As for Al- Biruni, this is an excerpt from an Islamic web: "At an early age his fame of scholarship went around and when Sultan Mahmood Ghaznawi conquered Ural, Al-Biruni's homeland, he took al-Biruni along with him in his journeys to India several times and so he had the chance to travel all over India for a period of 20 years. Al-Biruni learned Hindu philosophy, mathematics, geography and religion from the Pandits to whom he taught Greek and Arabic science and philosophy."
Well- during his travels i india, he picked up a lot of mathematical ideas from Hindu scriptures and books. Aryabhatta was the one who predicted sun-centric Earth orbit a 1000 years before Al- Biruni.
We come back to same question- what have Afghanistanis achieve?
