You know Amina there is no guarantee about the name of Chandragupta's Greek wife. Some sources say her name was Cornelia and some sources say her name was Helena. As a matter of fact the Wikipedia page on CGM says her name is Helena. The page on "Helena's father",Selucus Nikator in the same Wikipedia says that name of his daughter who married CGM is Cornelia. One more source very interestingly combines all these names and says that her name is Helena Cornelia Selucida. So the name itself is controversial and has a number of versions. So wouldn't it be better if we just enjoyed the series without getting into controversies regarding chronology and exact details. All of us take pride in our heritage. I love to read history to know more about our ancestors and their history. I don't watch a historical fiction show for that. I watch it solely for entertainment. I hope all of us here are old enough to know where to look for if we want to know our history.
