The word "Trigonometry" itself is of Sanskrit origin: Tri (three) + kona (corner/angle) + niti (measure). The word "meter" or "metre" is from Sanskrit "Miti" (मिती) (meaning: measure/measurement). The decimal system of weights and counting we all know so well is of Indian origin too.

India was enslaved and exploited for centuries. By the people who stole its ideas and claimed them as their own.

But greatness can only be suppressed for a while, sooner or later, it will show itself.

The world will heal from its wounds, and the truths shall surface again.

India is #5 world economy now, by the way, and will become #3 before the end of this decade. Not bad for a nation that was still a slave just a few decades ago.

Did you know.. Ancient India (subcontinent) was world #1 economy for thousands of years? Guess who made it poor?
