Answers
Answer:
many of the indian manuscripts and Indian books are found in different parts of the world. We have also found seals which were used by ancient Indus valley civilization in other countries. The spread of knowledge or those revolutionary movements(renaissance) were because of Indian books . So several proofs prove that India had trade relations with other countries
Answer:
India's contacts with the world have continued through ages but her relationship through the land routes of India are much older than the sea routes.
Various passes across mountains in the North have provided passages to ancient travelers as ocean limited such interaction for a long time. The land routes help India in the exchange of ideas and commodities since ancient times.
India has contributed a lot to the world in forms of ideas, philosophies (Upanishads, Ramayana, Panchtantra) and mathematics (Indian numerals and decimal system) as well as given spices, muslin and other merchandise to different countries.
In exchange, India’s architecture was influenced by Greek sculpture and architectural styles from West Asia, for example the styles of dome and minarets from West Asia can be seen in different parts of India.
Thus, we can say that India had close links with other parts of the world. Hope it helps you.
