  In ancient times, inventing the zero and the negative numbers required an immense effort of imagination.

  It took the world 1,500 years to discover the concept of zero — fascinating contribution made by the Indians.

  If you read the Vishnu sahasranama, which is part of the Mahabharata, Lord Vishnu is called both Shunya (Zero) and Ananta (Infinity).

  The Arabs learned a great deal from ancient Indian civilization. Their knowledge of Indian mathematics, medicine, astronomy, philosophy, and administrative art was assimilated, thus contributing to the enrichment of Arab civilization and culture.<br>The numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) and the decimal system (depending on their position in a number, these numbers are units, tens, hundreds, etc.) were invented by the Indians. In the 9th century, the Arabs discovered that these numbers greatly facilitated calculations and spread them throughout the world.😊

  And the colonizers make us Indians believe we are the most backward and our culture is primitive. It is about time we connect to our roots.
