There are ancient Chinese, Greek, Roman, Jewish etc well preserved literature available in the world or for some outer limits of the world are the geographical boundaries of present day India. 

No doubt in ancient time science of India was much advance. Technique of Aeroplane as know to Indians before Europeon. Plastic surgery was common  at the time of Tipu Sultan. Language of computer is in Sanskrit and Sanskrit is language of India.

 Reference to aeroplane is made in Ramayana and other scriptures too and Mahabharat is one of the best ever epics written from ancient times that is still relevant , but Sanskrit being the language of Computer is not true, however, it is said to be the best suited ...this link which throws some light n the subject !

Very true. An Italian Scientist, Dr. Roberto Pinotti said in  World Space Conference that it's high time to examine in detail the Hindu texts instead of dismissing all the Vimanas or Aeroplanes  descriptions as mere myth. He further added that Vimanas are similar to modern Jet propelled flying Machines.

Here is an interesting article pertaining to Vimanas.

The importance of internet cannot be overestimated. This is indeed a boon to get any information/ knowledge at a click anywhere.  I agree that India had vast knowledge. Today even to access the ancient knowledge, it will  be more convenient to use internet. 

Internet should neither be overestimated nor be underestimated. Stil itl has its own uses and uniqueness. Yes, Internet can be used to access the information about, not only India's ancestral richness and heritage, but about the other civilizations like China Egypt etc.

It appears that India was more modern than today also in the ancient times. Then why it is at such level as it is today. Why did it get subjugated for 1000 years. These are questions to be debated and answers sought. However it will not be done. It requires effort to do so.

All past civilizations - Chinese Egyptian, Greek or Indian were culturally rich and people seem much more daring and outgoing from what we perceive although it may be the few belonging to the creamy layer who got the opportunity to do so ! Since then though we have evolved in many ways, we also are facing the negative impact that is bound to be there when there is change in the structure of the society and lifestyle ! Democracy in India has come with a heavy price !

The only reason that people of ancient time didn't transfer their knowledge to next generation. I read some where that invention of Chankya is written in codes and it is possible till the day to read them.
