home search help worldguide ... Related Weblinks India History India's first major civilisation flourished for a thousand years from around 2500 BC along the Indus River valley. Its great cities were Mohenjodaro and Harappa (in what is now Pakistan), ruled by priests and bearing the rudiments of Hinduism. Aryan invaders swept south from Central Asia between 1500 and 200 BC and controlled northern India, pushing the original Dravidian inhabitants south. The invaders brought their own gods and cattle-raising and meat-eating traditions, but were absorbed to such a degree that by the 8th century BC the priestly caste had reasserted its supremacy. This became consolidated in the caste system, a hierarchy maintained by strict rules that secured the position of the Brahmin priests. Buddhism arose around 500 BC, condemning caste; it drove a radical swathe through Hinduism in the 3rd century BC when it was embraced by the Mauryan Emperor Ashoka, who controlled huge tracts of India. A number of empires, including the Guptas, rose and fell in the north after the collapse of the Mauryas. Hinduism underwent a revival from 40 to 600 AD, and Buddhism began to decline. The north of India broke into a number of separate Hindu kingdoms after the Huns invasion; it was not really unified again until the coming of the Muslims in the 10th and 11th centuries. The far south, whose prosperity was based on trading links with the Egyptians, Romans and Southeast Asia, was unaffected by the turmoil in the north, and Hinduism's hold on the region was never threatened.

Numbers in very early societies were typically represented by groups of lines, though later different numbers came to be assigned specific numeral names and symbols (as in India) or were designated by alphabetic letters (such as in Rome). Although today, we take our decimal system for granted, not all ancient civilizations based their numbers on a ten-base system. In ancient Babylon, a sexagesimal (base 60) system was in use. The Decimal System in Harappa In India a decimal system was already in place during the Harappan period, as indicated by an analysis of Harappan weights and measures. Weights corresponding to ratios of 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, and 500 have been identified, as have scales with decimal divisions. A particularly notable characteristic of Harappan weights and measures is their remarkable accuracy. A bronze rod marked in units of 0.367 inches points to the degree of precision demanded in those times. Such scales were particularly important in ensuring proper implementation of town planning rules that required roads of fixed widths to run at right angles to each other, for drains to be constructed of precise measurements, and for homes to be constructed according to specified guidelines. The existence of a gradated system of accurately marked weights points to the development of trade and commerce in Harappan society.

History of India Chronology 3200-1600 BCE: India - The INDUS VALLEY civilization grows up along the banks of the Indus River in what is now Pakistan. The two most important sites uncovered so far by archeologists are Harappa and Mohenjo-Dara; both cities show considerable development including multi-level houses and city-wide plumbing. The Indus Valley civilization appears to have collapsed because natural disaster altered the course of the Indus River. 2300-2000 BCE: India - Cultural exchange between the INDUS VALLEY civilization and MESOPOTAMIA (present day Iraq) is especially prominent. 600-1500 BCE: India - The Aryans invade the INDUS VALLEY region. 1600-1000 BCE: India - Between these dates, the Early Vedic period of Indian civilization unfolds. 1550 BCE: India - Writing disappears from India for a time with the destruction of the INDUS VALLEY civilization. 1000-600 BCE: India - During this period of Indian civilization, the Late Vedic period, the Aryans are integrated into Indian culture. The caste system emerges. 1000 BCE: India - The Rig Veda, the first Vedic literature, is written.

World Talk Menu HISTORY India’s history begins not with independence in 1947, but more than 4500 years earlier, when the name India Central to Indian history are the people of India who established complex political systems, whether local kingdoms or mighty empires, in which learning and religion flourished. Until the modern industrial era, India was a land famed for its economic as well as cultural wealth. Europeans visited the country to trade for the finest cotton textiles as well as spices. Eventually, the British colonized the region. Their exploitation of India's economic wealth and the subsequent destruction of its indigenous industry provoked and then fueled a nationalist movement, eventually forcing the British to grant India (partitioned into the two states of India and Pakistan) its independence in 1947. Since that time India has developed into a vibrant democracy, making slow but steady progress in development. A Early Civilizations A Indus Valley Civilization A Aryan Settlement and the Vedic Age In about 1500 BC the Aryans, a nomadic people from Central Asia, settled in the upper reaches of the Indus, Yamuna, and Gangetic plains. They spoke a language from the Indo-European family and worshiped gods similar to those of later-era Greeks and northern Europeans. The Aryans are particularly important to Indian history because they originated the earliest forms of the sacred Vedas (orally transmitted texts of hymns of devotion to the gods, manuals of sacrifice for their worship, and philosophical speculation). By 800 BC the Aryans ruled in most of northern India, occasionally fighting among themselves or with the peoples of the land they were settling. There is no evidence of what happened to the people displaced by the Aryans. In fact they may not have been displaced at all but instead may have been incorporated in Aryan culture or left alone in the hills of northern India.

