Megasthenes was the ambassador of Seleucus Nikator, to the court of Chandragupta Maurya, in the 4th century BC. His Indika has been the most authentic and accurate account of that era. Fa Hien tra to India from China, in 339 AD, to learn the true teachings of
Buddha. He came during the Gupta rule, touring extensively and recording his
observations.
Buddhist scholar, Hiuen Tsang, faced heavy odds as he travelled through India in 629 AD, to seek the law of Buddha. Those who sought his wisdom were Emperor Harsha and Pulakeshi II.
