Q. Consider the following statements: - Alexander's campaign was documented solely by Indian sources.
- Chandragupta Maurya is identified with Sandrocottas in Greek accounts.
Which of the above statements is / are correct?
Answer:
Only 2
Notes: - Alexander's campaign was not documented solely by Indian sources. The primary accounts of Alexander's campaign in India come from Greek and Roman sources, while no Indian sources mention it, making the first statement incorrect.
- Chandragupta Maurya is identified with Sandrocottas in Greek accounts. Historians have established a chronological connection to Indian history by matching Sandrocottas or Androcottas in Greek texts with Chandragupta Maurya. This makes the second statement correct.
