India's greatest gifts to China : Kung Fu and Zen Buddhism

[faithfulguy]

Only a goddam moron would say tht Bharat is a mythology. Every Indian from north to South and East to West calls this land Bharat- hell even Pakistanis refer to it as Bharat. Now if you wanna 'pleasure' yourself telling yourself that you can do it. Your historians have the credibility of a tissue paper anyway (just like you do). Countries don't just get put together. it is the underlying civilization that coheses them into one.

Calm down. The land of Bharat existed since the beginning of history. A land is a geographical expression.

Calm down. The land of Bharat existed since the beginning of history. A land is a geographical expression. Though the land of Bharat existed that long ago, the land does not have a country called India in it. No country claimed that the land of Bharat should have one government and that all other political institutions are in rebellion. This didn't happen until Mughals and then when Britain conquered India, India as a country was created.

and so is religion which is more or less endemic to it .

That is not true. Western Europe are Christian countries. And before the reformation, western Europe all recognize Vatican as the spiritual head of the world. Does that mean western Europe was a nation at the time? Your definition of country is regarded as civilization by the rest of the world. And a civilization is not a country.

Just curious, when did India ever got its numeral system from China. I thought India is the country that invented the numeral system and the Arabs added the concept of zero and the whole system then exported to the rest of the world as Arabic system.

That's not true, only Arab contribution was designing some fancy symbols. Use of zero from a Hindu temple dating back to 876AD.

'Land of Bharat' that according you does not exist, according to Pak invaded and cut them into two as late as 1971. So much for your bharat is not a reality. India is the misnomer not Bharat. And Akhand Bharat is basically the political unit/state that India is supposed to be but is not. Your 'civilization' that 'is not a country' scares the hell out of the pakistanis coz they say idea of that political country is not viable anymore. Like all chinese trolls you're just an ignorant, half baked nincompoop with a big mouth and a tendency for endless verbal dhiorrhea.

Chinese created Numeral from 1 to 9

Chinese created symbols from 1 to 10 but they didn't know how to use zero to write 10, 100, 1000 etc.

Bharat is geographical and cultural entity. The concept of nation states was just imported in the last century.

Wut?

一零零零 = 一千 = 1000

Which one do you prefer?


Also: 5087 = 五千零八十七

Did ancient Chinese use zero to write number 10, 100, 1000 etc. before switching to Indian number system.

Here is the whole picture in my mind after reading these posts above:

China has martial arts,
India has martial arts,
Indian claim that Chinese martial arts got influenced by Indian martial arts,
Chinese call Chinese martial arts (Kung-Fu) generally,
therefore Chinese martial arts (Kung-Fu) was a gift from Indian.

That makes sense.

Ancient Chinese did have the concept of 0, which is written as 零, described as "無入" or even leave a blank.

And I don't think everyone must write number following the style of 10, 100, 1000 etc.

The concept of one country has nothing to with nation state. CHina, Korea, Japan and Vietnam were all one respectively country. Bharat is a religious concept, no country by that name ever existed. Mythology is not real history.

Glad to hear that you agree with me that Indian nation state was imported from Europe. I totally agree with you that Bharat is a geographical and cultural entity and not a political entity. India is a political entity.
