The indians came up with the Phythagoran theorem in the 6th century? Hmmmmm I am not a matematician, but Phythagoras died in the 495BC. Wouldnt that make it about 900-1000 years before the 6th century?

I would like to request admin to remove the comments against India, as it is not valuable to say anything wrong about any particular country.

What India is dealing with has no concerns with suggestions.

Guys if can say anything good about any one, atleast dont spoil your tongue by saying bad things.

Pleas be supportive.

Thanks
