Recorded sources
6 sources for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Arabic numerals originated in India?

Yes. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources state that the numerals known as Arabic numerals originated in India, with the system transmitted to the Arabs and later to Europe. A couple of sources note scholarly uncertainty about the very earliest glyph forms, but the standard account of Indian origin is well supported.
