History of India

Hey fellow adventurers! First of all, I’m really sorry that this was posted so late! I didn’t realize how long it would take to write this blog post and I promise, I’ll try to keep this a one-time occurrence. Thank you so much for being patient as I write this!

India has a long and convoluted history but I’ll try my best to cover it accurately while still making it an amusing read. India has been orally passing down information from kin to kin since before the writing system was developed. And because of that, there are people still preforming rituals from 3,000 years ago. 3,000 years! Most of the information we know about the preliterate period comes from a large body of texts written in the 5th century BCE called the Vedas. This body of texts was written by priests, philosophers and poets and stores previously undocumented works from 1500-500 BCE. If you want to learn more, check the links below. I got a lot of the last part of the timeline from this source: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-south-asia-12641776.
