Kaushaj-ji, very interesting subject and good job on the blog. Suggestion - please consider publishing a series of monographs through 'secular' outlets to educate the larger public.
Hope the recent findings of some UK-based historic-researchers have reached you - they have shown that a distinguished Kairaliya tradition of Indic Mathematicians (e.g. Neelakantha) that continued till 13th c, must be credited with the founding of calculus - centuries before Newton. And not only that it is not a coincidence that Europe/Newton suddenly discovered the subject - Jesuit missionaries and other Europeans of the period have the credit of smuggling / translating the Indic Mathematic treatise and transporting to Europe.
This was widely reported in Indian news papers last week.

For records, the accurate name is Aryabha<b>T</b>a and not aryabha<b>TT</b>a which is more popular - thanks to the European writers. This accurate naming has been thoroughly emphasized by the pioneers like Dr. Bhao Daji, and earlier TIkA-kAra-s.
