Theory of Unoriginality of Indian Astronomy
D. Pingree is known for propounding his theory of "unoriginality" of the Indian science of astronomy (jyotiṣa), the majority of this science rests, according to his preference, solely on foreign concepts. He claimed that all in early Indian astronomy came from Babylonia even in the absence of any evidence for this thesis. This theory of unoriginality is highly debated amongst scholars and many of his arguments have been dismissed. K. S. Shukla for example, points out Pingree’s free and incorrect amendations to the manuscript of the Yavanajātaka, which Pingree believed to be highly corrupted. RileyRevy (talk) 23:09, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
