Who is the father of Atomic theory?
Acharya Kanada
John Dalton (1766 – 1844) is the man credited today with the development of atomic theory. However, It would be surprising for many people today to know that the theory of atoms was actually formulated 2,600 years ago by an Indian sage and philosopher. The first Indian philosopher who formulated ideas about the atom in a systematic manner was Sage Kanad who lived in the 6th century B.C.
Kanad was born in 600 B.C. in Dwarka, Gujrat. His real name was Kashyap. He was the son of a philosopher named Ulka. From his child days Kashyapa displayed a keen sense of service. Minute things attracted his attention.
Without his bravery, Sanatana Dharma would have almost parished due to invasion.
