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

Sher shahs innovations are very clearly stated to be the regularly spaced horse stables(allowing royal messengers to switch horses), caravan sarais and trees I think though I doubt he did much on that front. The road obviously existed before him. But still not knowing who megasthenes is despite graduating Indian schools is something lol. I think Indica might be the only Greek text a lot of Indians know about.
