Scientific paper

Introductory survey courses in astronomy usually devote some time to the history of astronomy. Quite often, only the Greek contribution receives any attention in the text books. Some times the contributions from Babylon and China are mentioned. Hardly any account is given of ancient Indian astronomy. Even when one is given, it is usually wrong as shown by examples taken from several current text books. An attempt is made to sketch the contributions from the earliest astronomy of India, namely Vedaanga Jyotisha, to the later Siddhaanta astronomies.
