Re: Ancient history of india PART 2
The enetial migrations of Aryan people into india began around 1500 BC
The Aryans came down from the centeral india region and entered india through the Khyber pass.They intermingled with the local populace and assimilated themselves into the social framework.They took up the agricultural lifestyle of their predecessors and established small agrarian communities across the territory of modern Punjab.
The Aryans belived to have bought with them the horses,developed the sanskrit language and made significant inrods into the prevailing faiths of the times.These factors plays a crucial role in the shaping of indian culture
Sanskrit is basis of the majority of indian languages,the region of the Aryans,which sprung during the vedic era,with its rich pantheon of Gods and GOdesses and its store house of myths and legends,became the foundation of Hindu religion as we know it today.
The early religion of Aryans was basically nature worship.The object of nature the sun ,moon ,water ,earth ,fire ,each had a presiding deity ,who had to be propitiated for peace and general well being.
The Aryans developed a rich tradition .They composed the hymns of the four Vedas the great philosophical poem that are at the heart of Hindu philosophy.
A settled lifestyle brought in complex forms of goverment and social patterns.This period was the evolution of the cast system and the emerges of kingdoms and republics.The events describe in the two great epics,The Ramayan and the Mahabharat are likely have occured during the 1000 BC to 800 BC
