Quick guide to Indian economic history

Indian Economy and how grand its history was, has always been a mystery. Some say Kingdoms in Indian subcontinent were richest at that time and others disagree. I am in no position to reveal any secrets but in this post i will try to clear my thoughts about Indian as i write.

History reveals that Indian plains were one of the oldest civilized area and could even be post-pyramid era. Proofs of trade with Egypt is very evident. A population of 2 lac in Mohanjadaro must have had great resources to create such a large city. I proves one point if not more, the region had conditions and natural resources to be rich in pre-industrial era.

The Kingdom of Mauryas has been described to be as sophisticated as any Chinese or Arab contemporary. Although it is believed to be smaller than European kingdom, the trade records point out that Mouryas could have had a bigger economy. The Southern Indian kingdoms are also known to be Grander then the Romans.

Then why did the economic hub become so poor?

Reasons are many. Biggest being political inefficiency of the rulers after Mauryas. We failed to defend our people from foreign attacks and social differences.

After the Game Changer (2nt World War), it all went back to 1500 BC. America being the then Europe and Europe being the then India.

Indian subcontinent has always been soft, and has survived in a peaceful world. I see todays India back in the Maurya age with strong ideals and bright future.

WebCamMax Review

How often does it happen to you..?? You just met a girl over the internet, you feel you are the right guy, the perfect gentleman, but the girl dumps you for that *COOL* guy she just met, who has these fancy Mario costumes, who flies around the room dressed as superman..and surprisingly, It works. Why??? Because he makes her laugh (the evergreen secret) I admit , I am the worst at it.. :-)

So, I was looking for some cool, appealing ways I could make my webcam "FUN" for hotties, and after spending not more than 5 minutes, I got my right product.
WebcamMax --http://www.webcammax.com/

I call it the smiling Cam for some very valid points. It brings smile to your face with some really cool effects. In my quest for the PERFECT software, I tried a few others too, but the quality output WebCamMax gave, made it the ideal choice for me.

Here are my Pros and Cons for the same-
Pros - A great interface.
- A number of cool realtime even for the demo version :-)
- I could even record and share my videos with other social networking sites.
- My favourite part was the VIRTUAL WEBCAM. I could easily share my videos on Yahoo and other such services, without even the need of a real Webcam.

Cons- The only real worry I had was the freezing of Live Yahoo Webcam whenever I applied effects to the live cam.It was quite annoying to be honest.
- Also,some of the backgrounds were not stable enough for my liking.

Conclusion- I must add that I used the Demo version, with the annoying watermark at the top, and a few problems here and there. But, overall, the experience I had with this product was a good one, and I have no hesitations in suggesting this wonderful software to anyone.
