Mar 6, 2010 - Well that is a overly simplified way of putting it but that would have been part of it. Basically feeding off the scraps left behind by humans. I think there was a bit more too it as well.If you take a look at the intestines of domestic cats they are longer than wild cats to deal with harder to digest human food. As a lot of the stuff humans eat is not part of a cats diet.

Mar 13, 2010 - @NorthDravid Of course Darius anexed Punjab in 517 BC is an important name in indian history, The greek connection is irrelevant.

At least, that's what the results seem to show to me.

Mar 18, 2010 - Maybe that's why they don't look at you in the face directly, at least for some.

Mar 19, 2010 - @dumbnetworks No, it is not an "important" name in Indian history, because there's absolutely no evidence left (numismatic or otherwise) in India/Pakistan of Persian control. The success & longevity of Achaemenid control over western India was tenuous at best. Darius only mentions Gadara and Hidush in his Naghsh-e Rostam inscription (NWFP and Sindh in modern day Pak). Punjab proper (centred around Lahore-Amritsar) was never under any Persian control - even nominal.

WozulPonz Says:

Mar 19, 2010 - @dumbnetworks Besides, the Greek connection is not irrelevant. Darius is the Greek name for Darayavahu, which is how the actual name of the Persian emperor is pronounced as in Old Persian.It is a direct cognate of Sanskrit "vasudhara" (vahu>vasu = good, daraya>dhara = to hold), which means "the holder/keeper of goodness". "Vasudhara" is a very typical Sanskrit name, and can even be found today in India.

Mar 22, 2010 - @WozulPonz "because there's absolutely no evidence left (numismatic or otherwise) in India/Pakistan of Persian control" darius anexed punjab in 517 BC, there is your evidence, look it up. And again the greek origin is irrelevant here, every name has an "origin" somewhere are you greek or something?

Jan 18, 2012 - Homosexual activists understand the power of words.Please visit my channel to watch a one-minute video clip in which popular atheist author Richard Dawkins admits that homosexual activists "hijacked the word 'gay'".The word "homosexual" is more appropriate and accurate because it, unlike the word "gay", actually describes the behavior/attraction/relationship being discussed.The word "gay" helps homosexual activists push their agenda.
