Yes.I agree ,but to say Muslims just copied it from India is worse than a lie.This is the same lie which many europeans throw at muslims saying they copied from Greek.
Can you answer thses question if you dispute?
Arabic was the language of science for 1000 years and thats why books from other languages and other countries got translated to arabic. When there is a center of intellectual activity,it is only natural that this happens!!!
Have you windered why Indian number system has to go through Arabs? why on earth all the so called Greek knowldge has to be translated to arabic and then to Latin? Is Arabia very near to London that Greece?
Why no books were directly translated from sanskrit to chinnese..or sanskrit to greek?
It is simple-Arabic was the language of science and thats why it took that route..
This is not to underestimate the ingenuity of Indian mathematics but you cant have a simpleton view and say everything is copied as if Muslims had huge terrabyte hard disk
