Knowing What We Know: The Transmission Of Knowledge From Anc

This is pr the stupidest book produced in western academic circles. The author of the transmission of knowledge has no conception of how Rigvedic knowledge was transmitted orally, a singular and marvellous achievement. The Rigveda remains a nearly unchanged knowledge tradition. The author in his absolute ignorance, claims writing evolved in four civilizations of the world, not mentioning India. The varu inventions in math, science, architecture, philosophy, martial traditions of India never find a mention. Not even the invention of zero! The various old universities are mentioned, but not Nalanda or Taxila! Why is a book on transmission of knowledge forgets one of the most important fountains of knowledge in the world? Racism seems to be the answer to me. But maybe it's just a classic case of people writing books when they shouldn't be.
