Obviously India .

显然是印度

It depends upon the person who writes the history.

这要看是谁写的历史

 

Mahesh, works at Earth

I am an Indian.

Before the British came and colonise Indian sub continents there was no India. Before that Mughals who used Persian as the court language ruled most of North India.

However, China was never ‘colonised’ by any one. No foreign language displaced Chinese.

China has influenced the world way more than India when it comes to science, technology and inventions.

However, Indian religions such as Buddhism has influenced China, Japan and other Asia countries.

我是印度人。

英国人到来前，英国人殖民印度前，印度次大陆没有印度这个国家的。

之前是莫卧儿人统治着印度北方大多数地区。

然而，中国从未被任何国家殖民过，中文没有被外国语言取代

就科学、技术和发明而言，中国对世界的影响，远远大于印度。

然而，佛教等印度宗教影响了中国、日本和其他亚洲国家

Paper has contributed to the spread of European culture. If there were no papers, would Martin use parchment to propagate his views?

Compass: if there is no compass, how will the new airway be opened? How do people get steady directions?

Gunpowder: the invention of gunpowder destroyed the strong medieval fortress and accelerated the decline of the Knights class.

造纸术对欧洲文化的传播做出了贡献。

不会造纸的话，马丁是否会用羊皮纸来传播观点。

指南针：没有指南针的话，怎么开辟新的航线，怎么搞得清楚方向？

火药：火药的发明，使得中世纪牢固的堡垒变得不堪一击，加速了骑士的式微

 

Benedict Joseph

Though India had a Long History of Golden Age - China had its unique culture for its decades because it has very few Invadors throughout History.

Indian Culture and History what we see today - was contributed not only from the people of Indus valley and Dravidians..but also from the outsiders.

Hence it's history is interlined with Persia, South east Asia, Mughals, Syrian Catholics and so on.

Hence the answer would be China, because its more of an Imperial state for many Decades.

虽然印度鼎盛时期的历史更悠久，然而中国历史上遭受过的入侵少，保留着独特的文化。

我们今天看到的印度文化和历史，不仅有印度河流域和德拉威人的贡献，而且受到了外来者的影响。

因此，对历史影响更大的应该是中国

 

Subhajeet Rath, Indian by birth, Indian by heart

While I greatly admire the Chinese Civilization and their contribution to the history of the world, India undoubtedly had a greater impact on the world including China.

Think of all the core philosophies of Chinese Culture. All have roots in Buddhism. Guess where the roots of Buddhism are.

India was the original land of opportunities. So many cultures and communities found refuge from persecution here. These cultures would be lost in time if not for India.

Countries like America, Indonesia were colonized due to India.

Imagine a world without zero or the decimal system. Imagine a world without Chess. Imagine a world without Spirituality.

India has affected the history of every single country in the world and it’s contributions are irreplaceable.

虽然我非常钦佩中国文明，钦佩中国文明对世界历史的贡献，然而印度无疑对包括中国在内的世界造成了更大影响。

仔细思考中国文化的核心哲学，一切都是根植于佛教的。

而佛教来自哪里？

印度是机遇之地。很多文化在印度找到了土壤，避免了消亡。

要不是印度，这些文化已经消失了。

想象一下没有0-10（十进制）的世界。

想象一下没有国际象棋的世界

历史上，印度影响了世界上每一个国家，印度的贡献是不可替代的
