Indian knowledge was transmitted to the world at various times via trade routes and travellers. India had rich legacy of relations with Europe and other parts of the world has been age old. Due to distortion of History by Colonial powers and Missionaries these facts have been over looked and a spurious Aryan Invasion theory has been propagated. Dr. Raj Vedam, through his deep research unravels the truths that Indians must know as their History.
