not a representative of Indian thinking in general let's just say that.
