Hindus contribution to the world.
by Madhwa on Dec 25, 2007 12:36 AM

To all the Muslimes/xtians braying about their "contributions" to the world, let me list the contributions of Hindus without which people all over the world would still have lived in caves!

1.First and foremost, the decimal number system, which the ARab traders carried with them to the west.
2.So also Algebra appropriated wrongly to Arbas but now correctly acknowledged to be invented by HIndus.
3.The basis for BNF notation, the modern computer language grammar - the sanskrit grammar/language. Refer to any compiler book, the inventor Panini is referred to.
4.All time great Vedas/Upanishads/Bhgavad Gita/epics - Ramayana and Mahabharata.
5.Innumerable literary works that stand the test of time.
6.Greatest existential philosophies by Shankara, Madhwa and Ramanuja.
7. Yoga and Kamasutra ;-)

The list can go on. But let the Islamists/xtians know that it was their brutal aggression that destroyed any progress in the intellectual endeavor of ancient India resulting in current day poverty and backwardness.
