I rarely see /his/ discuss that which has arisen from this subcontinent, be it historical or philosophical (with the exception of Buddhism, but that is usually from the Sinic perspective anyway). Why is that?
Because this board is /pol/-lite and extremely Western-centric.
But you could share some knowledge, if you want to. I wouldn't mind learning more, seeing as I know absolutely nothing about it.

Unfortunately I must admit my knowledge in regards to the Indian subcontinent is lacking and most of what I do know can be found with a simple Wikipedia search.
I remember reading in Ancient Engineers that the Indians put most of their writing on leaves, which is why we have so much less writing from ancient Indians compared to Mesopotamians and Egyptians.
I do know that there's a lot of interesting stuff coming out of India that we don't know much about, such as passing references from Greek writers of republics existing in India, or bronze age cities with a gridiron plan, no fortifications and working sewers.

For most of its history India was divided into several different competing states (similar to Germany or Italy). Scientific discoveries and technological achievments were only ever made when most of India was united under the rule of one empire (which itself happened quite rarely). Due to the fact that most of India's history was centered around a ragtag bunch of irrelevant states fighting each other (similar to what happened in the HRE), knowledge of most of Indian history was restricted to a bunch of afficionados/specialists.

This as well. Though I rarely ever see threads mentioning all the irrelevant wars which happened in the HRE or medieval Italy.
Nobody on /his/ knows anything India
So all India threads are doomed to be /int/ level literal shitposting and /pol/fags rubbing their dicks to the Indo-Aryan tribes

I made a thread last year. https://desuarchive.org/his/thread/966670/#967141
I made a part 2 as well, some 20 people read it and handful of questions were had.
I guess there was some crusade and europe thread circle jerk was being spammed.

Second thread I made which died quite quickly.
