Creation of Zero and the Bhagavad Gita

The Creation of Zero
The number '0' was created by a group of mathematicians during the Gupta era. The placement of the number '0' affects the value of the number as a whole. For example, in the numbers 1230, 1203, and 1023; the zero in each one of these numbers effects it's value in the ones, tens, and hundreds place. Because of the creation of '0', mathematics in the present day are made much easier.

Bhagavad Gita
The teachings of Bhagavad, Confucius, Zarathrusta all had similarities and differences in regards to caste duties and attachment. A main difference would be how in Zoroastrianism, they were taught to enjoy all the world has to offer. While in the Bhagavad Gita, they were taught not to be attached to worldly pleasures and power. A main difference between these three teachings comes into play when talking about the a caste system; the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita says that people should act within their caste, but it does not teach that in either the teachings of Confucius and Zarathrusta.
