We are the reason for discovery of AMERICA. Columbus set to find a sea route to India, this why native americans are today called Red Indians. All the colonials power craved to find sea routes to rich lands of India in the 14th century. We have never bothered to invade and loot others to become rich, this why some many BARBARIC fellows came and looted the country at will.

Dear mr. Nagesh, the reason the Hindu kings did not travel to far off lands was because of the caste-system. It was believed that if a Hindu crossed the sea or the ocean he would lose his caste. That is why it was the Europeans who discovered far flung lands and not Indians. Simple case of superstition.

What you wrote is only half truth. There are several tamil/hindu kings who ruled Indonesia, Malaysia,Cambodia .Please check your facts. They have travelled by sea. India actively traded for several centuries with far off nations everything thru sea. DON'T BE TOO EAGER TO DEGRADE YOUR OWN HERIAGE
