Q.6. CASE BASED INTEGRATED QUESTIONS
India’s contacts with the World have continued through the ages but her relationships through the land routes
are much older than her maritime contacts. The various passes across the mountains in the north have
provided passages to the ancient travelers, while the oceans restricted such interaction for a long time.
These routes have contributed in the exchange of ideas and commodities since ancient time. The
ideas and the Upanishads and the Ramayana, the stories of Panchatantra, the Indian numerals and the decimal
system thus could reach many parts of the world. The spices, muslin and the other merchandise were taken
from India, to different countries. On the other hand, the influence of Greek sculpture, and the architectural
styles of dome and minarets from West Asia can be seen in different parts of our country.
(a) Which routes have contributed in the exchange of ideas and commodities since ancient times?
(b) How have the different land travelling routes helped in the growth of the world?
