βœ… Bakhshali manuscript was found in a village called Bakhshali, near Peshawar, now a region of Pakistan.

βœ…It was found by a local farmer and was acquired by the Indologist AFR Hoernle, who presented it to the Bodleian Library in 1902, where it has been kept since then.

βœ… It consists of 70 pages of birch bark, a common writing material before the advent of paper.

βœ…Symbol in the Bakhshali manuscript is particularly significant for two reasonsπŸ‘‡

1) Firstly, it is this dot that evolved to have a hollow centre and became the symbol that we use as zero today.


2) Secondly, it was only in India that this zero developed into a number in its own
, hence creating the concept and the number zero that we understand today β€“ this happened in 628 CE, just a few centuries after the Bakhshali manuscript was produced, when the Indian astronomer and mathematician Brahmagupta wrote a text called Brahmasphutasiddhanta, which is the first document to discuss zero as a number.
