ya it had so much of history since before from british people came and ruled india......

India has always been a peace-loving nation and it will continue to be so for ever.
Jai Bharat Mata

India is not only peaceful country but also does not wish other countrx to live peacefully. We indians are not thats much hard that we invade any country. Isn't it?

Maharaja Ranjit Singh invaded Afghanistan. Burma had also been invaded by India. Before British empire, there were many princely states and there was not one India. All these were aggressive. They fought against each other. Each princely state was an independent country. The Border kingdoms like Mahraja Ranjit Singh of Punjab invaded others. I hope 10000 years also includes Ramayana and Mahabharata epics. Rama invaded Lanka.

I did not clearly understand what you meant! We do not wish others to live peacefully???

Gulshan you are right, 10000 years does include Ramayana and Mahabharata! but the reason these invasions occurred were due to political reasons and to end strife and not solely to conquer and rule as in the case of British Empire!

As there was no one India as a political unit before Britishers came to India, it is no use saying that India did not attack any other country. In fact each princely state was a distinct political unit and these fought against each other. The princely states at border of the Present India would definitely have fought against their neighbor whether in Present day India or not. There was no clear cut boundary demarcating India from other present day countries. The British also entered India as traders. They were allowed some force for security. But soon they got opportunity to rule owing to internal disunity.

Generally there are economic or commercial reasons behind invading other countries. U.S.A. has interests in oil reserves in middle east. There is a proverb: Flag follows trade.

India has no need of it and India's culture is not like that.

its a good sign.. hope other countries also follow us to ensure a peaceful world...
