INDIAN NAVY

#ashokasays Did you know 26:

Today Indian Navy is one of the most powerful navies in the world. But Indian maritime history dates all the way back to 7600 years. The first tidal dock in India is estimated to have been built at Lothal (Gujarat) around 2300BC during Indus Valley Civilization. The earliest known reference to an organization dedicated to ships in ancient India is to the Mauryan Empire in 4th Century BC. Powerful navies included those of Maurya, Satavahana, Gupta, Chola, Pandya, Vijayanagara, Kalinga, Mughal and Maratha empires. The Maratha naval power dominated the military scene in India for 3 centuries.
