The excavation of Harappan civilisation has provided the in formation that India had trade and cultural relations with Mesopotamia since 3000 BC. Even before 600 BC India had relation with Arabs, Greeks and Romans. Relation were made with the Greeks after the invasion of Alexander.

The Historian Pleeny was very much upset due to the increase in the import of silk, cotton, jwellery and spices. The import of these goods caused a lot of Roman wealth reach India. The persons who came from abroad were called ‘Yavan’ in ‘Sangam Sahitya’. There was a habitation of Roman in Aricmendu in Tamil Nadu.
2. Relation of India with the Arabian Countries:
The relation of India with the Arabian Coipitries is quite old. The Arabs learnt the Indian numerical system and the decimal system from India. They called the Indian numerical system the Hindsa. The Europeans received this knowledge from the Arabs.

In olden times Arabs came to India to study science. Mathematics, Astrology, Medicine, Philosophy and Literature.
