Golden Age of India
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The period between 350 and 550 CE is known as the Golden Age of India because of the large achievements Indians made in the fields of mathematics, astronomy, science, religion and philosophy. The decimal numeral system, including the concept of zero, was invented in India during this period. The peace and prosperity created under leadership of Guptas enabled the pursuit of scientific and artistic endeavors in India. The Golden Age in India came to an end when the barbaric Hunas invaded and captured most of northern India in 500 CE.
