Before the arrival of Islam there, What is now southern Afghanistan- were the learning centers of the Indian sub-continet. People fro what is now India (both north and south) use to to and study there in there univesities. That was more than a 1000 years ago. Now the same people grow beards, some lives in caves, some sells their daughters to pay debts, some live like retards.
Amazing what islam did to them- but hey they will ow defend islam with their lifes.

Naipaul is neither a historuan nor a scientist-He is good at story telling..before reading Naipoul's book , read about Naipaul!!! He perfectly used the post sep 11 situation to his advantage and churned out garbages like wonded civilization- The nobel comitte might now be weeping for this colossal mistake

Amartya sen is not a story teller -he is a economist!!!And I havent seen any scathing remark against Amartya sen in intellectual circles as it is done against self loathing Naipaul

Islam is the problem, it destroys every thing. Creativity is the light of God, look that these poor Arabs, they had the creative light of God, and Islam destroyed it as it is the prime purpose of Satan to destroy God's good work. Look at pakistan, it was destroyed by Islam while India continues to kindle in the light of God. Look at All Islamic countries, the light has been extinguished by Islam.

National science teachers association - the authority in school text books
..Studying the history of science helps students develop a sense of science (and mathematics) as a dynamic, human enterprise, and also provides a better understanding of the role that science has played in the development of various cultures. By coming to appreciate the immense contributions of Arab-Islamic scientists and scholars, students develop a deeper understanding of the foundations of modern science..
