My feelings about Indian education are re-affirmed in this article: http://www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/The-Indian-number-system/article13997406.ece http://www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/The-Indian-number... “Akkangalude Charithram deals with everything about numbers; the science and history of digits, ancient culture and tradition which led to the discovery of the number system, and how the political, social and scientific fabric steered India towards the magic world of numbers. “This book which shows the history, science and uniqueness of the Indian number system can help instill in students a love for Mathematics. The sad part is, many Indians are still unaware that the decimal system originated around their homeland,” said Paulose Jacob.
