Why do Indians believe that India never invaded other countries? Didn’t Ashoka, Maurya and others actually have kingdoms upto Afghanistan and beyond?
https://qph2.c7.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-38573ded687844a2b2212b1330d4a298
By Sunil Kumar Yes, you are partially correct. However, Afghanistan in ancient times was part of the Indic sphere of influence and were technically in the Indian subcontinent. If you launch into an analogy of comparison with the new-fangled Western …

पुतीन हे साधारण २०१२ पासून रशियाचे राष्ट्राध्यक्ष आहेत. कोणत्या कारणांमुळे ते एवढे यशस्वी नेता म्हणून कार्यांगत आहेत?
https://qph2.c7.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-f8fb6bc028e013613aad820586c032f9
By Sunil Kumar मला वाटते की रशियाचा इतिहास सोव्हिएत युनियनचा ब्रेक झाल्यानंतर आणि व्लादिमीर पुतिनबद्दल थोडी थोडी माहिती आहे. जागतिक पातळीवरील रशिया मुख्यत्वे त्याच्या आकारामुळे आणि साम्यवादांचे जागतिक प्रचारामुळे फार महत्वाचे आहे. गोर्बाचेव्ह आणि सोव्हिएत युनियनचे विघटन झाल्यानंतर रशियाला काही …

Isn’t it odd that the “Statue of Unity” has been given an English title when names like “Broach”, “Bombay”, “Baroda”, “Calcutta” and others have been removed to pacify nationalists?
https://qph2.c7.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-e2191b98a74b033cfab7b673f14d8a83
By Sunil Kumar This is a non-issue and descriptive of the trivial time-wasting frivolity modern Indians indulge in. What else could the government have named the statue in English? Before you label me as subscribing to a particular ideology, kindly …
