  <abstract>Metallurgy is an interdisciplinary subject consisting of Geology, Mining, Physics, Chemistry and other applied offshoots of Science. Currently its technological advancement is theory based application while contrary to it in ancient times it was empirical one (based on experiments and observations). This empirical based metallurgical advancement of ancient India was in no way inferior to the theory based advancement modern times.</abstract>
