Comprehension Passage # 7 ( Ancient India)

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow : 🇮🇳

Ancient India is supposed to be the most advanced civilization ever. In many ways, the modern world owes much to ancient India.  One day while reading a magazine, I came across many reasons for which the world honours India. India made remarkable contributions in the field of mathematics. India invented the decimal system. Aryabhata  invented 'zero'. The decimal system was developed in India In 100 BC. A world famous University was established at Takshila (now in Pakistan) in 700 B.C. More than 10,500 students from all over the world studied more than 60 subjects. In the field of languages also India excelled. The ancient Sanskrit language is considered as the mother of many other languages. According to  Forbes Magazine, Sanskrit is the most suitable language for computer software. As far as medical science is concerned , Ayurveda is the earliest known school of medicine for humans. Charaka, the father of medicine, consolidated Ayurveda 2500 years ago. Sushruta is remembered as the father of surgery. Another reason to feel proud to be Indian is that, the art of navigation was born in the river Sandhu 6000 years ago and the word navigation is derived from the Sanskrit word 'Navgaith'. All these facts really make Indians proud of their nation and cultural heritage.
