obvious contradiction in intro and subsequent information

[edit]

intro

The term Jyotisha also refers to Hindu astrology, a field that likely developed in the centuries after the arrival of Greek astrology with Alexander the Great,[4][5][6] their zodiac signs being nearly identical.[2]

subsequent information

According to David Pingree, the field of timekeeping in Jyotisha may have been "derived from Mesopotamia during the Achaemenid period",[8] but Yukio Ohashi considers this proposal as "definitely wrong".[9] Ohashi states that this Vedanga field developed from actual astronomical studies in ancient India.

i think that such disputed contested assertions in reference to alexander's arrival and greek influence or mesopotamian influence in reference to persian arrival shouldn't be made in the intro, regards 175.137.72.188 (talk) 09:10, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
