How did Classical India influence the modern world?
Like China made the printing prompting more efficient ways to produce writing and their invention of gunpowder made the inventions of new weapons increase greatly.


<strong>India best answer:</strong>
<p><i>Answer by Mark</i><br/>India's impact on the modern world hasn't been that big. Especially when considering the population it has now and size of the country.
Indian food and receipies can now be found all over the world, herbs and spices which were traded from India, like cinnamon, via the arabs and then directly with Europeans when the Portuguese first landed in south asia.</p>

I love Indian advertising, but not for its subtleness or sophistication.

Yes, the &quot;Incredible India&quot; campaign is India's pre-eminent national campaign to woo tourists. But that is, to use the phrase, your &quot;inside voice&quot; not what you use in your marketing campaign and paste on a bus.

Tip to Indian tourism: your slogan is supposed to be for the tourists you are wooing. 1,00,000 things you could say about how great India is and this is what you chose? It just kills me! :)

(disclosure: I don't think this bus was run by anyone connected to the national-level Incredible India campaign, but just some small local operator who borrowed the slogan and targets local Indians not actually foreigners, but that is equally as funny in its associations)</p>
