From Time Immemorial , India or Bharath has been a source of Inspiration to Many Great Nations and Great Kingdoms ... There was a Time when Indianised Kingdoms extended from Maldives to the Indonesia encompassing Maldives, India ,Modern Day Pakistan , Afghanistan , Nepal , Bhutan ,parts of China , some parts of Azerbaijan Bangladesh , Myanmar , Thailand, Laos , Cambodia , Vietnam ,Philippines

It was whole of South Asia or South East Asia was influenced by India by sharing its culture , customs and traditions and to the fact we were ancient sea farers trading with the Mighty Greeks and Invincible Romans . It has been found out almost in 2 B.C we were trading with the powerful Romans via Red sea and the commodities were black pepper and incense sticks , At the ancient port which is located at Tunisia ( which belonged to Romans at that time ) they have found a letters in Tamil Brahmani script and yes , they have found a map which describes the route to India and which wind will help to reach India and which wind to avoid . The wealth of the romans were adjudged by the quantity of spices and incense they possessed and be live it or not 1000's of ships played to and forth India .

Hinduism spread to the whole of southeast ASIA .. some great empires were born out of the inspiration Namely the great Sriwijaya Empire( Indonesia and Malaysia) , Khmer Empire ( Encompassing Thailand , Laos , Vietnam and Cambodia ) ,Ayuthhya (Named after Ayodhya in India ) Thailand , Majapahit Empire(Indonesia) and our own Maurya's , Cholas ( who ruled till Indonesia ). The great Temples of Khmer has withstood the test of times to tell us what India gave the world , The names in Indonesia and Thailand still resonate the Great Hindu Kingdoms which put them on the world map namely the airport of Thailand is still called Swarnabhoomi and still the Name SRIWIJAYA commands respect with the people of Indonesia and Malaysia .Srilanka was ruled by us .The Jaffna Tamil library the largest in the world was destroyed , we lost so many scripts and Indians especially south Indians are still treated bad in Srilanka and few other south east Asian nations .
BodhiDharman:

Does Anybody Know that a Great Pallava Tamil Prince Called Bodhi Dharman taught Kung fu to Chinese and he had such rich knowledge in Medicine he wrote a whole book about diseases which will come to exist and which existed and also the cure for them , He was aware of each and every plants medicinal ability Apart from that He was a master in Kalari and especially in mesmerising " Noku varmam" , he can cover peoples mind and bend them for his wish and will. He was responsible for the Shoa lin Temple to be established in China . Chinese preserved his works but we have lost in India . Iam sure that Most of us wont we know that we Gave Chinese that Martial Art . The Irony is " Bodhi Dharman " was killed or rather poisoned by those same people who he taught everything .!!!.
His Knowledge still exists in China but we have lost it here!!
Osho Says that He BodhiDharma was the second Budhha , such revered he is in china , Japan and Thailand where for him you can see many Temples!

We played an important role in the ancient Silk route ! we were one of the richest Nations form time immemorial , Far Nations used as a model for nation building and culture building, they had deep respect for our tradition , culture and our Harmony . Nobody was poor , even a simple man had three type of drink to a stranger , no doors were locked , all were welcome !

Look at our Temples , Palaces and the monuments we built , they mesmerised by their sheer presence , they captured people's imagination , they were bestowed with the best of the best jewels the world had to offer , they commanded respect by their sheer grandeur .We didnt hear about poverty at that time , all we knew was love , camradrie , valour , Dignity , Respect to others and atlast bu not least to Have fine taste in everything we do .

we were spiritual and religious in the right way ,we gave umpteen religions to the wrold , Budhism , Jainism and spiritual Gurus like Adhi shankarar, Gauthama Budhha and countless numbers of Texts and verses like Vedas , Upanishads which taught how man to live life in the righteous way and the way to Dharma and spiritual emancipation . Who can forget the great epics Ramayana and Mahabharatha ., from which all the other Natiosn great epics were outlined.

But now the scenario is grave , where did we loose our roots ???? what happened to our richess ? what happened to our valour , vigour , Nation building, the respect we commanded , we are strewn with poverty , people are at logger heads to earn money , we have lost our dignity , our respect and now we are looking at other nations for help ??? what happened to our culture , tradition and customs ?? They are getting corroded day by day , the younger and the current generation are not fed or taught lessons of our past !!! The younger and current generation are not even aware that we had such a grand past filled with great legends and noble achievements .
When are we going to make them realise , we were the decision makers for important happenings across the world at one point of time , how are we going to bring back our glorious past?? where have the Temples gone? where do we search for those great leaders , spiritual gurus ??? How do we Inspire the current generation to achieve the ancient valour and past richness ...
Iam just Praying one day we would realise what we were and work towards achieving what we are !
