That doesn't negate the fact that Yoga is product of Vedic branch of health science studies. you have implicitly admitted this by being insecure of admitting the connection. And as I said before, Yoga is sold as "excercise" because scientists don't want to tick off extremist Christians in West by exposing them to Sanskritic roots of Yoga. In fact, all literature on Yogic science is in Sanskrit, only recently translated to english and european languages.
Apart from frequent winks and nods, which seem to be adequate substitutes for facts and logic for you, you have not connected Yoga and health science studies anywhere. Nowhere was an implicit admission made; not mentioning a connection that does not exist does not admit that connection.
The point about Yoga being sold as exercise is precisely that it has no organic link to science. Physics, for instance, a science, cannot be sold as a game, to obscure its origins. Physics, for instance, is entirely dependent on the scientific method, which you have failed to define, or even display a remote acquaintance with, in any of your posts. As a result, you are reduced to clutching at straws such as claiming that somebody's failure to mention a non-existent connection implies a connection. What moonshine!
Indians regard Yoga as a scientific practice. That's enough proof for the world. Why you need white men's signature on it? you are showing Colonial mentality.
Ah, at last! "It is our faith, and needs no further proof", and of course the compulsory wink and nod. Back to Ayodhya, is it? No need for scientific proof; the fact that millions of Hindus who don't know how to spell science believe that it is science is sufficient. Still no signs of any comprehension of the scientific method.
Similar mentality exists in our IAF and Indian army leadership, who needs Israeli stamp on Arjun MBT technology to ensure it works, otherwise they won't touch or even use it. Touch of white men is necessary it seems. Anything Indian is backward for them.
A rule of thumb: the weaker a discussion, the more the discussant resorts to smileys. It is a substitute for facts, and covers the awkward gaps.
The Army and Air Force have nothing to do with Yoga being, or not being, a science, or based on science. Do not create smoke-screens to disguise your complete lack of arguments. And leave your Bharat-Rakshak whines in Bharat-Rakshak.
If one smiley indicates a weak argument, what is two smileys? Right, it signifies an absence of argument.
Just examine the sentence above.
The point made by Angad_NSA was that
40 years ago, so-called "Scientists" used to mock Yoga as tribal science.
This was patently false, and that is what my answer indicated, that forty years ago, it was well-accepted. It being rejected by them is neither here nor there; that is not what Angad_NSA claimed. Having been contradicted flatly, and with nothing further to say, he pretends that the issue was something else.
Ignorant and a liar, to boot.
