Like wise first war of Indian Independence is mentioned as 1857. While as per text books and commonly know it is right. But our country which was the wealtiest in all aspects like money, technology,science, medicine etc., was attracted by various foreign invaders for over 1000 years and the war against the invaders started as early as 2000 years back when Alexander invaded our country. Precisely starting from the invasion of Gaznavi, Gori our struggle/war of independence started.
