In January 2026, EU President Ursula von der Leyen visited India as the chief guest for Republic Day. During her visit, she spoke not only about modern partnerships in trade, technology, and security, but also acknowledged the deep historical roots of shared knowledge between India and Europe.
This video explores a fascinating question many rarely stop to ask. Did ancient Indian knowledge help Europe emerge from the Dark Ages?
Long before modern Europe took shape, India had developed advanced ideas in mathematics, astronomy, medicine, and philosophy. Concepts such as zero, algebraic methods, astronomical calculations, and even surgical techniques travelled from India through trade routes and scholarly exchanges. These ideas were preserved and expanded during the Islamic Golden Age and later entered Europe through translations in Spain and Sicily, contributing to the Renaissance and the Enlightenment.
Through cinematic visuals and historical context, this video traces how knowledge moved across civilizations, from ancient Indian scholars to Arab translators and finally into Europe, helping revive scientific inquiry after centuries of stagnation.
This is not a claim of superiority, but a reminder that human progress has always been collaborative. Civilizations grow not in isolation, but by learning from one another across borders, cultures, and centuries.
Watch the full video to explore how ideas travel, how history connects us, and why ancient knowledge still matters in the modern world.
