It's sad that how Bharati hijack any history thread related to land of Indus claiming it's theirs. No you have your holy Ganga Jumna valley, dig its history instead of stealing history of Sindhi, Punjabi, Baloch, Pashtuns, Sareki, Gilgati, Hazara, Hindko, Chitrali, Kailash etc who are owner of these lands for thousands of years.
Acknowledging that people whose ancestors didn't drink alcohol regularly can't handle as much alcohol as those whose ancestors did is considered racism now though…
This history occurred in modern day Pakistan not india i dont know why its reffered to as india thats incorrect. Most theses empires were based in what is modern day Pakistan.
Lol either your map is wrong or your info as Sakas never advanced beyond westen India so Ujjain which is visibly an eastern indian city was never under Sakas.
Sri Lanka which is on the southern tip of India was providing Ivory, Elephants, Gems & many more exotic goods. I believe the trade was done through Indian intermediaries who spread a rumor that Sri Lanka was inhabited by a deadly clan who were evil. On the contrary the indigenous clans were rather literate & sophisticated , prosperous nations. They even had an emissary in the Roman royal court. History has largely focused on the popular segments ignoring certain areas though !!!
Deleted for being a foolish question the more I look at & think about it !
The Mediterranean route was an insurmountable mount & a vast chasm for any European power to ever take the Mediterranean Sea to the coast without the sues canal …

3:41 This king Gondopherres or Vindhya Parna was the first Indian king who got converted to Christianity by Saint Thomas in 1 century CE.
It seems like the Romans are great friends and trading partners at a distance. In close proximity, they tend to fuck you up and take your stuff.
