I am proud to be a Hindu too. But I kinda don't get how all these are related to the Hindu religion directly. Eastern civilization in general might have been more developed in general than the western one back then, but does that necessarily translate to Hinduism being the superior religion or something? I think it was the civilization and not the religion. Otherwise a whole lot of today's developments can be attributed to christianity! But I would rather say it is the western civilization that have developed, and most of it has little to do with religion.
