>>Papyrus =/= paper.
The difference between papyrus and paper is the production process, not the material. And paper only became the dominant writing material used today because of advances in production made by Europeans.

>>It says something when white people couldn't even invent their own systems of writing. They had to steal them from India.

Our writing system is most directly descended from the Phoenicians which got their ideas from Mesopotamia and Egypt, not the Indians.

>>Do you think that you could have any of those things without writing?
The question is not if they could have occured without writing but if they could have occured without, say, "Indian" writing.

This is your fundamental mistake. Writing is very important but India made no contribution to the world wide development of writing since Egypt and China and million other civilizations developed it independently. Only the West made a large number of unique discoveries.
