unindent as steve points out the notion that greek astronomy influenced indian astronomy is well established this is moreover backed by a plethora of sources only hindu nationalist chauvinists contest this that the idea of a spherical source arrived to india from greece is not ridiculous it is well sourced to the most reliable of sources pingree david astronomy and astrology in india and iran isis vol no jun pp what's ridiculous are your empty original research denials as for the fact that yavanajataka specifically means sayings of the greeks again that is reliably sourced david pingree jyoti stra jan gonda ed a history of indian literature vol vi fasc otto harrassowitz wiesbaden and as for the yavanesvera that too is a alexandrian greek text that was introduced into india and that too is sourced and please don't use crap like this it only serves to undermine your credibility further now i am going to reintroduce into the lead that indian astronomy was influenced by greek astronomy and i expect you to abide by that
