      Okay, but China only has a handful of major surnames. If I said Li, that’s like 500 figures right there.

    8. How about we let people decide what they enjoy about hostory, instead of being mad that your favorite historical figuers aren’t popular enough?

      For me, its because China has many many more years being a united empire and dynasties compared to India.

      ALSO, WHERE ARE YOUR HISTORICAL DRAMAS AND GAMES?

      How on earth should I know what Indians are up to if your historical dramas ans games aint going mainstream?

      China was constantly downplayed in the past. The bitter truth is you need to be higher income country to be respected in the current world. It will take another 15-20 years. I do agree that Indian history is as rich as Chinese. I might say even richer due to diversity.
