I’ve read in one of the Puranas about “beautiful Sindh horses”, Sindh signifying an area of India which is now Pakistan. The Puranas are immeasurably ancient.
And I have dozens of books in my house right now with Sanskrit numerals which are the origin of “arabic” numerals. They are also extremely similar to Bengali and Hindi numerals, as those languages are more or less Sanksrit derived.

Devanagari numerals are Sanskrit and the most ancient; the ones in the link are not extremely well written but more or less okay, give the general form.
I was in an elementary school last weekend. Saw a chart of numbers 1 to 10 and the words written in English, Italian, and Hindi. Some years ago I learned counting in Farsi (Persian/Iranian). I was surprised to see that the Hindi words were almost identical, and also bore some similarity to a few of either the English or Italian words.
