You are making guess, Herodotus mentioned India as the land of Indian people.
And Africa as the land of African people.

Here is what Heroditus said about Indians
In classical antiquity, Africa (or Libya) referred to what is now known as Northwest Africa (excluding Egypt). Geographical knowledge did not extend south of the Sahara, and the only parts of "black Africa" known to the ancient Greeks were East Africa including the Horn of Africa. Αἰθίοψ (Aithiops), meaning "burnt-face", was used as the term for black African since the time of Homer[4] and was applied to such black populations as came within the range of observation of the ancient geographers, i.e. primarily of the population of what is now northern Sudan (Nubia), and with the expansion of geographical knowledge successively extended to other parts of Sub-Saharan Africa. In his description of India, Herodotus (3.101) notes as a common feature of its inhabitants that "they have also all the same tint of skin, which approaches that of the Ethiopians".
I saw some Idiots in this thread that Indian is not a country before 1947.India as a Hindu civilization existed for last 8000 years and it will remain as a country or civilization in future.Boundary location might be change due to regular invasion .But we dont care about past ,we only care about present and future.
All Indians in this PDF must not respond chinese and pakistani trolls.We dont need predictions ,we must avoid following the western predictions.We Indians work for our country.Economy and achievements will come after that as an outcome.
Trollers can do what they want .Stay on the topic.Now India is a country and reality it will remain as in future.We work for prosperity and we will win.
He referred Africa word only to North-West Africa.
True. But Africa was not a country, but a geographical area. India was a geographical area consists of many kings and kingdoms, as encountered by Alexander.
Can you share with me the basics of Indian historiography? If India was a country, did the Gupta's regard its empire as the successor of Maurya empire? And then the Mughal empire a successor of Gupta empire?
And Dickheads will never understand that CIVILIZATION is irrespective of Country or empire. Madrassa Education. (By the way there is nothing called Hindu Mandir Schools). . DickheadHahaha another retarded baniya who need to learn definitiom of country and empire. Lol
North West Africa was the common land of Berber people, he gave common term for a common tribe.
India was called Bharat varsha since the antiquity.

A united China didn't exist before 1950.Europe was called Europe since ancient time. And China was called the middle plain or middle kingdom with since ancient time. But the nation of China was only created at 221BC, when Qin dynasty united the whole China and created mandate of heaven. Prior to 221BC, China was a geographical expression with many empires, kings and princes, much like India was before British unification of India. After the Qin dynasty, the successive dynasties there after seek to hold the mandate of heaven and legitimize their rule. China after that become a country as all the aspiring leader would regard itself as the legitimate leader of the one China and all other leaders in rebellion during the time of dynastic change.
The watershed moment when India transform from a geographical express to a country was during British India. When the conscious of an Indian nation was created.
Indian civilization did existed for a long time. But Indian nation existed since 1947.
No buddy. INDIA existed since 1947. Indian nation (If you understand that words have certian meanings) existed since its people existed.Europe was called Europe since ancient time. And China was called the middle plain or middle kingdom with since ancient time. But the nation of China was only created at 221BC, when Qin dynasty united the whole China and created mandate of heaven. Prior to 221BC, China was a geographical expression with many empires, kings and princes, much like India was before British unification of India.

Indian civilization di d existed for a long time. But Indian nation existed since 1947.
They are not yet united. Taiwan and Mainland both claim themselves to be China. How can a single country is ruled by two different governmentsA united China didn't exist before 1950.
rebuked numerous times? In your dream that India was ever a nation before British created India. You need to stop saying stuff like rebuked numerous times by talking about all those empires exited in Indian subcontinent that is not connected to one another. The fact is that I had proven that India was not a nation until British created it gazillion times but you refuse to see the truth.
That the real pakistani spirit.'Live In Denial'.We dont f*** care what you think about it.Hahaha another retarded baniya who need to learn definitiom of country and empire. Lol