Chitwan National Park India History India's long history includes a succession of kingdoms and empires and an often volatile mixture of religions and cultures. Hinduism, the world's oldest-surviving religion, and Buddhism, established in the 6th century BC, both came out of the region, though in the long term, Hinduism would have the greater influence on India itself. Beginning in the AD 700s, Islam came to the Indian subcontinent. Muslim rulers first took control of India in the 1100s and later the Islamic Mughal empire (1526-1738) had a lasting impact on the area. While a sizable Muslim population developed, Hindus remained in the majority. India has made great strides in other areas, though. It has remained a democracy - despite its turbulent and often violent politics, including the assassination of two prime ministers - and economic development has been impressive. The 1990s saw the government abandon decades of economic isolation and welcome foreign investors. As a result, advanced service industries such as computer-software development have blossomed, though rising prices have proved unpopular, especially with lower-paid workers. Despite huge and visible problems facing the government, India remains one of the most accessible destinations in the developing world.

COCHIN : the queen of the Arabian sea. Written by Marco Ramerini visits to this page from 26/02/99 The Town of Cochin in 1635 circa. The city of Cochin (today: Ernakulam) was, from the 24 December 1500 when the first Portuguese fleet called on its port, a firm ally of the Portuguese. The admiral of this fleet was Pedro Alvares Cabral (the discoverer of Brasil). The Rajah (king) of Cochin allowed that a "feitoria" (factory) be allocated to the Portuguese and upon Cabral’s departure he allowed that thirty Portuguese and four Franciscan friars stayed in Cochin. In 1502 a new expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama arrived at Cochin, and the friendship with the Rajah of Cochin was renewed. After the departure of Vasco da Gama, the Zamorin of Calicut, enemy of the Portuguese, attacked Cochin and destroyed the Portuguese "feitoria". The Rajah of Cochin and his Portuguese allies were forced to withdraw to the island of Vypin. Here, they were reinforced by three ships under Francisco de Albuquerque’s leadership and, some days later by Duarte Pacheco Pereira (the author of "Esmeraldo de situ orbis") an the Calicut troops immediately abandoned the siege. In 1505, a stone fortress replaced the wooden fortress of Cochin. The first church of Cochin was that of São Bartolomeu built in 1504. In 1506, the construction of Santa Cruz church (which gave its name to the Portuguese town) was initiated.

The city, which belonged to the Kingdom of Cambay, was a very important one, also before the Portuguese conquest. The sources of wealth for Baçaim were: the horse trade, the fishing, the salt, the timber, the stone quarry (basalt, granite), and the shipyards. In 1528, Captain Heytor de Silveira, captured and burnt the city of Bassein. After this, the Lord of Thana submitted, voluntarily, as tributary to Portugal. In 1532, the Portuguese, newly, attacked Bassein, and after a weak resistance, they entered the fort and destroyed it. The towns of Thana, Bandora, Mahim and Bombaim were put under tribute. On 23 December 1534, the Sultan of Guzarat, ceded, by treaty, Bassein with its dependencies (Salcete, Bombaim, Parel, Vadala, Siao, Vorli, Mazagao, Thana, Bandra, Mahim, Caranja...) to Portugal .

Volunteer In India Volunteer Abroad Volunteer In The USA How To Apply ... Request Information India's History Arab and European Conquests India's extraordinary history and geography are inextricably interrelated. A meeting ground between the East and West, it was routinely invaded, while at the same time its natural isolation and magnetic religions allowed it to adapt to and absorb many of the peoples who penetrated its mountain passes. Regardless of the many Persians, Greeks, Chinese nomads, Arabs, Portuguese, British and other raiders who conquered the land, local Hindu kingdoms invariably survived their depradations, living out their own sagas of conquest and collapse. All the while, these local dynasties built upon the roots of a culture well established since the time of the first invaders, the Aryans. In short, India has always been simply too big, too complicated, and too culturally subtle to let any one empire dominate it for long. The Discovery of India's Most Ancient Civilization British engineers in the mid-1800's, busy constructing a railway line between Karachi and Punjab, found ancient, kiln-baked bricks along the path of the track. This discovery was treated at the time as little more than a curiosity, but archaeologists later revisited the site in the 1920's and determined that the bricks were over 5,000 years old. Soon afterward, two important cities were discovered: Harappa on the Ravi river, and Mohenjodaro on the Indus. The civilization that laid the bricks, one of the world's oldest, was known as the Indus. They had a written language and were highly sophisticated. Dating back to 3000 BC, they originated in the south and moved north, building complex, mathematically-planned cities. Some of these towns were almost three miles in diameter and contained as many as 30,000 residents. These ancient municipalities had granaries, citadels, and even household toilets.

