  16. Weren't there conquests within India?  I mean, of one part of India over
  17. another?  Historically, hasn't the Indian subcontinent usually been several
  18. different countries with warfare between them?  In particular, hasn't
  19. the northern portions of India conquered the southern portions? 
  20.  
  21. I would think that the geographical isolation of the subcontinent would
  22. have something to do with the fact that these battles never reached
  23. the outside.  Not that I'm disagreeing with your point, but I think you
  24. stated it too strongly, and with a bit of rose tint on your lenses.
