General History It’s known from
→ archaeological evidence that
a highly sophisticated
urbanized culture—the ​Indus
civilization​—dominated the
northwestern part of the
subcontinent from about 2600
to 2000 BCE. From that
period on, India functioned as
a virtually self-contained
political and cultural arena,
which gave rise to a
distinctive tradition that was
associated primarily with
Hinduism​, the roots of which
can largely be traced to the
Indus civilization Throughout
the centuries residents of the
subcontinent developed a
rich intellectual life in such
fields as mathematics,
astronomy, architecture,
literature, music, and the fine
arts.

@ Past 50 years Years of nonviolent
of history → resistance to British rule, led
by Mohandas Gandhi and
Jawaharlal Nehru eventually
resulted in Indian
independence, granted in
1947. Large-scale domestic
violence took place before
and after India partition into
two separate states - India
and Pakistan. The
neighboring nations have
fought three wars since
independence, the last of
which was in 1971 and
resulted in East Pakistan
becoming the separate
nation of Bangladesh. India's
nuclear weapons tests in
1998 emboldened Pakistan
to conduct its own tests that
same year. In November
2008, terrorists originating
from Pakistan conducted a
series of coordinated attacks
in Mumbai, India's financial
capital. Despite pressing
problems such as significant
overpopulation,
environmental degradation,
extensive poverty, and
widespread corruption,
economic growth following
the launch of economic
reforms in 1991 and a
massive youthful population
are driving India's
emergence as a regional and
global power.

India. Aryan tribes from the
northwest infiltrated the
Indian subcontinent about
1500 B.C.; their merger with
the earlier Dravidian
inhabitants created the
classical Indian culture. The
Maurya Empire of the 4th and
3rd centuries B.C. - which
reached its zenith under
ASHOKA - united much of
South Asia. The Golden Age
ushered in by the Gupta
dynasty (4th to 6th centuries
A.D.) saw a flowering of
Indian science, art, and
culture. Islam spread across
the subcontinent over a
period of 700 years. In the
10th and 11th centuries,
Turks and Afghans invaded
India and established the
Delhi Sultanate. In the early
16th century, the Emperor
BABUR established the
Mughal Dynasty, which ruled
India for more than three
centuries. European
explorers began establishing
footholds in India during the
16th century.
