what a shame to rediff to publish such an article having not mentioned even about one single ruler from the great subcontinent.
it seems that someone like rediff are trying to rewrite the history. does it mean that there were no maurya's, cholas, cheras, pandiyas, pallavas, moghuls or satvahanas & etc...in india it was in their reign that the world has got real civilisation some centuries of millenium before. have u forgot about nalanda and taksila & etc... etc... its a real shame for rediff. take a chance to change yourself very soon
