Hi,
You are right.ofcourse Zero was invented by india.
But i referred a site and i am giving a bit of info abt it.

<DT id=A0902781><DT><DT>Zero: <DD>India c. 600
zero, that number which, when added to any number, leaves the latter unchanged; its symbol is 0. The introduction of zero into the decimal system was the most significant achievement in the development of a number system in which calculation with large numbers was feasible

Its existence in the West is probably due to the Arabs, who, having obtained it from the Hindus, passed it on to European mathematicians in the latter part of the Middle Ages. The Maya of Central America and probably the Babylonians also invented zero.

Still needed information refer the site
