I have to disagree. England, France, Italy, Germany, Greece, and Spain have all had SUBSTANTIALLY more of an impact on World History than India. I understand that you may personally favor India, but even today, India is largely a third-world power struggling to be a second-world power. India is wracked with illiteracy, poverty, lack of fundamental needs like electricity and clean water, and plagued by petty religious hatreds and regional squabbles. NOT A MAJOR WORLD POWER IN ANY WAY.
