  Indian logic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rig-Veda (10.129), during the 2nd millenium BCE, suggests the beginnings of the representation of reality in terms of various logical divisions that were later represented formally as the four circles of catuskoti: "A", "not A", "A and not A", and "not A and not not A".
The Mahabharata (12.173.45), around the 5th century BCE, refers to the anviksiki and tarka schools of logic.
Vaisheshika espouses a form of atomism and postulates that all objects in the physical universe are reducible to a finite number of atoms.

 Manetho - Crystalinks
Although no sources for the dates of his life and death remain, his work is usually associated with the reigns of Ptolemy I Soter (323-283 BCE) and Ptolemy II Philadelphos (285-246 BCE).
If the mention of Manetho in the Hibeh Papyri, dated to 240/1 BCE, is in fact Manetho the author of Aegyptiaca, then he may well have been working during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes (246-222 BCE) as well.
A statue of the god was imported between 286-278 BCE by Ptolemy (either Soter or Philadelphos), where Timotheus of Athens (an authority on Demeter at Eleusis) and Manetho oversaw the project.

 History of Writing and the Great Religions
In any case, in 283 BCE, the royal library of Alexandria Egypt was founded (shortly after the death of Alexander the Great), the first attempt at a ``universal library.'' It began collecting books in Greek, Egyptian, Hebrew, Aramaic, Persian, Latin and even some Buddhist literature from India, presumably in Sanskrit.
Thus, practical writing (and reading) methods were probably widespread among the Chinese noble class by about 800 BCE and in the Middle East and Southern Asia by about 200 BCE.
So none of the great Indian religious texts (Vedas or sutras) were likely written down until AFTER 200 BCE, although the Vedas were composed around 1500-1000 BCE, the Baghavad Gita about 400 BCE, Panini's grammar of Sanskrit, 400 BCE and the early Buddhist sutras about 400 BCE.
