Ignorance of Indians about their own history

It's always amazing to me to come across some Indians in USA who have absolutely no idea about the achievements of their own countrymen. some years ago,I came across an software professional who recently went on and Europe trip going ga ga over the architectural wonders of Europe. This guy had the gall to tell me that there is no similar structures in India!
This is just after I came back from Cambodia visiting Angkor Wat.
although I told him that he was wrong at that particular moment I did not have objective evidence to prove him wrong. But recently I came across this YouTube video documentary about the Shiva temple in TanjavurThe Brihadeeshvara temple of Tanjore/periya kovil/big termple
At the same time I am not a great fan of those people who try to prove that everything was discovered already by Indians.such as the description of Brahmastra shows that we already invented atomic weapons many hundreds of years ago before USA.
let's be proud of our Indian origins there is an a for for contribution in the past in the present and there will be in the future without having to produce pseudo-history
