| | A Tribute to Hinduism - Seafaring in Ancient India |
 | | This intricate and abiding web of relationships in turn contributed significantly to India’s sense of security in an extended neighborhood in which India is neither seen as an alien power nor as a country with a colonial past. | | | The close connection between the early civilization of Ninevah and Babylon and the West Coast of India is borne out by indisputable evidence and this was possible only through the navigation of the Arabian sea. | | | Communication by sea between the ports of south India and the islands of the Pacific was well established many centuries before the Christian era. |

| | A Tribute to Hinduism - War in Ancient India |
| | We may infer from these passages that the Asvins were a great commercial people having their home in a far-off island, and that their ruler Tugra maintained a fleet in the interests of his State. | | | The researches of a generation of scholars have proved that from very early times the people of India were distinguished by nautical skill and enterprise, that they went on trading voyages to distant shores across the seas, and even established settlements and colonies in numerous lands and islands. | | | South India carried on political and commercial activities as far as the Mediterranean in the early centuries of the Christian era and before. |

| | Naval Warfare in ancient India |
| | Tacitus refers to "some Indians who sailing from India for the purpose of commerce had been driven by storm into Germany." Euxodus speaks of the famished Hindu sailor who piloted the Greeks across the Arabian sea to the Malabar coast. | | | C. Raychaudhuri in his 'Political History of Ancient India' does the same. | | | The conquest of an island situated far into the sea could only have been effected with the help of a fleet of ships. |

| | Ancient India's Contribution to Science and Technology |
| | This book gives enough convincing material for a student of Indian culture to believe that India has not always been a nation dependent on other nations, has not always been ruled by aliens, and has not always borrowed everything from foreign sources. | | | The advances made by Indians in ancient times have been noted and praised by these foreign travellers. | | | This spirit has also prevailed in many other parts of the world where the right thinking of humankind has prevailed. |
