can someone explain why things mentioned in bhagavad gita ,puranas,vedas

everything is confined to india
places
animals
flowers(Lotus)
Rivers (ganga) but not nile
lakes(manasarovar) but not lake superoir
1)theres no mention of anything that is from other continents
2) if king parikshit ruled whole world where is the evidence ,i mean why is there no trace of indian culture in other parts of the world when its ruled by a n indian king?
3)and how can a swan seprate milk from milk/water mixture and leave water
when milk is almost water itself?
4)If everysoul is a part and parcel of krishna,how is that souls maintain theirr individuality?

Other places are also mentioned.

Kirata, Huna, Andhra, Pulinda, Pulkasa, Abhira, Sumbha, Yavana, members of the Khasa races and even others addicted to sinful acts can be purified by taking shelter of the devotees of the Lord, due to His being the supreme power. I beg to offer my respectful obeisances unto Him.

(that refers to different places)

Some say that the Unborn is born for the glorification of pious kings, and others say that He is born to please King Yadu, one of Your dearest devotees. You appear in his family as sandalwood appears in the Malaya hills.

(that refers to Malaysia)

But the life was wild is some places outside of India, as we know.... There are more things mentioned...

malaysia was wellknown during ancient times even tamil kings ruled there so there is lilttle indian culture and hinduism flourshing there
but if king parikshit ruled the whole world, where is the indian influence on other contries except indian subcontinenet and wherever there is buddhism i find the indian culture other than that no trace at all ..i'm confused
and all those places u mentioned r different places in india i live in andhra pradesh

Well in those days the rest of the word was rather undeveloped, maybe user Veda has some references to Egypt, it was mentioned, but most of the word was wild really or covered with an ice cap. Civilized world is mentioned, including greek and persian kingdoms. China also mentioned some places.

VEDA

Read SB 2.4.18 with purport.

Other places in Jambudvipa are mentioned in SB 5.16.

Vedic sastras refer mainly to India since they were preserved there for the longest time as well as written down.

Dunno about how exactly swan does it but know that flamingo can filter plankton from water.

Jiva is one and different from Krsna, like a spark and a fire.

vedas r always there
if u donno how a swan can seperate then how can u believe it
isn't jambudvipa - malasysia or indonesia

Howdy, Stranger!
