Explain how India's contacts with the world have continued through the ages.

Yes, it is true that India’s contacts with the world have continued through the ages. This can be explained as follows:

ii. India’s position is a very strategic position from an economic point of view.

iii. The Himalayas in the north provided passes which helped ancient travellers to cross them and explore India through land routes.

iv. Suez Canal built by British have become a significant trade route from England to any other country of Asia which have to pass through India.
