DESCRIPTION:Described by the Indian scholar and Sanskritist P. V. Kane
  as “a problem not satisfactorily solved,” the introduction of a n
 ew form of astral science in India during the early centuries of the f
 irst millennium C.E. which resembles its Greco-Babylonian counterpart 
 has been a heated topic in Indian historiography and history of scienc
 e between Indian and Western scholars. Subsequent to the meticulous co
 mparative analysis of David Pingree and his 1978 publication of a crit
 ical edition of the Yavanajātaka (“Genethliacal astrology of the Gr
 eeks”) dated to the second century C.E.\, a great number of question
 s concerning the origin and evolution of Greco-Indian astral science w
 ere clarified. However\, with the recent discovery of new manuscripts 
 and other materials\, the issues appear to be far from being settled a
 nd some of Pingree’s widely accepted assertions now require serious 
 reconsideration.
