Look up tests from 7-800 AD and you will find references. Now you wonder why it was called Bharat( because of course Bharat did not exist). Similarly the Arabs call Orange "Burtaghal" as it came from Portugal. So there is evidence that things were named after their origins. Bharat might not have had the same connotations but it did exist. So please dont deny history. Credit is given where it is due. The term zero is an Indian origin terminology as connotations were not understood previously. So there are roots of Maths and possibly of Chess in India.A</blockquote>
