    I just found out today that Indians may have discovered the Earth is spherical even before the Greeks.

    Thats probably Aryabhatta

    On the maharashtrian saree. You can also drape it with six and a half meters, but it will be more close fitting, like this:

    The Gujaratis drape it like this:

    LMAO!! you are kidding right? I have NEVER SEEN ONE Indian dressed up like this.

    You are trying to make their dress so glamorous and "fancy" as you said.
    I see how they are dressed everyday when I go to school. In fact most are dressed more like BARON has described. Most of them look as if they are blind when they dressed themselves. They put together colors and patterns that could make you go blind looking at them. But just to be really fashionable they throw in either flip flops with white sport socks on, or a beautiful pair of Nike runners which go with the rest of their attire beautifully.

    They brought us....

    Bangles: made from shell, copper, bronze, gold, agate, chalcedony etc.—have been excavated from multiple archaeological sites throughout India.

    Plastic Surgery: was being carried out in India by 2000 BCE.[7] The system of punishment by deforming a miscreant's body may have led to an increase in demand for this practice.[7

    Well John the average cost of a house in our neighborhood is about $425,000.
    But they pack as many ppl as they can in one house to pay for it.

    My friend was from Calcutta (Kolkata); the man was Godless and had a British accent. I like the majority Hindus from India, I don't like the Muslims from anywhere.

    India invented wearing open-toe sandals and slippers in the middle of winter ice and snow. India invented blue, frost-bitten, dirty toes.

    Wow your houses are cheap. I need to move, somewhere cheap like that. The average, well there aren't many houses around here, but the average condo in my area is $800,000 to $1,000,000. Ridiculous. The Indians I know usually wear western clothing, but their fancy clothes look very pretty, but so do most cultures elegant clothes.

    Those must be poor people who immigrate. Were your parents rich immigrants? Did they represent Polish haute couture? I bet they dressed like the Polish immigrants you see in the UK. Do you wear 5000-50,000 dollar clothes? Some sarees are woven with gold thread and can cost insane amounts.

    e.g. zardozi

    An outfit like this costs $3,000 to $10,000 depending on the quality of gemstones used.

    Didn't Indian women invent a sex manual?


    That's probably one of the greatest inventions in the world. Imagine this: Over in Ripe old England a "Lady" would lift up her gown, copulate and then feel bad about it, while over in India they were doing the nasty .... and taking notes!

    Thats the Kamasutra. And Mallanaga Vatsyayana is not a woman. He spent his childhood in a brothel as his aunt was a prostitute. So, from early childhood he was exposed to sexual acts.

    Didn't India invent the little carts that poor Indians pull while the rich Indians ride in the comfort of the little carts? Rickshaws?? I forgot the name of that form of slavery.

    Have the Indians ever come up with an award winning BBQ sauce for beef ribs?

    I think it's actually from China.