Historians are of the view that this civilisation flourished in the third millennium before the birth of Christ. It is known by the name of the two of its great cities - Harappa and Mohenjodaro situated on the left and the right bank respectively of the river Ravi in Punjab. The two cities were built on a similar plan - houses constructed with standard burnt bricks arranged in squares, along roads intersecting at right angles. The houses varied in size but were all based on the same plan - a small courtyard surrounded by rooms with entrances in side alleys, often multistoried with no windows opening out to the street. The houses had bathrooms and the drains flowing out were connected to covered sewers with soak-pits. This unique sewage system is amongst the most impressive achievements of the Indus people and sets them apart from all other ancient civilisations.

BACK TO THE FRONT PAGE BASIC INFO. ECONOMY GEOGRAPHY BACK TO THE FRONT PAGE BASIC INFO. ECONOMY GEOGRAPHY ... INDIA Dating back at least 5000 years, civilization in India has been a rich and complicated mix of peoples and religions. Brahminism, Buddhism, Jain, Hinduism all developed here in a series of kingdoms and empires. The Gupta dynasty ruled over a golden age for north India for about two hundred years (320-544 A.D.). In the 600s, the Indus River Valley was invaded by Arabs, who brought with them Islam, which took hold in northern India. The Sultanate of Delhi was established in 1206. It managed to withstand repeated Mongol invasions and eventually succeeded in bringing together nearly all of India (with the exception of some of the southern states). But the Sultanate of Delhi was weakened by the stresses of internal rebellion, particularly when combined with the attack of Timur Leng (Tamerlane) in 1398. In 1526, Babur established the Moghul empire, whose culture thrived under Akbar the Great. Threats to the Moghul empire from Marathan and Rajput were compounded by the encroaching interests of the European powers, who came to india in 1498 in the person of Vasco de Gama. A decade later, the Portuguese founded a colony at Goa. The Dutch, British, and French all tried to get in on the action but by 1792, the British clearly held the upper hand. In 1803, the Moghuls agreed to a British protectorate and in 1858, the Moghul empire was no more; the government of India became directly subject to the crown. Britain exercised its authority through a viceroy and the British Colonial Office. Finally, Queen Victoria was made Empress of India in 1877. It took seven decades for India to emerge from under British control. In 1947, the British raj was divided into Hindu India and Muslim Pakistan (by 1962, the French and the Portuguese had ceded their remaining Indian possessions). The architect of India's independence was Mahatma Gandhi, who was himself assassinated by a Hindu extremist in 1948. Peace has not reigned in the region since independence. India's most problematic relationship has been with Pakistan, but problems have persisted with the region of Kashmir. Internally, rivalry between Hindus and Muslims, and Sikhs and Hindus, have contributed to turmoil, as have the demands engendered by a huge and growing population. Political assassination resulted in the deaths of both Indira Gandhi in 1984 and her son and successor Rajiv in 1991.

THE GLOBAL AFRICAN COMMUNITY NOTES FROM A BROTHER IN INDIA: HISTORY AND HERITAGE By INIYAN ELANGO, M.D. Edited and Posted by RUNOKO RASHIDI T he first thing those who enslaved the Black people did was to erase all records and memories of our great heritage and history. This is because a rootless people will always wallow in self-pity and self-destruction. For example, the first thing that was done by the Sinhalese (the majority people in Sri Lanka who find kinship with the North Indian Hindus, Sanskrit language and their Aryan heritage), when they started a civil war with Sri Lanka's minority Tamil people two decades ago, was to burn down the centuries old library in a city called Jaffna which housed priceless Tamil books which were hundreds of years old. The civil war still wages in Sri Lanka and the Tamil Tigers, Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), are fighting for "Tamil Eelam", a separate Tamil homeland for Tamils in Sri Lanka. So that is why I consider it very important to make our people very proud of themselves again because we are the owners of the richest and the oldest civilization and culture. We were civilized, cultured and humane when the Aryan hordes were plundering, killing and amusing themselves in barbarism all over Europe and Central Asia. I think you know about the erstwhile "Lemuria" continent which bridged the Indian sub-continent and Australia, where the pre-historic Tamil (Black) people lived. Much of Lemuria was lost to the sea during a massive oceanic upheaval. But the aborigines of Australia are supposed to be the descendants of the pre-historic Tamils. Much of the customs and the language of the aborigines of Australia is similar to those of the rural Tamil folk. Even the facial features of the Australian aborigines and the Melanesian people is very similar to that of Tamil "Pariah" (Dalit) people.
