this is *not* an Indus Valley seal from 2000 BC it’s a Pāṇḍya dynasty copper coin from ~200 BC the elephant, symbol sequence, and fish sign on the obverse look so Harappan i’m struck by the continuity in style across 2 millennia and regions of the subcontinent

5th century CE, Shiva seal 🕉 with the depiction of Nandi and Trishool

Every calculation you have ever done uses a system India invented. Before Indian mathematicians gave the world zero and the decimal place, Greek and Roman maths used letters for numbers. Try multiplying MXLVII by CCXCIV. Merchants, architects and astronomers across the ancient world were trapped. Baghdad's Al-Khwarizmi (c.780–847) transmitted it west. His book on the Indian place system and algorithmic calculation laid the foundation of modern mathematics. The word "algorithm" is a corruption of his name. "Algebra" comes from his treatise title. Both are Arabic transmissions of Indian originals. Abraham Seidenberg's History of Mathematics credits India's Sulba Sutras as the inspiration for all mathematics of the ancient world. Lin Yutang, Chinese philosopher: "India was China's teacher in trigonometry, quadratic equations, grammar, phonetics." Carl Sagan thought Vedic cosmology the only ancient system whose timescales correspond to modern scientific cosmology. Every time a computer runs, it counts in a system India designed.

This stele is attributed to the kingdom of Funan,  the earliest #Hindu Kingdom in South East Asia (1st-6th CE in the Mekong Delta region. Centered in modern-day Cambodia and southern Vietnam, a wealthy, Indianized maritime trading hub that laid the cultural and political groundwork for the later Khmer Empire). The  text is in #Sanskrit, written in Grantha script of the Pallava dynasty, dated to the mid-5th CE, and tells of a donation in honour of #Vishnu by a Prince Gunavarman of the Kaundinya lineage. “younger son (nṛpasunu—bālo pi) of a king Ja[yavarman] who was "the moon of the Kauṇḍinya line (... kauṇḍi[n]ya[vaṅ]śaśaśinā ...) and chief "of a realm wrested from the mud" Historical sources and regional folklores refer to the arrival of the merchant Brahmin Kaundinya from India in about Ist CE and his subsequent marriage to a Naga princess Soma, an event traditionally associated with the founding of the ancient Funan kingdom in Southeast Asia

Similarities between the symbols of the OCP culture and the Harappan culture "Just as these similarities have been observed in pottery recovered from South Indian sites in recent years, identical parallels are found on pottery obtained from the OCP (Ochre Coloured Pottery) culture of North India. These resemblances indicate the expansion of Harappan symbols across both the north and the south." @anshikashukla_ @yajnadevam @kalyan97 @MumukshuSavitri

Found on the pedestal of a Viṣṇu idol, the 8-9 th century Deopāni inscription explicitly states that the Goddess is: "worshipable for the Śūdras, the twice-born classes and women" A powerful testament to equal spiritual rights.

Nowadays, the letter 'ळ' has virtually disappeared from Hindi names and even from common Indian names. Earlier, this letter was used in personal names. For example, in the Kāṇva recension of the Shatapatha Brāhmaṇa, there is a sage named Kahoḷa Kauṣītakī. Similarly, a king of the Satavahana dynasty was named Puḷumāvi. Perhaps this letter is still used in names in Maharashtra and South India today? @Aatma_the_soul4 @AbhayK70627 @anshikashukla_ @Param_Chaitanya @sarvamedha @sanjeevku @monidipadey @MumukshuSavitri
