Introduction: 

Introduction It is impossible not to be astonished by India. Now where on Earth does humanity present itself in such a dizzying, creative burst of cultures and religions, race and tongues.

Perhaps the only thing more difficult than to be indifferent to India would be to describe or understand India completely. Here is what some literates have to say…

Quote - unquote: 

Quote - unquote “India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grand mother of tradition.

History of india: 

History of india Dating back at least 5000 years, civilization in India has been a rich and complicated mix of peoples and religions. Harappa and Mohenjodaro were ancient Indian cities which existed between 3000 to 1500 BC. 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. In 1526, Babur established the Mughal empire, whose culture thrived under Akbar the Great. British rule in India began in the AD 1700s. Foreign domination engendered Indian nationalism, which eventually led to India winning its independence in 1947.
