The concept of zero is not entirely an Indian contribution. It was used in different notations by different civilisations (the Mesopotamian, the Egyptian, the Greek and the Chinese along with the Indian). And the concept grew and evolved slowly (along with the concepts of fractions and decimals) over centuries in the hands of numerous mathematicians of different civilisations. This was helped by the close trade relations between ancient as well as medieval civilisations. The currently used notation came about only in the 11th century C.E. While Indian mathematicians (such as Bhaskara) too had a role in this evolution, it would be highly inaccurate to say that the zero is entirely an Indian discovery.

yeah we know everything Indian is what you don't like or rather hate...those who cannot take pride in their heritage cannot build its future. Off late the so called liberal, siculars & "educated" behave as if they are from some super human race with extra intelligence and every one else around is a fool who needs to be regularly fed with their non-sense.

Fools are those who seek to and believe in doctoring history to feed their baseless egos.
Fools are those who believe the past can be changed.
Such fools suffer from inferiority complexes or from ignorance or both !
The packing of the ICHR (ever heard of it ?) with spin doctors by the BJP govt is an expression of such an inferiority complex !
