๐A Map of Ancient India showing the area of Peshawar where Bakhshali manuscript was found in 1881.
โ Bakhshali manuscript was found in a village called Bakhshali, near Peshawar, now a region of Pakistan.
โ 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.
โ It consists of 70 pages of birch bark, a common writing material before the advent of paper.
โ Translations indicate that it may have been used by Silk Road merchants practicing arithmetic.
โ A large part of the manuscript had been destroyed and only about 70 leaves of birch bark, of which a few were mere scraps, survived to the time of its discovery

โ
Symbol in the Bakhshali manuscript is particularly significant for two reasons๐
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 โ 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.
