Actually i think it's Gandahar in Uzbekistan or up there somewhere. There are ruins and paintings there i saw on a TV show where there are people depicted with blond/red hair,
indian types, and chinese. It's that mysterious Uzbeki hidden civilisation.

Gandhara = Kandahar, in Afghanistan. hastinapur = New Delhi c. 300 BC. The rest are all Magadhan or early Maurayan names. The map itself depicts the Mauryan Empire c. 300 B.C. which stretched over most of the indian continent except for the extreme south. India did include Burma, Afghanistan and parts of cnetral asia.
