True Valor
The oldest dated zero in India is not in a treatise. It is on a temple wall, in a note about a flower garden.
Go up into the fort at Gwalior. There is a small temple cut into the rock there, the Chaturbhuj, dedicated to Vishnu.
On its wall is an inscription. It is not a poem, and it is not a philosophy. It is the record of a land grant.
The rest of this story, read aloud, and a new one every day.
