Hindu India was ahead of everyone else in the world in Mathematics, sciences,Literature Astronomy and Arts.These are the words of an 8th century Arab scholar. The scholar in question is Arabic Philosopher Al Jahiz(c.800 CE) [^Source of above snippet: The life and works of Jāḥiẓ. Jahiz, Charles Prett, University of California Press, 1969].

"The first nation to have cultivated science is India. Indians have surpassed all other countries in Medical science and Astronomy"-Al Andalusi. Andalusi(c.1000 CE) remarks on Indians:

"India is known for wisdom of its people. it is a rich nation.Even though Indians are dark like Africans. Indians are source of fairness, objectivity and wisdom. Even though Indians are dark like Africans,Allah did not give the low character.He ranked them above whites"
