India’s Contacts with the World
India’s contacts with the world have continued through the ages, but its relationships through the land routes are much older than its maritime contacts. The various passes across the mountains in the North have provided passages to the ancient travellers, while the oceans restricted such interaction.
The following instances states that these routes have contributed to the exchange of ideas and commodities between India and the rest of the world from ancient times.
The ideas of the Upanishads and the Ramayana, the stories of the Panchtantra, Indian numerals and decimal system have reached many parts of the world. Spices, muslin and other merchandise were taken from India to different countries. The influence of Greek sculpture and the architectural style of domes and minarets from West Asia can be seen in many parts of India. Before 1947, there were two types of States in India - the “Provinces and the Princely States”
Provinces were rules directly by the British officials, who were appointed by the Viceroy. Princely States were ruled by local, hereditary rulers, who acknowledged sovereignty in return for local autonomy.
