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

[INDIC]

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.

I have already explained those thing, so I won't repeat them before you.

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.

Is India the only one, what about China.

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.

Our little Indian friends here need to be proud of something. So they like to take a likely coincidence and make it into history.

China has a strong national state and cultural identity. Its less of a geographical expression as it does not define a confined land mass and certainly less of a religious identity as compare to the rest of the world, but especially Indians, Arabs, and Jews. It will take a long time to explain but I have to go to bed so I'll explain this to you another day.

Thanks for having common sense to admit to historical facts.

"Those things" you explained was mythology. I'm talking academic history.

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

I believe all Indians should have an open mind like you and accept historical facts.

We have talked about it before, you may remember it and told me you would ignore me.

Other cultures too discovered decimal system but Indians mastered it with the use of zero which now dominates the world.

You are dominating my own delusion with zero. It serves no scientific purpose other than facilitating a numeral system. Even then Brahmagupta did not get the concept of zero correctly, he was dividing numbers with ZERO

It took Newton to correct it almost 1000 years later.

The History Of Zero

What's so funny about it.

Dividing number with ZERO.
And debunking fictitious claims.

Everyone knows India invented the concept of Zero.

From Wiki

The concept of zero as a number and not merely a symbol for separation is attributed to India, where, by the 9th century AD, practical calculations were carried out using zero, which was treated like any other number, even in case of division.[14][15] The Indian scholar Pingala (circa 5th–2nd century BC) used binary numbers in the form of short and long syllables (the latter equal in length to two short syllables), making it similar to Morse code.[16][17] He and his contemporary Indian scholars used the Sanskrit word śūnya to refer to zero or void.
In 498 AD, Indian mathematician and astronomer Aryabhata stated that "sthānāt sthānaṁ daśaguņaṁ syāt"[18] i.e. "from place to place each is ten times the preceding,"[18][19] which is the origin of the modern decimal-based place value notation.[20][21]
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, where shunya ("void" or "empty") was employed for this purpose.[22] The first known use of special glyphs for the decimal digits that includes the indubitable appearance of a symbol for the digit zero, a small circle, appears on a stone inscription found at the Chaturbhuja Temple at Gwalior in India, dated 876 AD.[23][24] There are many documents on copper plates, with the same small o in them, dated back as far as the sixth century AD, but their authenticity may be doubted.[13]
Rules of Brahmagupta
The rules governing the use of zero appeared for the first time in Brahmagupta's book Brahmasputha Siddhanta (The Opening of the Universe),[25] written in 628 AD. Here Brahmagupta considers not only zero, but negative numbers, and the algebraic rules for the elementary operations of arithmetic with such numbers. In some instances, his rules differ from the modern standard. Here are the rules of Brahmagupta:[25]
The sum of zero and a negative number is negative.
The sum of zero and a positive number is positive.
The sum of zero and zero is zero.
The sum of a positive and a negative is their difference; or, if their absolute values are equal, zero.
A positive or negative number when divided by zero is a fraction with the zero as denominator.
Zero divided by a negative or positive number is either zero or is expressed as a fraction with zero as numerator and the finite quantity as denominator.
Zero divided by zero is zero.
In saying zero divided by zero is zero, Brahmagupta differs from the modern position. Mathematicians normally do not assign a value to this, whereas computers and calculators sometimes assign NaN, which means "not a number." Moreover, non-zero positive or negative numbers when divided by zero are either assigned no value, or a value of unsigned infinity, positive infinity, or negative infinity.

Your zero is not the same the zero as today, that credit goes to Newton. Your brahmagupta was dividing numbers with ZERO, LOL.

Read up the wiki quote. All the rules for zero are given by Brahmagupta. By Newton's time use of Zero was too well established.

Mindless Chinese trolling

If you know math its funny

Its just not possible

In school they must have taught you that anything divided by zero is infinity. Lot many ancient mathematicians tried to solve the puzzle of dividing by zero. Now we even have complex numbers in mathematics like A+jB. So, what's so funny about it.

Bharat is not a relegious concept you clown. IT HAS FIXED GEOGRAPHIC CONNOTATIONS. Before 1947 the Pakistanis had to evolove two nation (it's called 'nation' you joker) theory to say that Bharat is two and not one. Goddamn troll.
