A good scientific article on this historical topic from an eminent Indian Scientist, here is the abstract:

Scientific renaissance in medieval Europe and its absence in
medieval India can be explained in terms of several causal factors which
were positively operative and negatively non-operative in the respective
instances. Ancient Indian science had achieved some meritorious successes,
but these advantages were squandered through casteism, vainglory and
non-appreciation of several factors such as manual labour, mechanization
and education at all levels of society. Additionally, India received the
Islamic onslaught and civilization in its decadent state when it had little
intellectual resource to offer to this sub-continent.

Europe on the other hand, had stressed on the importance of
manual efforts, mechanical inventions, early capitalism, questioning and
even defying, if necessary, the theological doctrines encroaching on the
natural and social sciences, and lastly the infinite zeal to learn from other
civilizations.

India had the chance to imbibe the spirit of scientific renaissance
in Europe during its Mughal Era, but did not avail of this opportunity. The
proposition that ‘had the British not come to India’, India would have
automatically revived its national cohesion and scientific spirit is hardly
tenable.

Here is the link to the authors' biography:

After his retirement as a Chemistry/ Mettalurgy Professor, he published no. of articles and books with Ramakrishna Math, and appears to be a good scholar.

Taken from Wikipedia:

Biswas's academic interest and firm conviction that both social sciences and humanities and science and technology are essential for human progress propelled him to publish a large number of research papers and reviews on a wide spectrum of topics.
