History in making - China Just Overtook The US As The World's Largest Economy

[WAR-rior]

I wonder how they calculate those old numbers. Especially India as it was never a political entity. If Europe ever become one country, than do they combine the GDP of all European countries for historical references

Pre 1000 AD. India was ruled by one ruler for a good amount of tym. These are Indian Maps from Maurya Empire.

MAURYA EMPIRE (322 BC - 185 BC)

------------------------------------------------------
KUSHAN EMPIRE and SATVAHANA EMPIRE (100 BC - 300 AD) - (2 Empires in north n South for whole India)

---------------------------------------------------------------

GUPTA EMPIRE - GOLDEN AGE of India (320 - 600 AD)

------------------------------------------------------------------

If U notice, till the Muslim Sultanate and Mughal Empires, Whole India was divided under 2 Empires. North and South. Hence, both these Empire's economy made up for Indian Subcontinent's Economy.
