Numbers Ka Itihaas: 20,000 Saal Purani Ginti Ki Kahani Aur Zero Ka Invention
Numbers yaani ginti ka use aaj hum har roz karte hain—shopping, time dekhne, bills bharne, aur even WhatsApp pe typing karne mein bhi! Lekin kya aapko pata hai ki inka itihaas lagbhag 20,000 saal purana hai?
Chaliye is amazing journey ko explore karte hain—from prehistoric tally marks se lekar modern decimal system aur zero ke invention tak.
1. Sabse Pehle Ginti Ka Shuruaat (c. 20,000 BCE)
Sabse purane evidence mile hain ek notched bone se, jise Ishango Bone kehte hain (found in present-day Congo). Yeh bone proof hai ki prehistoric humans tally marks ka use karte the—yani lakiron ke zariye count karte the.

2. Structured Number Systems (c. 3000 BCE)
Mesopotamia (Sumerians) – Base-60 System
- Sumerians ne develop kiya sexagesimal system (base-60), jiska asar aaj bhi dikhta hai:
- 60 seconds = 1 minute
- 360 degrees = full circle
Ancient Egypt – Decimal System
Egyptians ne banaya tha ek base-10 system jise unhone measurement aur construction ke liye use kiya.
S: Mesopotamian numerals, Egyptian number system, base-60 vs base-10
3. Alag-Alag Sabhyataon Ke Ganit Systems
China
Chinese civilisations ne rod numerals aur knotted ropes ka use kiya tha calculations ke liye (c. 2000 BCE).
Mesoamerica (Maya Civilization)
Maya logon ne develop kiya base-20 system jisme unhone ek true zero symbol ka use kiya, centuries pehle Europe se.

4. Zero Ka Invention: India Ki Duniya Ko Dene
Babylon (c. 300 BCE)
Babylonians ne zero ka use placeholder ke roop mein kiya—lekin us samay zero ek number nahi mana jata tha.
India (5th–7th Century CE)
- 5th century: Indian mathematicians ne zero ko ek number ki tarah treat kiya
- 7th century: Brahmagupta ne zero aur negative numbers ke rules likhe
Unhone positional decimal system ko define kiya, jo aaj ke modern math ka base hai.
Islamic World Se Europe Tak
Hindu-Arabic numeral system, including zero, Islamic scholars ke through Europe tak gaya, jahan Fibonacci ne ise popular banaya via his book Liber Abaci (1202 CE).
S: who invented zero, Brahmagupta zero, Hindu-Arabic numeral system
5. Aaj Ka Modern Number System
Aaj hum jo 0–9 digits use karte hain, woh sab kuch isi long journey ka result hai. Yeh Hindu-Arabic system duniya bhar mein universal standard ban chuka hai.
S: modern number system, 0 to 9 digits, history of numerals
Summary: Ginti Ka Safar Ek Nazar Mein
| Time Period | Development |
|---|---|
| 20,000 BCE | Tally marks (Ishango Bone) |
| 3000 BCE | Sumerian (base-60) & Egyptian (base-10) systems |

Final Thoughts
Numbers sirf maths ka part nahi hain—they are the foundation of modern civilization. Aur isme India ka yogdan (especially zero ka invention) sabse important hai.
