History of incredible India - A quick and short course.BY: aniket | Category: Education | Post Date: 2008-09-16
People have lived on the Indian subcontinent for about 400,000 years. Some came to India from western Asia;others probably sailed on primitive boats from eastern Africa.By 2500 BC,the subcontinent's first civilization was developing on the banks of the Indus river. Buddhist and Hindu empires in 324 BC, Chandragupta Maurya, king of Magadha, eastern India,began to conquer northern India. He founded the Buddhist Mauryan empire, the first to unite the subcontinent. His dynasty was followed by the Guptas, a family of Hindu rulers who controlled india from AD C.320 TO C.700. Then came the era of Islam between the 8th and 12th centuries, many Muslim invaders from Arabia and western Asia attacked India. By 1206, a Muslim Sultan, based in Delhi,ruled the whole of northern Indian plain. Under Delhi Sultans and the later Mughal emperors,large area of India was under Islamic rule. British came to India in the late 1700s, the British East India company defeated rival European colonists and established an empire based on three presidencies of Bombay, Madras,Bengal. By 1850, the company ruled some three fifth of India,with the rest run by local princes who where subject to the British. In 1885,the Indian national congress was founded to campaign for Indian rights. By the 1920s,under the leadership of MOHANDAS KARAMCHAND GANDHI, it was demanding Indian independence. A long campaign of resistance to British rule followed, but it was not until the end of world war 2, in 1945,that Britain agreed to make India an independent state. Hence, India is greatly influenced by different rulers and dynasties which can be seen in neoteric era too.
