What are Indian numerals?

Indian numerals are a system of numerals used in the Indian subcontinent, which includes countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. These numerals are also known as Hindu-Arabic numerals or Indo-Arabic numerals. The Indian numeral system is a decimal system, meaning it is based on the number 10. It uses ten symbols or digits (0-9) to represent numbers and follows a place-value system, where the value of a digit depends on its position in the number. Indian numerals are widely used in everyday life, commerce, and mathematics in the Indian subcontinent and have also been adopted globally as the standard numeral system.
