one of the most-cited fragments of Megasthenes' Indica his account of Mauryan India, written around 302 BC when he was a Greek ambassador at Chandragupta Maurya's court). It survives because later writers like Strabo, Arrian, Diodorus, and Pliny quoted himOn honesty and lawIn the 400,000-strong military camp, reported thefts on any given day never exceeded 200 drachmas in value — remarkable for a society with no written law code. Journals-timesIndians had no lawsuits over pledges or deposits, requiring neither seals nor witnesses — they simply trusted one another. On freedom and slaveryHe noted that all Indians were free, and not a single one was a slave. On peace and sovereigntyHe observed that Indians neither invaded other peoples nor were invaded by them. On appearance and lifestyleDespite their underlying simplicity, Indians loved finery — wearing gold-embroidered robes, precious stones, and flowered muslin, with attendants sometimes holding umbrellas over them to preserve their look. He attributed Indians' above-average height to abundant food, fine water, and pure air, and praised their skill in the arts. On governance and societyHe described a king who maintained a large standing army while ensuring the welfare of subjects, with officials overseeing markets, trade, and irrigation. Ancient IndiansEven during wartime, farmers were left unharmed by opposing armies, so agriculture continued uninterrupted — a detail often highlighted as remarkably civilized for the era. On philosophersHe wrote of ascetic philosophers called the Sarmanes who lived simply, often in forests, and were sought out by kings for counsel.
so what the fuck happened?

>>5419005282,000+ years of invasions and race mixing that eradicated the Aryan blood of India's inhabitants and gave rise to the world's (literally) shittiest culture. India has been in a dark age (dung age) for over a thousand years, where at best some Muslim rulers were better than others and built some cities full of rich merchants that Whites and Chinamen often visited to buy fabric and spices. No Hindu ruler since Islam ever came close to accomplishing even that, in fact Hindus became even worse than Muslims because their rulers were violent warlords who had to prove their caste to other Indians, and that's where common Indian practices like izzat and brutalizing and scamming each other came from.
>>541900734Muslims are cancer cells,Islam is metastasising, the cancer cells are moving to the brain(the west) now
>>541900869>I just cut down all apple trees, I have timber and so many apples now, I'm productive.Mohammad You do not create anything, you don't have a one functional sharia country not dependent on kafir money(oil, jizya or tourism). You are parasitic cancer cells.

>>541901338>Where's your other cheek? let me slap that
>>541901800I guess I have to spell it out because you're an Indian who has very limited mental faculties. housing, feeding, treating, amusing, training...400K troops is absolutely, straight up impossible for the time.It's too costly in a period where nobody save legendary, made up rulers had standing armies. That development came very gradually. Campaigning warriors don't contribute anything to society and by placing them abroad or in "camps" , they can't play their role as aristocratic administrators. But they have to be both fed and amused. Even if you could do it in the short term, the hygiene alone is a factor preventing you from scaling troops to far up. India with its legendary tendency for filth + the climate would wreck even a small army camp, meaning a couple of thousand guys.But ultimately, the logistics are impossible to tackle which is why armies managed to break into the 100s of thousands in the 17th century, supported by all kinds of technological progress. A primitive nation, even a large one wouldn't be able to put it off as every step on the way something would have to be invented first.Housing is the smallest problem but even here the mere idea of 400k warriors side by side is eye rolling. Do you know of a modern camp with half a million soldiers?
>>541900528The castle system changed from ability to birth. Brahmin used to be highly intelligent people who proved themselves. Picture a world where the most intelligent were given the privileges they deserved, and the idiots/criminals were forced to disgusting work rather than given welfare.
>>541903781lol no it says COLOR in the name.Aryans drove forcefully into India, slayed browns and took the best looking women as wives.Trouble is, India overwhelmed the White conquerers demographically. Hard DNA evidence tells the story.
>>541900528>>541900617The MI6 forced the Indians to shit in the street and rape children o algo
>>541902991Retarded zoorian rapefugee 400 000 means 40 000 here.
>>541900464>He attributed Indians' above-average height to abundant food, fine water, and pure airSo this fragment obviously refers to somewhere other than modern India and there has been a mixup of names since.Note there is also a West Indies in the Carribean and an East Indies in Indonesia and Malaya. So really this is not a fixed location. Probably refers to England or Atlantis and is a mistranlation.
>>541900464Maurya India was pretty great. Ashoka the Great spread the enlightenment of Buddhism instead of superstitious Hinduism.
>>541900464The fate of India is the fate of the world, when bloodlines with dysfunctional traits outnumber everything else
