A fact from Jyotisha appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 9 April 2016 ( check views). The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that Jyotisha was an ancient Vedic study of time keeping and astronomy, that later adopted astrology ideas and the zodiac from the Greeks? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2016/April. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Jyotisha.

intro

The term Jyotisha also refers to Hindu astrology, a field that likely developed in the centuries after the arrival of Greek astrology with Alexander the Great,[4][5][6] their zodiac signs being nearly identical.[2]

subsequent information

According to David Pingree, the field of timekeeping in Jyotisha may have been "derived from Mesopotamia during the Achaemenid period",[8] but Yukio Ohashi considers this proposal as "definitely wrong".[9] Ohashi states that this Vedanga field developed from actual astronomical studies in ancient India.

i think that such disputed contested assertions in reference to alexander's arrival and greek influence or mesopotamian influence in reference to persian arrival shouldn't be made in the intro, regards 175.137.72.188 ( talk) 09:10, 16 February 2019 (UTC) reply
