THREAD🧵: Dismissing any argument discrediting the Muslim contribution to the field of Alzebra.
#Claim_1: The credit of Alzebra is falsely given to Al Khawarizmi since he plagiarised the work from Hindu accounts.
#Reply: The attached snippet mentions no such thing about his Kitab al-jabr wa'l Muqabala which is his work on Alzebra. How can she accuse him of plagiarism?
#Claim_2: Mathematics reached Baghdad through Indian scholars & Caliph Al Mansur commissioned Al Khawarizmi to copy their knowledge.
#Reply: No, Al-Beruni said no such thing, you are lying by posting the PREFACE of translation. @SagasofBharat, you lost your credibility here. 👎
#Claim_3: Hindus introduced Alzebra to the world.
#Reply: Any field of science or mathematics wasn't developed single handedly by any community.
Babylonians/Iraqis (all of whom are Muslims) introduced Alzebra since they used it first.
(Babylonian Tablet dated 1900 BC.)
#Claim_3: Caliph encouraged Khawarizmi to write on a popular work on algebra which implies the other treatises on Alzebra were already extant.
#Reply: Of course, others were extant but why did you assume they were Indian ones? For ex, there was the work of Abd al-Hamid Ibn Wasi.
#Claim_4: Khawarizmi plagiarised from Hindu works rather than Greek ones.
#Reply: The very fact that Khawarizmi likes the Greeks didn't indulge in negative numbers shows debunks it.
While the lady has shown us the ‘opinions’ of some translators or polymaths, we are here presenting the real physical evidence.
The reality is Al Khawarizmi is a small boy compared to other Muslim mathematicians of the same field. Let us read about their contributions.
In reality, Musa al-Khawarizmi was not even influenced by Greek mathematicians. Instead, he chose the way of his Mesopotamian elders.
This ‘Al-Jabr’ was no monopoly of Khawarizmi, instead other Muslim mathematicians expanded his work and even surpassed him.

(2) Abu Bakr Al Karaji
(3) Al Samaw'al
(4) Al Khayyami
(5) Sharaf Al-Din Al-Tusi

At last, my intentions are not to undermine the contribution of India in science and mathematics.
It's an undeniable fact that India was a leading centre of education (still is and was under Indo-Islamic rule). But what is this habit of appropriating everything?
In conclusion, this:
