I just came across this claim by #TrueIndology that Sher Shah didn't make grand trunk road. I don't know what and who of Megasthenes so Googled but the results are also all right wing website repeating the same claim. None giving a reference. How RW creates post-truth. pic.twitter.com/ZDvo5SlyM7

Megasthenes also mentions Indians didnt have slavery. That is the reason Left wing want to discount everything that he said because it doesnt fit their narrative.
I mean why would an invader would talk about good things in India.

Tbf he also said India had ants that dug gold and men with dog faces and backward pointed feet. Megasthenes isn't a very dependable source. And we don't even have the Indica in one piece, just references to it elsewhere.

Maybe he saw the people suffering from Elephantiasis.
