Pliny the Elder lived in the 1st century CE. Kautilya and Arthashastra are dated to the 3rd century BCE. How can Mr Orivelle say that they were writing around the same time? 🧐
Selective snapshots of an ever changing landscape misses the mark. Perhaps a study of patterns and connected insights might be more interesting. Another idea could be to explore the changing landscape over millennia
High time india and Indians stopped harping on how great was india in antiquity etc. Today's india sucks and however much we scream about those glorious days is gonna change the present pitiful condition. Please start from 1947 onwards. That is the relevant india and not onecwhere Rama reputedly shot a deer or the war were cousins slaughtered each other. Let us talk about Adanis, Ambanis who put the new india on the world map.
There was no country called India prior to arrival of East India Company. In 1947, little more than 50% of today's India was British India and remaining were 565 independent kingdoms. Prior to Mughals and British, India consisted of several kingdoms and it was not one nation. So it is wrong to pass of today's India as one nation prior to Mughal and British rule.
@@Jun_kid Bharat was the name of an ancient tribe in Haryana and not the name of a nation or civilization. Yes, there was a common civilization stretching from Afghanistan to Vietnam and Indonesia which finds no mention in any history book.
The name India is a Greek name of the region around Sindhu/Indus river which we call Pakistan today. Route to India was discovered by Vasco Da Gama only in the 15th century. Rome was trading with which country called India as no such country then existed in South Asia which today we call India?
Nonsense, trade used to happen with Egyptians 4000-5000 years ago. Corinth ( Greece ) was the gateway between India and Europe ( Mainly Rome and surrounding empires ) People who colonised Corinth were Indo Aryans and had their roots in IVC ( Saurashtra and Kutchh ) Besides, it was Gujarati who helped vasco di Gama navigating route to India. I mean all this should be obvious considering so much similarities between Indo-European languages, indicating their shared common history....
@@kalpeshkumarpatel380 are you joking or are you serious?? Greeks are Gujaratis??? 😆 🤣 😂 Gujaratis helped Vasco Da Gama navigate to India?? Where is Greece and where is Gujarat?? What is similar between Gujaratis and Greeks??
Why don’t you Pakistanis stop with your half baked ill informed nonsense ? While Herodotus in the 5th century BC was not much aware of India beyond the Sindhu river, by 300 BC the Greeks became well aware of the great size of India and its dimensions are even given by Megasthenes. From then on, India meant all of the Indian subcontinent for the western people and in many cases they even considered the southeast Asian kingdoms as part of India. Please be better informed before you try to revise our history.
European union came to existence only recently. So, can we say that anything European is fake until the day EU was formed? Did you hear about name 'Bhaaratha' ?
thank you for posting this.
Very interesting topic. Thank you.
Good overview

@@TheEscapis true, long back there was no Sun and no Earth.
