Islam took knowledge from India and Persia .. As is the wont every civilization learns from its preceding civilization. What is so special in thsi case.. It happens every time.

Al Baruni puts this phenomena in writing when he says.."Conquering civilizations are invaribaly always less civilized and relatively barbaric and conquered civilizations are more scholarly."

For instance Al Khwarizimi wrote a bokk called hindu mathematics after visiting India.> Indian had the concept of negative numbers too but Kharizimi was nto convinced hence he discarded that btu rest he adopted.. What we today know as arbaic numerals is basically hindu numerals..

My point being every civilization learns something from its preceding civilization what is so extra-ordinary if someone learnt something from the advances during muslim era..

I fully belive if the large scale destruction of books and libraries of persians were not done by msulim invaders then renaiisance would have come thousand years before time. In those days muslim invaders logic while destroyign libraris and books used to be.. IF some book agrees with Quran then there is no need fo that book you might as well read Quran.. If it doesn;t agree with Quran then it doesn;t deserve to exist.. In course fo time maturity came and tradition of learnign was established even amongst muslims..

I don't understand why th is is paraded as somethign extra-ordinary.. This happens in each and every civilization sans iniital bunring of libraries might I add.

For instance in bihar Nalanda university library ( erstwhile stanford university like cult status) was burnt by Bakhtiyar Khilji.... We Biharis are so generous that we still have named railway station near Nalanda Bakhtiyarpur..

If India had contributed in numeric knowledge, you claim that, 'What we today know as Arabic numerals is basically Hindu numerals', On the contrary instead of that you acknowledge Muslim scholars basic contribution in modern science and knowledge, you are questioning 'what is so extra-ordinary if someone learnt something from the advances during Muslim era..' so the extra ordinary thing is that, 'what we today know as' western progress in knowledge, according to your "philosophy" we can say all
That is basically Islamic invention of different knowledge about science and space. Is this not extra-ordinarily then??? [hmmm]
Firstly I would like to make it clear that the narrator did say that some of the numeric basics were from India.
Secondly the short documentary is based on the 'History of Islam' is meant to be about the history and contribution of Muslim scholars not the 'History of India or Hindu's'.
You said ' Islam took knowledge from India and Persia .. As is the wont every civilization learns from its preceding civilization. What is so special in thsi case.. It happens every time.' If Islam took knowledge from previous civilisation (according to your point of view, that means India's knowledge would have come from the Greeks or the pervious civilisation, by saying that Islam took it knowledge from pervious civilisation, and then saying that every civilisation has developed their knowledge from other civilisation, you just contradict you self blatantly.

Sorryyy you cant change HISTORY [wall]

If Muslims wouldn't have come to india, it would have been still far behind than the rest of the world. A solitary, backward place with people of closed minds, reluctant to accept any possible effects of outside world (with people like BJP) and most importantly we would not be Muslims then. (thank you GOD for choosing Islam for us)
People of india call it a '' liberal democracy ''...... [funnny]
FYI there are quite a few liberals in india now only because of the effects of Muslims and their rich civilization , otherwise all the indians still would have been hindu extremists :evil:
