It is not a hidden fact that people in the west have embraced yoga, not only it’s very common to see a yoga class being taught on every corner, they have also made some derivatives of it. So don’t be surprised if you see people teaching “Beer Yoga” (yes, it’s real) or Hot yoga.

2. The numeral, Zero

Although Babylonians used zero to signify the ‘absent’, Indians were the first to use the zero as a symbol and in arithmetic operations.

Let’s all agree on the fact that Indian food is probably the best food in the world. The reason behind it is obviously the spices.

4. Kama Sutra

The thing on which lots of Indian people frown upon, but western culture embraces. The Kama sutra has taught many people the art of love and intimacy, and no wonder it has made a huge impact worldwide.

5. Art

The Europe may have had its renaissance but Indian art has also made a huge contribution to the now modern European art. artists like Auguste Rodin and Vincent van Gogh were heavily influenced by Indian art, the result of which can be seen in some of their work.

6. The Fibonacci Pattern of numbers

This sequence was first described by Virahanka (c. 700 AD), Gopāla (c. 1135), and Hemachandra as an outgrowth of the earlier writings on Sanskrit prosody by Pingala.

7. Trigonometric functions

The trigonometric functions sine and versine originated in Indian astronomy. They were described in detail by Aryabhatta in the late 5th century, but were likely developed earlier in astronomical treatises of the 3rd or 4th century. Later, the 6th-century astronomer Varahamihira discovered a few basic trigonometric formulas and identities, such as sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1.
