Aryan tribes from the northwest infiltrated onto the Indian subcontinent
about 1500 B.C.; their merger with the earlier Dravidian inhabitants created
the classical Indian culture.
nThe Maurya Empire of the 4th and 3rd centuries B.C. - which reached its
zenith under ASHOKA - united much of South Asia.
nThe Golden Age ushered in by the Gupta dynasty (4th to 6th centuries
A.D.) saw a flowering of Indian science, art, and culture.
nArab incursions starting in the 8th century and Turkic in the 12th were
followed by those of European traders, beginning in the late 15th century.
nBy the 19th century, Britain had assumed political control of virtually all
Indian lands. Indian armed forces in the British army played a vital role in
both World Wars.
nNonviolent resistance to British colonialism led by Mohandas GANDHI and
Jawaharlal NEHRU brought independence in 1947.
nThe subcontinent was divided into the secular state of India and the
smaller Muslim state of Pakistan.
nA third war between the two countries in 1971 resulted in East Pakistan
becoming the separate nation of Bangladesh.
