Hindu Number System

The number system in use in world now is Hindu number system. But the reason why its called Arabic number system is because the Europeans learnt this number system from Arabs. Arabs had learnt this from Hindus. Presently only a few people knows this and whats more embarassing is that even in Indian schools the text books still continue to print 'Arabic Number' system. Thus a true history of this number system is denied and also a sense of pride to be a Hindu as Swami Vivekananda said is also denied for the young minds.

Its very sad on the strategy of the western so-called civilizing missions, because anyone with some interest on these can easily find that 'Hindu' number system itself had been used in many old printed books from West.

In Deivathin Kural one could read on how the Geometry had come from Sanskrit word on Geo meaning Earth..and which gives the rest of Geography, Geothermal,etc its root. In the ancient times as how the Yagnas(sacrificial fires to appease Devas) were built in proportion gave the roots to Geometry.

But today how many even wants to know all these or to bring to the children's knowledge when their minds get shaped. We want to keep these 'Arabic','Roman' number systems in our school texts, but none wants to ask who will talk of bringing 'Hindu' number system in books to its rightful place?

Moreover in Arabic, the Namas must have had its origin from Namaste. The Namaste meaning I bow to you in Vedic or Hindu sense perfectly matches as it says Divinity is in everyone. But perhaps not accepted or not practiced in other religions and so they didn't add 'te' or 'to you' and instead kept 'Namas' alone.
Even the word Al-Kithab once again confirms, is it not? When its used by Arabs to mean their Holy Koran.

Anyway sure time shall take everyone to a common understanding on these soon.Until then guess the educationists can only make themselves slave to a colonial mindsets and continue to produce such students far from Swami Vivekananda's call.
