Re: Why we oppose Sa nskrit week in CBSE schools?
that is someone's opinion. it is in fact a circular argument. we don't know the derivations except through the text of the YB. so there is no way to prove that the derivations were known before. the derivations given in YB were not written down elsewhere. to modern mathematicians the primary source material for the derivations are from the YB. everything else is conjecture.

there exists at least one (and perhaps more) commentary on the YB written by a student of the author of YB. This commentary is in sanskrit. It is possible that this commentary and other commentaries on the YB give references to the original source material used in the YB.
The thing that convinces me that the YB contained no new original material is that the text is in malayalam. Had there been any original contribution in the YB the author would have written it in sanskrit because that would have enabled him to get intellectual recognition and constructive criticism from scholars across India. But if it is just a tutorial text for students (like a 'key' used in preparing for exams in India) with no new material then the author may as well write it in the native regional language of his students.

ironically a malayalam and not a sanskritic text is the source material that modern mathematicians use to study medieval kerala mathematics!

that is because the sanskrit texts are too cryptic and condensed, not because the author of the malayalam text was a superior mathematician to the authors of the sanskrit texts.

neelakantha somayaji was himself ethnically a malayali naboothiri, not a panda.

additionally, there exists a commentary to the malayalam text which has been written by the student of the person who wrote the malayalam text. this commentary is in sanskrit.
