INDIA:
India is an abode to several of the world’s most prominent civilizations, with social structures, literature, mathematical systems, philosophies, religions, and arts that can be traced back thousands of years, with vast empires far more complex and earlier than anything to be found in the west.
One of them flourished almost five thousand years back, “Indus River Valley Civilization”. The cities of Mohenjodaro and Harappa are known for their lifestyle, art, knowledge of town planning, and language. This ancient civilization grew up here surrounded on the north by the world’s greatest mountain range ‘Himalaya’ which, with its extensions to east and west, divides India from the rest of Asia and the world.
This divide was at no time an inseparable one, as at all times settlers and traders have found their way over the high passes into India, while Indians have carried their commerce and culture to the rest of Asia and west into Europe. The Aryans around 15th century BC, entered from the high passes of North and spread through large parts of India bringing with them their culture and religion. The Four Vedas and the important books of Hinduism were amassed in this period.
Around 5th century BC the founder of the Buddhist Religion God Gautam Buddha was born and in the same century Lord Mahavira was also born, who founded the Jain Religion. You will find lots of places, caves, and monuments devoted to religion.
Thereafter, In the 4th century BC, Emperor Ashoka, one of the greatest king of Indian history ruled over India and built various Buddhist monuments. The Ashoka pillar of Sarnath with Four Faced Lion, has been adopted by the Government of India as its national emblem and you will find the Dharm Chakra of the same pillar on our National Flag. Then followed The Mauryans, Guptas & Cholas Empires and later in 12th century AD Mohammed Ghori from Afganistan, came into India and ruled north of India including Delhi and at this time Islam was introduced into North of India.
In the 15th century Guru Nanak laid the foundation of the Sikh religion in North India Then came the Portuguese, French, Dutch, and British in the 17th century… But it was the British, who ruled most of India till 1946 and after a big struggle, on 15th August 1947, Modern India got its freedom and became the largest democratic country in the world. But India is not just past glories. Its modern software companies are making deep inroads into Western markets, many villages have their community satellite dish; India launches its space rockets and all serviced by the growing middle classes which have become a powerful economic force in India.
