There is no contradiction. One is a historical conquest, the other is riots. I hope you can see the difference.

The reason, presumably, why he is somtimes (and very, very rarely) cited to have been born in Multan, is because his mathematical work was translated by the Persian scholar Alberuni who was employed at the court of Mehmud of Ghazni, who in turn had conquered Multan.

With all due respect sir, are you blind? Didn't you see the numerous and highly credible sources citing that he either wrote the book in India and/or was born in India? Do you simply pretend that those sources do not exist, or do you have some supernatural source of information that we do...

You have ONE source in French language (not that I have anything against the French), another "source" from "Blogspot.com". Aren't you ashamed to call these things sources? And even if, by the smallest chance, he was born in Multan, the number zero was STILL invented in India because he...

Some more clarification on Brahmagupta: Brahmagupta, whose father was Jisnugupta, wrote important works on mathematics and astronomy. In particular he wrote Brahmasphutasiddhanta (The Opening of the Universe), in 628. The work was written in 25 chapters and Brahmagupta tells us in the text that...

Earliest Documented evidence for the use of Zero in the place value system: The oldest known text to use a decimal place-value system, including a zero, is the Jain text from India entitled the Lokavibhâga, dated 458 AD. This text uses Sanskrit numeral words for the digits, with words such...

The modern concept of the zero was given by Brahmagupta in the 5th century AD. Before him Aryabhata had already given an incomplete definition of zero, which was later improved by Brahmagupta and others. This article is regarding the concept of zero as it could have developed by those who used...

No, definitons of pi have existed for a long time before in other civilizations, but Aryabhata gave a very precise measurement to 3 decimal places (more precise than those before him). Yajnavalkya gave an approximation upto 2 decimal places in 9th century BC Later, Nilakantha Somayaji...

History of the Zero: What is certain is that by around 650AD the use of zero as a number came into Indian mathematics. The Indians also used a place-value system and zero was used to denote an empty place. In fact there is evidence of an empty place holder in positional numbers from as early...

You can't say. I for one am betting against the incumbents.

You type that everytime just to annoy people, don't you? :lol:

You're right of course. But it gets tiresome to read the same crap everyday about how muslims were the saviours and the nasty evil hindus colluded with the brits. .

No thanks, I'd rather not. I've got better things to do than dig up dirt.

Oh, I'm seeing everything as Hindu and Muslim? Perhaps its you who are failing to see that A.Rahman here is seeing everything in terms of Hindu and Muslims, and making tall claims that Muslims are the ones who "stood like a rock" against British forces, when almost every king, both hindu and...

Excuses, excuses. There are plenty of Indian texts with verses that would seem immoral in modern times. However, we are not the ones making lame excuses like "weak hadith" and "out of context".

There is no such thing as "Muslim Lineage", and its the Islamic rulers of Bengal who BTW lost first to the British. Battle of Plassey. Rings a bell? The Battle of Plassey (Bengali: পলাশীর যুদ্ধ, Pôlashir Juddho) was a...

I see, so first they wil be tried and then tortured? Or will they be tortured first and then tried? :rolleyes: When was the last time your numerous "RAW Agents" were produced before court in pakistan? Every few weeks a RAW agent is apparently caught, and then all traces of him seem to vanish.

Wow. And you guys complain about Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay.

Is that a threat? For that matter, even I could quote Hadiths which describe the worst kind of attitudes and deeds, but you guys will always have the ready excuse that those particular hadiths are 'invalid" or "fake' or "out of context".
