Those who believe that manufacturing, even of simple items like needles, did not exist in India before the arrival of the British. These people are really "fools" and that historical evidence, specifically the Ambabai Devi statue in Kolhapur, proves them wrong.
The statue is a primary example of ancient Indian metallurgical sophistication. They highlight the impressive feat of crafting a statue from three different metals—silver, copper, and bronze—without any signs of welding. This is used to challenge the notion that India was technologically backward.
Some people falsely believe that India was not technologically advanced before the British era. The Ambabai Devi statue, made of a seamless combination of three different metals, demonstrates advanced metallurgical skills that existed in ancient India.
Therefore, the belief that India lacked manufacturing capabilities is incorrect and held by "fools."
The primary purpose is to counter a specific historical ignorance about India's technological and manufacturing past by using a culturally and historically significant artifact as proof.
