Naman to Shri KPSGill on GuruPurnima. The DharamYudh he led against Khalistani Jihadis wasnтАЩt just the most successful example of fighting counterterrorism anywhere in world тАФbut given the constraints Punjab was fighting under, also the most HUMANE.
A truly GREAT scholar-warrior.
Indians had Algebra before the Muslim prophet & religion were even born. Here is the Bakhshali Manuscript, dating back to the 3rd century CE. It is an Algebraic treatise.
The Bakhshali manuscript, which has been carbon-dated to the 3rd century CE, is an ancient Hindu treatise on Arithmetic and Algebra. The Algebraic problems deal with simultaneous, quadratic, arithmetic, geometric progressions & quadratic indeterminate equations.
Early Algebra is found in Shulba Sutras, dating back to 800 BC. Traditional Algebra reached its pinnacle in the works of Aryabhata & Bhaskara. What makes Bakhshali unique is it offers mathematical proof to its theories. It also contains the oldest known record of the concept of zero.
The earliest work of тАЬArabic AlgebraтАЭ is the тАЬAl-Kit─Бb Al-Jabr wal-muq─БbalaтАЭ by Al Khwarizmi. The term тАЬAlgebraтАЭ comes from this book (тАЬAl JabrтАЭ). Before writing his treatise, Al Khwarizmi visited India. His book plagiarizes from Indian Mathematics, and it is an obvious case of plagiarism at that.
The fact that Indian mathematicians heavily plagiarised Khawarizmi has been known to Western scholars for 200 years. Henry Thomas Colebrooke was a historian and mathematician. In 1817, Colebrook concluded (page 4) that Khwarizmi owed his Algebra to the Hindus. After carefully examining the works of Khawarizmi and ancient Hindu mathematical texts, Colebrooke concludes: тАЬThe inevitable conclusion is that Khawarizmi, conversing with the sciences of Hindus, must have learned Algebra from HindusтАЭ.
Another European Mathematician, Pietro Cossali, came to the same conclusion after diligent research. He says, тАЬKhwarizmi was skilled in the Indian tongue and fond of Indian matters. He translated Indian works. He was the first instructor of Muslims in Algebra. Not having taken Algebra from the Greeks, Khwarizmi must have either invented it himself or taken it from the Indians. Of the two, the second appears to me the most probable.тАЭ
The Arabs were invading with nomadic armies from the Arabian deserts. They lacked the most basic education and literacy. Even after their conquests, Arabs continued to live in tents. What sparked their interest in Indian Mathematics? What made Khwarizmi write his work? Who civilized illiterate desert nomads? The answers are below.
Until 770, almost 140 years after the prophet, there was no Arabic work on science, not one on Math, not one on medicineтАФabsolutely nothing. There is no exception to this rule. Until 770, Arabs produced only religious works or simple poetry.
Even after the Islamic conquests, most Arabs of the 7th century continued to live in tents. Even the caliph of the Arabs, their emperor, Muawiya, lived in a tiny shack constructed of only brick and timber. He had no proper roof, and birds were all over his тАШceiling. This person was not just a desert chief but an emperor who conquered everything from Constantinople to Afghanistan. Needless to say, there was no knowledge of Algebra among these people.
WATCH!
They donтАЩt come any more brave than #Bitta. Faced min 14 Khalistani bombs. Here describes one in which he saw smithereens of his security men, kids hanging on electric pole, a groom & horse blown to the roof of a building.
Remained unbowed & salvaged honor of #Sikh turban.
Greatness of ЁЯЗоЁЯЗ│
Most gallant son of Maa Bharti - Bitta - who bore 14 bombblasts on himself but didnтАЩt bow down an inch to Khalistani terrorists, is also a follower of Jainism тАФa creed of nonviolence.
