 Top 5 Inventions of India 

1.The Zero

    "Zero and its operation are first defined by [Hindu astronomer and mathematician] Brahmagupta in 628," said Gobets. He developed a symbol for zero: a dot underneath numbers. Depending on the context, there may be different words used for the number zero. For the simple notion of lacking, the words nothing and none are often used. Sometimes, the words nought, naught and aught are used.

The most common practice throughout human history has been to start counting at one, and this is the practice in early classic computer programming languages such as Fortan and COBOL.

2.The Ayurveda                       

Ayurveda, a natural system of medicine, originated in India more than 3,000 years ago. The term Ayurveda is derived from the Sanskrit words ayur (life) and veda (science or knowledge). Thus, Ayurveda translates to knowledge of life.

What is Ayurveda used for? 

Some people use ayurvedic practices to maintain health, reduce stress, and improve flexibility, strength, and stamina. Practices like yoga and meditation can be helpful for people with diseases such as asthma, high blood pressure, and arthritis.

The practice of Yoga was started during the Indus-Sarasvati civilization in Northern India over 5,000 years ago. It was first mentioned in Rig Veda, a collection of texts that consisted of rituals, mantras, and songs which was mainly used by Brahmans, the Vedic priests.

Benefits of Yoga:

The art of practicing yoga helps in controlling an individual's mind, body and soul.

4.The USB

Ajay V. Bhatt (born 6 September 1957) is an Indian-born American computer architect who defined and developed several widely used technologies, including USB (Universal Serial Bus), AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port), PCI Express, Platform Power Management architecture and various chipset improvements.

The second reason that USB Flash Drives are so popular is that they have so many uses... Another use for a USB is to back up information. A lot of people store important information/data on their computers, whether it be personal information such as family photos, or business related such as spreadsheets.

5.The Chess Game

The earliest predecessor of the game probably originated in India, by the 7th century AD. From India, the game spread to Persia. When the Arabs conquered Persia, chess was taken up by the Muslim world and subsequently spread to Southern Europe. In Europe, chess evolved into roughly its current form in the 15th century.

Chess is a hard game to learn due to its sheer number of pieces (16 each player) that have their own unique movements, the openings that are too diverse and extensive, and the plentiful options for a move the player has to choose from.
