Surely the British arrived in India well after 0 AD. Not sure how an empire that disolved long before then would matter to what the British saw when they first reached India.

I'm just citing one example from the many. India as an entity has been dissolved and established multiples times in the history. British came at the weak period of India, essentially during a long civil war that was going on across the whole subcontinent.

"India as an entity has been dissolved and established multiples times in the history."

I found it interesting that Indians for some reason like to insist on this absurdity. There must be some benefits or advantages of making such claim.

If you keep calling historical facts as absurdity then there's nothing to debate here
