Chinese description of ancient India

[Shaitan]

In another perspective, it's not a "pity". Had their been no British Raj there could have been an entity or identity called India being forged. Before that there were many many princedoms, nawab, khans rather than a single "India" just like China's "Spring and Autumn Period" and " Warring States Period".

We Chinese have been fed with such communist education like "colonization is evil" or "damaging indigenous cultures" but that's not all true.

There are geographical terms like India, Hindustan, etc before colonization but no political entity. Just a civilization.

Anyways

This was the empire Faxian traveled in. It was a very good period in Indian history.

Mogao Cave paintings look like they were influenced by Gupta styles a little bit.

Yes that was the only good thing about the Raj. It resulted in entire subcontinent uniting.
