Well, pretty soon,  someone is going to ask that with a straight face, if the Karanataka Govt.'s NEP proposal is implemented:

Question Pythagoras theorem and trim ‘Eurocentric’ concepts, observes the position paper of Karnataka’s NEP 2020

"In the position paper of Knowledge of India, the guidelines encourage students to question the Pythagoras theorem and Newton’s law of gravity. It says, “ …encouraging an attitude of questioning and not merely accepting whatever the textbooks (or print/electronic/social media) say as infallible truth, with a clear foundation of how knowledge generation takes place and how fake news such as Pythagoras theorem, apple falling on Newton’s head etc. are created and propagated.”
