Black Truth 3

INDIA: When Columbus discovered America and reached Jamaica, he thought that he had discovered India. So, he named that area as India and called the population there as Indians. Later on when Vasco de Gamma discovered the real India or ‘BHARAT’, then it became a problem for the Europeans. So they considered the first one as West Indies and named the population as Red Indians. That was the time when people traveled by ships and aeroplanes were not invented. India was very far from Europe, that was why when British entered India, England was called ‘Vilayat’ and ‘across the seven seas’.
SEVEN SEAS: The term seven seas is applicable only for England and not for the other countries of the world. At present it is used for America, Canada, Australia and other different countries. In fact, when a ship journey starts from India it has to cross seven seas to reach the English channel. These seven seas are as follows;
i) Arabian Sea
ii) Caspian Sea
iii) Black Sea
iv) Red Sea
v) Mediterranean Sea
vi) Adriatic Sea
vii) North Sea(English Channel)
Most of the people can not differentiate between a sea and an ocean. There are only six oceans in the world, i.e., North Atlantic Ocean, South Atlantic Ocean, North Pacific Ocean, South Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, and Arctic Ocean.
Now a days, if some one travels by Air from India to America, Canada or Australia, one has to cross only two oceans, not the seven seas. Now, the sea route is favorable for the Militants.
