Be it in the field of science or sports, India has been the inventor of many great things but rarely gets credit from the rest of the world
If we look at historical scripts and books, India has always been a country ahead of its time. However, the nation was once branded a third-world country, and while today it is no longer called the same, it is still not given as much importance as the United States of America or Russia.
For example, over the centuries, India has invented several things but rarely received credit for them. In this trivia, we have listed some Indian inventions that will surprise you.
