India history and geography
Syrians were employed as translators by the Khalifs at Baghdad.—Before the time of Mohammad the Arabs did not possess a satisfactory numeral notation. [...] During the reign of the Khalif Al-Mansur (753-774 A.D.) there came embassies from Sindh to Baghdad, and among them were scholars, who brought along with them several works on mathematics, [...]. It is believed by all writers on the subject that it was at that time that the Hindu numerals were first definitely introduced amongst the Arabs. It also seems that the Arabs at first adopted the ghobār forms of the numerals, which they had already obtained (but without zero) from the Alexandrians, or from the Syrians who were employed as translators by the Khalifs at Baghdad. Al-Khowârîzmî (825), one of the earliest writers on arithmetic among the Arabs, has used the ghobār forms.
Al Beruni mentions that Buddhism reached up to Syria in the west before the rise of Zoroastrianism. Zoroaster flourished around 1307-1230 BCE and founded Maghism (also known as Zoroastrianism). Persian king Gushtasp of Kayanian dynasty promoted Maghism. Consequently, Buddhism could not survive beyond Afghanistan after 1250 BCE.
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.
