then the onus of proof lies with us to prove suśruta was indeed a great surgeon, whereas we never see Europeans giving evidence to establish that Euclid was a real man.

Following book by prof. CK Raju on Euclid is a worthy read for anyone who wish to learn how Academic Imperialism works to perpetuate the aforementioned biases.

Thanks for the sources. I'll be sure to go through them.

I am quite familiar with how Western history tends to misrepresent contributions of the East. It is rather unfortunate, and certainly extends beyond the realm of science.

In simple terms, colonial hangover is still there despite countless discourses over racism. Anyway, enjoy reading Prof. Raju. He has dobe a conference on the issue of Academic Imperialism, which is worth a watch on youtube.

My favorite talk by him is on Calendars.
