A lot of the Indians on here seem to be trying to leech Pakistani history by claiming references that say the number zero was invented in India, refer to modern day India.Whom are you talking about?
This somehow justifies the leeching of Pakistani inventions like the number zero. So, to put this straight
So you can see that when no beads have been moved, you need a symbol to represent “0". This symbol is very important, in order to show that this is the number 15730 and not the much smaller number 1573. It was probably in using an abacus that the Hindus of the Indus valley in today’s Pakistan first invented zero.

I would also like to point out some other Mathematical concepts our leechy friends try to steal by claiming that since their country today is called India, these inventions occurred within modern day India, when in fact they occurred in modern day Pakistan.

Pingala's Binary numeral system - usage of Pascal's Triangle and Fibonnacci numbers - Discovered 300 BC in Ancient Pakistan.

Panini's transformations and recursions - - Discovered 500 BC in the Indus Valley

Negative numbers - used for the first time in Ancient Pakistan

Many more things too. The name confusion caused at partition is nicely summarized:
"The first mathematics which we shall describe in this article developed in the Indus valley. The earliest known urban Indian culture was first identified in 1921 at Harappa in the Punjab and then, one year later, at Mohenjo-daro, near the Indus River in the Sindh. Both these sites are now in Pakistan but this is still covered by our term "Indian mathematics" which, in this article, refers to mathematics developed in the Indian subcontinent."
