Indian History- a historical background

Before i embark my topic i must demystify the word "History"

History- History is the study of chronological series of  past events related to humans or a particular thing like history of india or harrapan civilization.

Why do we study history-History is to know about our past and how the things advanced in a materialistic way with time, it could be technology-wise.

Culture- Culture is the trend which a particular group of people follow, in the sense "what they are", "how they thrive" or we can say their living pattern like indian culture ,which is the big blend of various religions,dance,music etc. In my way it is the cardinal instrument to define or describe the indentity of any nation.

History of ancient india:
History of india and culture is dynamic and starts with civilazation of humans. This starts with mysterious indus valley civilization and extends till group of farmers in the south. History of india is the mixture of vario"us cultures of neighbouring countires. prehistoric scripts tend to manisfest that the use of iron,copper, bronze and other alloys were in extreme use.
A long interval after the harrapan civilization, diverse region of india gone through many changes and development. This is the age when people living on the bank of the indus river and its tributaries wrote "rigveda" -the first and the oldest religious text of any indo-iranian language, it is the collection of sanskrit hindu hymns, which was written around roughly 1700-1100 B.C. Historians gave idea that in the area of North india, deccan plateau and  karnataka emerged with small group of farmers and the southern region comprised of shepherds. In the first century we got the evidences of burying the dead bodies with tools and utensils and new techniques of funeral can be seen.With 6th century the emergence of empires,states the development of the indian territory went on and on.with the development of agriculture the new colonies developed. Many historians found some incriptions, epics, and images that described about serial progression.

Civilization
Cilvilization is a word derived from the word "Civis" which means to live in a Town. A civilized person is said to be civilized when he or she is living in a developed group than other. When a particular group of person lives in a large organized groups like in Town rather living in tribes or small isolated groups.it is advanced stage of "Organization"

First civilization emerged in indian territory was Indus Valley civilization which came around "2500 B.C"
