it has come due to practical checking of triangle sides.if you had a right triangle of lengths 3cm and 4cm then hypotenuse is 5cm. then if you did it for other lengths and you would come to the pyth conclusion.esp if you drew squares on the triangle sides more important are the trignometric angles with which you could calculate a lot of things
before xian converts start barking, dear fellow Indians, please read about the contributions of 13-14th century Indian mathematicians such as madhava nampoothiri of sangamagrama to infinite series and calculus. unlike the chinese, most of us would never be allowed to learn about the contributions of fellow Hindus and fellow Indians before the arrival of colonialists. these xian converts will either to try to block the message or will mock us for some ridiculous claims while denying us our rightful legacy. these converts have been trained by their white masters to keep the pot boiling in our country.

I once met a Pakistani in a foreign land. I asked him about Chanakya but he had not even heard his name. Perhaps they teach in Pakistan that civilisation came to India with advent of Islam. As Chankya did most of work at Takshshila (or Taxila) Pakistanis have a right to be proud of him. It is a pity that they do not even know about him. In India the Macaulay-putras have a similar belief. They want everyone to believe that scientific knowledge came to India with the British. Any knowledge that pre-dates the advent of British must be called pseudo-knowledge. The reason for such a propaganda is conspiracy to keep the aspirational India which does not have access to English school and finishing schools in perpetual inferiority complex. Mani Shanakar Aiyyar's 'Chaiwala' diatribe typifies it. Fortunately, with the rise of aspirational India such persons are getting pushed to back benches.
Most likely group to come up with seeding knowledge for Pythagoras theorem are Carpenters.
Although deviation can happen, but if I got to take a blind guess then I would go with Carpenters.
Reason, Carpenters got to make lot of chairs, tables, beds extra from wood on daily basis, and for comfort of customer, the most suitable angle for joints between legs and raised platform on these things is 90 degree angle.
After building chairs, tables, beds of various shape and sizes for long time, Carpenters might have noticed that, distance between the bottom of back leg and the front edge of raised platform always seems to be of a fixed proportion.
First debate or discussion on the issue might have happened in the community of Carpenters, and then the idea picked up for further research and investigation by others.
Now whether the Carpenters where from India or some other place, I don’t know?
I think it would be a good assumption that, where the use and manufacturing of Chairs, tables or little worshiping bench (Po0ja Ch0wki) started first, seed of Pythagoras theorem originated there.

With Po0ja Ch0wki or simply Ch0wki, I remembered something, when we see some television serial about ancient religious Guru giving discourse to followers, most often the Guru sits on a Ch0wki few inches high and followers sit on the floor or mat.
Why Ch0wki only few inches high? Why not feet or two like a bench or chair?
May be the idea is, as a more learned person about G0d or someone giving knowledge about him, its right of Guru to have a seat higher than followers or students.
But if some day, name and fame of Guru spread far and wide and undercover G0d himself come to hear his discourse and sit among his followers, then the Guru is still sitting on the feet of G0d, as height of his raised sitting platform is no more than height of Human ankle.

In a modern context where religious Gurus give discourse before thousands of followers, sitting on a low platform might not be practical, unless you got wide screen Televisions hanging on the walls and broadcasting your sermon.
But wherever possible, teacher should try to keep height of his discourse platform close to students or followers, so they can feel you as one among them who is bit more learned about the subject.
If teacher raise his platform too high compared to students, then they might feel some Alien giving them sermon from sky, or bat hanging upside down on the ceiling fan and talking something, and thus they might not feel any relativity to themselves with your sermons.

Please read before you decide to write. For starters, take up Kautilya's Arthshastra.
If the Law of Karma is taken forward logically and rationally as per its concept, even Hitler or Stalin cannot be faulted for their crimes because what they were doing in this birth is only a consequence of what befalled them in their earlier birth. Law of Karma doesn't give its subjects the concept of free will. Everything that you reap in this life is what you sowed in your earlier life and that is the essence of law of karma and such a ridiculous concept is being hailed as a master stroke by its proponents.

Well before point it as ridiculous, you need to explain as to why you feel so ?

You are misinterpreting the law of Karma..
Whatever karma that we do based on our discretion comes back to haunt us in the present birth as good or bad, that is to say boon or curse.. That's it..
Use your discretion to do good in the current birth.. Everything is in your hands. If your Buddhi i.e; (your mind) is filthy, you'll do bad.. Control your mind to do only good.
If you do good karma, your future birth will be great else bad.. Simple as that..
I suppose, Hinduism advocates rational thinking, exercising discretion and retaining control over everything you do in the right manner..

Well are you atleast aware there are different schools of thought relating to the law of Karma contradicting one another ? If you do not believe, please check wikipedia by typing law of karma. I am not sure you are explaining which version of law of karma - is it the Ja1n1sh version ? I am talking about the H1ndu version of law of karma which talks about the cycle of birth and rebirth where the good or bad deeds in your earlier has an over arching influence in this birth. It is explained clearly that to be born a Br@hman, you should have done good deeds in your earlier birth and thus it is used as a tool to justify caste hierarchy.

By the way, the carvaka school of thought within H1ndu1sm has dismissed the law of karma.

I am not misinterpreting the law of karma. You are. I am just dealing the logical fall out on the consequences of Karma as put out by Sanskrit literatures. In your explanation, where is the concept of birth cycle ? It seems to be your own spin and fabrication. You say karma we do based on our discretion. Yes, in which birth ? This or earlier ? According to the Law of Karma as spelled out in Bh@gvad G1ta, it is in earlier birth over which you have no control in this birth which you call it as fate and has to necessarily suffer the consequences.
Well, your own design of law of karma seems to be good than what is stated in Bh@gvad Gita.
Ofcourse, All inventions such as Electricity, telephone, stethoscope, radio, airplane, Dynamite, Ship, atom bomb, television, printing press, rador, Rifle, Tank, computer, lap-top, rocket, motor car etc.etc were invented by Indians only, but stolen away by western scientists. Hypocrites! People are laughing at you for your false claim.

Yes they were Invented by theory from India, China and Greece. Europe was in Dark ages and considering Science as against religion; On the contrary, it was Arabs who actually translated the medival science text from Greek, Indian and Chinese invention. Cordoba in Spain where the Muslims ruled for 8 centuries was the triggering point of European to come out of Dark age. Cordoba was once upon a time a center of education holding many libraries and translated text of various old scriptures. When the xtians occupied this territory back they burned many libraries but from the remains they were used to bring out new revolution.

We have become a laughing stock to the outside World by such frivolous claims and above all the Prime Minister is on record by claiming that Shiva is the first plastic surgeon in the World. Can there by anything more bizarre than this ? My worry only is that whether such kind of beliefs will be imposed in the School and College curriculum and thereby distorting our education system which is already going backwards.

Read Chariots of Gods. You will understand who imparted the knowledge of Science to India. Also see the video 'Sphinx' on U-tube. You will irrefutable evidence which you want to ignore by abusing everyone.

So, I have to accept that Shiva was the first plastic surgeon and you say you have irrefutable evidence. Is it so ?

Didn't Vajpayee rule between 1997-2003 ? What did his Government do to bring out this glory of our ancient heritage ? Now it is Modi Governemnt which is ruling for the past seven months and they seem to be doing nothing but only indulge in flashy rhetoric glorifying our fictitious past.
