India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Hindu Mathematics (History)Al-Nadîm (987) is the name of an Arab scholar who, in his works, included references to the “Indian number system” or “Hindu numeral notation” (with zero), which was perfected and was in use in India during the earliest centuries of the Christian era.—In the Fihrist, the author Al-Nadîm includes the Hindu numerals in a list of some two hundred alphabets of India (Hind.). These numerals are called hindisah.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
