How India has lost its knowledge and wisdom
is the million dollar question being asked by number of Indians. The country
which was once known as ‘Vishwa Guru’ is now struggling for knowledge and
started believing in the British rulers. The country which had a tradition of
transferring of knowledge in the form of Shruti and Smritis, documented the
same in the form of Manuscripts in Sanskrit, Brahmi, Modi, Gupt, Pali and other
scripts. Unfortunately, the country has lost these manuscripts and now these
manuscripts can be seen in different libraries in countries like Germany,
London, Australia, USA, Austria etc. Dr Sheshashyan Deshmukh, noted indologist
of city narrated an interesting story of how British during their colonial rule
destroyed the knowledge and taken away the manuscripts. Dr Deshmukh narrated a
story of Andrew Dalgleish was a Scottish trader, traveller and government agent
(or secret agent for British) during the Great Game. Great Game was a political
and diplomatic confrontation that existed for most of 19th century between
British and Russian Empires over Afghanistan and neighbouring territories in
Central and Southern Asia.
