Indian history is filled with incredible stories of thriving civilizations, religions and cultures dating all the way back to paleolithic age, Indian civilization is one of the oldest civilization that we know and it has played a part on the world stage for centuries and even still today while it is impossible to truly capture all of Indian history in a one single go.

Harappan civilization also known as Indus valley civilization.

 The evidence of cave paintings and stone tools have revealed that the first sign of human activity in India can be traced back to somewhere between 400,000B.C and 200,000B.C ,  details concerning the civilizations , inhabiting the region back that long ago do not exist. But we do know that the first sophisticated societies to walk the lands of India was the Harappan civilization, who likely existed throughout the first few thousand year Before Christ(B.C), positioned along the Indus river, the Harrapan people had their own writing system, advanced social and economic systems and impressive urban cities and architecture. Everything was perfect and seem like a modernized India. But the reason why the civilization collapsed was unknown. The civilization was collapsed around  1500BC. But some attribute their demise to the common floods and other natural disasters in the region or may be because of  potential invaders from the western and central Asia

The next known civilization that left mark on Indian History is the Vedic Aryans.

 These people were initially were migrants who spoke an early form of Sanskrit and were determined to stay true to their own tribal identity. The name they have been given- the Vedic people comes from the 4 sacred texts or Vedas that have presented researches with a glimpse into the lives of civilizations and their beliefs.  The Vedas are often considered to be the oldest Hindu scripts and the Vedic civilization is believed to have spread their culture across the large portion of India by roughly 1000Bc, with them the Vedic Aryans brought their philosophical beliefs

    These ideas represent a theory that happiness and salvation from a persons morals and ethics and one’s path should be based upon their place in life.

The societal system of Vedic Aryans are originally made up of 3 tiers. They are:

1. Brahman or priest
2. Kshatriya or warrior.
3. Vaishya or commoner

The spread their  civilization and accordingly both the culture and trade flourished.
