Why Indian History is neglected?

Well, there's also the aspect that people seem to make a distinction between the Roman civilization and a successor state such as France, but they don't bother making such a distinction between the Zhou state and modern China, or between the Maurya Empire and modern India. This is done even though the differences between Zhou and Qing China are as great or even greater than those between Rome and France, or Maurya and modern India. In short, assuming that India and China have a continuing civilization while Europe does not, is probably a matter of ignoring too much the different stages of the evolution of the development of the Chinese and Indian civilizations, while focusing too much on separating the different stages of European civilization. The same goes for other countries such as Iran, Peru or Mexico, which have had a long history of evolving civilization. I would actually argue that saying that India and China have had an uninterrupted civilization as opposed to Europe or Iran is actually quite an ignorant statement to make.

Why you say like that?

By single stroke, you say we are wasting time?

In fact, by participating in the SEA forum, the response has not been proper.

By ignoring or just keeping quite might be the complex exhibited towards "South India" and "South Indians".

You point out, which is not fact, scientific or historical.

As for the statement of Decebal, "I would actually argue that saying that India and China have had an uninterrupted civilization as opposed to Europe or Iran is actually quite an ignorant statement to make", I note that you people always make such provoking statements. I do not know, how, one can pass such remarks.

The reason for the neglect of the history of India is quite simple. It was too far east and too self contained for the Greco-Roman and christian civlizations which are the cradle of Western Civilization which has been the dominant civilization for at least a three centuries. So whatever civilizations are not central to their civiliations are ignored. They would have you believe that aside from Ancient Egypt there hasn't been a civilization in Africa.      

actually the history of indus valley is not neglected, but that is not indian history.
