Weights and measuring The Harappan and the succeeding cultures of ancient times are credited with inventing many of the common things we use today, especially in the system of measuring like the ruler and the weights. In the 1930s, fifty-eight cubed weights were discovered at Chanhudaro, an archeological site of the Indus Valley civilization which can be located in modern- day Pakistan.

Chess This ancient Indian invention of chess was much different from the modern day version. It had 64 squares and was played by four people instead of two. Each player had eight pieces: four pawns, king, bishop, knight, and rook. Alternatively, in place of a six-faced dice, an oblong one was used. In addition, the players facing each other were allied and two teams were formed based on the opposing directions of their seating positions.

Yoga In the ancient indian texts \"Kathaka Upanisad\" and \"Nachiketa\", the youngest brother of Pandavas, is made privy to the three foundations of yoga which are: -the importance and physiology of the human body -the connection of the individual to the Supreme being -The components of the mind and body. Between 300 BCE-400 CE, the Yogic theory had been immortalized into some core principles that influence our understanding of the concept in this day and age. It employed all forms of human philosophy. Yoga is still used to this day, both religiously and to improve the mind and flexibility

There are many records of the exchange of mathematical ideas between the Greece and Ancient India. Even though Greece is credited for contributing some opinions on the concept of zero, the world of Math was revolutionized by Aryabhata in 500 CE.
