Raj Vedam is an Electrical Engineer by training and enjoys a range of intellectual pursuits. He is an amateur astronomer with an interest in the history of astronomy. Raj is a history aficionado and reads voraciously on a range on historical topics, with a special interest in ancient prehistory, and the spread of knowledge, arts, culture and philosophies across cultures. He is a founder-member of Indian History Awareness and Research, and takes a keen interest in the narratives of civilizations, and the application of scientific methods in the validation of historical narratives.
I speak to him about the various empirical proofs debunking the Aryan Invasion Myth and also about the intellectual achievements of ancient Indians, and how India can reclaim that scientific and learning temper again.
