I will accept your point,
But as far as the western people thinking we are "Backwards" our ancestors had developed dentistry and had urban planning when their ancestors were painting their faces blue with berry juice and climbing up hills with clumps of iron.
In fact whilst the list of advancements owed to South Asia would diminish this thread and become off topic I thought I would mention just a small list of historical human advancements that were discovered in South Asia and by South Asian civilisations.

That is because the majority of the west for better or for worse feel they have no room or need of organised religion in their lives, their faith is replaced by Apple and Samsung and Sony, there is a reason majority of western elderly die alone and abandoned rotting away in old folks homes.
And having no fall back on faith and prayer, living in a consumer heavy hyper commercialised world is the reason there is rampant depression and anxiety among people in the west with very little life satisfaction.
Again the post would make this off topic but most of the refugees in the west are from nations that were once prosperous and self-sufficient and looted, raped, pillaged and left destitute by the West following their expansionism during the Industrial Era.
Hosting refugees is their penance.
