write the length of uttarapath and dakshina path in india?
Answers
The Uttarapath and the Dakshinapath routes were like a colourful thread connecting different parts of the subcontinent to each other.
These trade routes were the pulsating veins of the body politic which rendered it alive and vibrant and communicating within itself.
Millennia ago, when there were no means of rapid communication, how did people, ideas and goods move? In this vast land of Jambudwipa, how did the pearls of the Pandyas and the cotton of Madurai become bywords in Pataliputra? How did the teachings of Prince Siddhartha of the Sakas reach Manimekalai, the beautiful daughter of Kovalan and Madhavi in Kaveripattinam?

Explanation:
Dakshinapatha is a historical region including:
the "Ancient South of the Indian subcontinent" below Uttarapatha. The term can encompass Dravida, Simhala, the Kollam region, and the Maldives.In the south region
the "great southern highway" in India, traveling from Magadha to Pratishthana,[1] or
a kingdom on the Godavari River in southern India[2][3]
The Dakshinapatha trade route was one of two great highways that have connected different parts of the sub-continent since the Iron Age. The other highway was the Uttarapatha or the great northern road that ran from Taxila in Pakisthan, through the modern Punjab up to the western coast of Yamuna. Following the course of Yamuna it went southwards up to Mathura, from there it passed on to Ujjain in Malwa and to Broach on western coast. According to "Land of the Seven Rivers: A Brief History of India's Geography" by Sanjeev Sanyal, the trajectory of the northern road has remained roughly the same from pre-Mauryan times and is now NH2.[citation needed] However, the southern road appears to have drifted. Rama's route into exile in the epic may have been an early version of the road, but by the time of Buddha it started at Varanasi and ran through Vidisha in central India, to Pratishthana (Paithan).[citation needed] It probably extended all the way to Chola, Chera and Pandya kingdoms of the extreme south. By the Mauryan period there would have been a branch from Ujjain to the ports of Gujarat. This made Ujjain a major city by Gupta times. Today Dakshinapatha is known as NH7, which runs much further east of the old road but still meets NH2 at
Ancient Buddhist and Hindu texts use Uttarapatha as the name of the Northern part of Jambudvipa, one of the "continents" in Hindu history. In modern times, the Sanskrit word uttarapatha is sometimes used to denote the geographical regions of North India, Western India, Central India, Eastern India, Northeast India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal in just one term. The pronunciation of the word varies depending on the regional language of the speaker.
