Question

Imagine there is a ruler X in Central Asia. X does not have a navy. How would X bring in his/her forces into the Indian subcontinent?

• A. Using the Pushpaka Vimana
• B. By crossing the mountainous passes of Northwest India
• C. By tunnelling underground
• D. Swimming across one of the seas that surround the subcontinent

Answer 1

The correct option is B By crossing the mountainous passes of Northwest India

Since the Indian subcontinent is surrounded on three sides by seas and ruler X does not have a navy, they will not be able to invade India by sea. Then, the only approach is by land but the Himalayas block entry via the Northern direction. Hence the only option left for ruler X is crossing the mountainous passes of Northwest India.
