Chinese Counting Rods

Isnt it likely that Hindu Arabic numeral system is modification of Chinese Counting rods with local Indian symbols. Counting rods is dated to 4th century BCE, are decimal based and positional system. I will go on to say that it is 90% modern numeral except that zero was a blank space. In case of horizontal rods it may even be superior to Hindu Arabic wrt to addition and subtraction while multiplication is on par with Hindu Arabic. What's interesting is that there is ample evidence of Chinese monks pilgrimage to India starting from late 2nd century BCE. Sharjeel.khan126 (talk) 09:29, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
