We all know that the numbers from 0-9 are called arabian numbers , and we don't use them ! i didn't give it much thought until a guy from germany visited our company and was surprised that we don't use them but instead we use other strange numbers ( the indian numbers ) , when i started thinking about it , indian people never invaded us or anything , and even though how come we stopped using arabian numbers and the whole world is using them now ?!!!
I'm talking history wise , how did it happen ?

The use of Arabic numbers isn't completely extinct among Arabs, I use Arabic numbers when writing down the scores for a Tarneed or Trix game, I was raised well Hehehe =D
think the numbers came with the rice, because they eat rice all the time in India!! or maybe it it came with the Indians movies in the 1970's, you know those movies where it turns out that the good guy and the bad guy are actually brothers. Ok I have to be honest I do not know the answer but I like Indian movies (smiley face)
