While modern science was progressing in the West leading to Renaissance and Industrial Revolution, the geopolitical situation in India was not conducive for research or development. Although significant knowledge, wisdom and competence existed in this region, hardly any scientific advancement was possible. Indian communities were more concerned about preserving knowledge. This, in a way, led to the compartmentalization and monopolization of knowledge. India has witnessed a long period of great stagnancy that continued even during the pre- and post-independence periods.
