Bakhshali

The village is notable for being the location of what is now known as the Bakhshali manuscript; this is an ancient mathematical work written on birch bark and is the oldest surviving document in South Asia of Indian mathematics.[3] It was discovered in 1881 during British rule by a tenant of Mian An-Wan-Udin, a police inspector; the manuscript was discovered while the tenant was digging in an abandoned building. [4] The village also lends its name to the Bakhshali approximation which is a method of finding an approximation to a square root that was described in the manuscript.
