Thought for the day -'From Shunya,Bija-Ganitham,Al Jabr,Algorismi to Zero.' Hi Satish: I wouldn't pay too much attention to Paine's work as it appears (from the few reviews I have read) to be not more than a 2nd/3rd hand account of how one man perceives the East influenced the West and vice versa. Have you read the book titled 'The wonder that was India' by Prof.B.L Basham ? I think I need to get a copy of this somehow. Here is a review by a reader (from amazon) S.D.P. Phronimos(spyridon@hol.gr) from Athens, Greece , August 23, 1998 ...the "standard introductory textbook" that is also a true joy to read for any layman who wants some accurate information on early India. At the time the book was first published (1954), Professor Basham was teaching at the School of Oriental and African Studies of the University of London.Later he moved to the chair of Asian Civilisation, at the Australian National University, Canberra. His book remains a perennial despite his passing.' ================== Here is something I found interesting this morning- 'De Numero Indico' and other fascinating stuff. india.coolatlanta.com gosai.com historyofindia.com
