Answer:

Hindus from India invented zero to represent the idea of the power of the cosmos and universe as they expand into infinity. They called this the sunya which means empty in Sanskrit. The book Brahma Sphuta Siddhanta was published in c. 628 by Brahmagupta which defines zero as the subtraction of a number by itself, e.g. 5-5 =0.
