"For the past twenty years, I have minutely searched the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Puranas, Shastras, astrology books, and ancient texts on science but have failed to trace any root of modern science to them. No one but fossilised wiseacres would dare claim that the Vedas of the Hindus contained everything." — Dr. Meghnad Saha, _Adhunik Bijnan O Hindu Dhormo [Modern Science and Hinduism]_
