The above statement is false
Megasthenes was an ambassador sent to the Chandragupta Maurya court by the Seleucus Nicator, the Greek tyrant of West Asia. He spoke about his experiences and the social structure under the Maurya kingdom while he was in India. He explained how the major cities had the outstanding infrastructure and were well watched. The king was the most important individual and was, therefore, well guarded. He spoke of Pataliputra's capital as spacious, lovely, and encircled by a huge wall. His book also discussed daily life and his time spent at the king's court.
The correct statement would be that Megasthenes was not an ambassador from France.
