/Home/Historical Studies/History/Ancient Civilizations/India Jain History Votes:0 An Outline of Jain History --> J ainism is one of the oldest religions. A detailed discussion of Jain history would be very long. It covers many different periods of history. I have divided the time-scale into seven periods so that we can correlate the events within the Jain history, and can also relate the history of Jainism with other events in India and outside of India. You will note that several famous philosophers were contemporary of Lord Mahavira, and that 13-15th century was the age of reform in India as well as in Europe. I t should be recognized that as we go back in time, it becomes harder and harder to date events exactly. The dates I have given below, have been taken from several different sources. W e must distinguish between tradition and history.

The Myth of the Aryan Invasion of India By David Frawley One of the main ideas used to interpret and generally devalue the ancient history of India is the theory of the Aryan invasion. According to this account, India was invaded and conquered by nomadic light-skinned Indo-European tribes from Central Asia around 1500-100 BC, who overthrew an earlier and more advanced dark-skinned Dravidian civilization from which they took most of what Read More Go to Site Daily Life in Ancient India - Welcome to Ancient India!

Though these two cities have been excavated and exposed to the world, much is still unknown of the culture of Mohenjo-daro and Harappa. The Indus people did not engrave inscriptions on stones or place papyrus scrolls in the tombs of their dead; all we know of their writing is derived from the simple inscriptions on their seals. Several efforts have been made to decipher the Indus seals, but none have truly succeeded this far; there is some notion that these seals could have been used as markers in tra Read More Go to Site HISTORY, INDIA, Science, Technology - Technological discoveries,applications, inventions Votes:0 SOUTH ASIAN HISTORY Pages from the history of the Indian sub-continent Technological discoveries and applications in India The earliest evidence of technological progress in the Indian subcontinent is to be found in the remains of the Harappan civilization (4000-3000 BC). Archaeological remains point to the existence of well-planned urban centres that boasted of private and public dwellings laid out in orderly fashion along with roads and drainage systems complementing them. The drainage systems were particularly remarkable for the times since they were built underground and were constructed in a manner to allow for regular cleaning. Smaller drains from private homes connected to the larger public drains. Larger private dwellings were invariably multi-storied and all homes were constructed Read More Go to Site In 324 BCE, Chandragupta, ruler of the Mauryan Empire set out to conquer the weaker surrounding kingdoms to expand the territory of his people Votes:0 Kevin Wold's web page for those who seek enlightenment. The Life Of Ashoka Mauryan In 324 BCE, Chandragupta, ruler of the Mauryan Empire set out to conquer the weaker surrounding kingdoms to expand the territory of his people. As an explorer by nature, Chandragupta would travel to other lands to determine weather or not their defenses could put up much of a struggle. His military, while not extraordinary, devastated the primitive neighbors and avoided those that could not be won in a day. With cautious technique and determination the emperor spread his boundaries in every direction. With the aid of a Brahman statesman named Kautilya, who organized the political hierarchy of command, Chandragupta became the first to rule over a unified India. Chandragupta governed the land as best he knew u Read More Go to Site India Votes:0 India Alexander in India Before Alexander crossed into India in 327 B.C.E., he felt the necessity to trim down the army that he had led through Persia to accommodate the different climate and terrain that they would face. He burned all of the baggage wagons of Persian booty that hindered his mobility, and he dismissed a large number of his soldiers, reshaping his army with several thousand Persian cavalrymen. The greatest of Alexander's battles in India was against Porus, one of the most powerful Indian leaders, at the river Hydaspes in July 326 B.C.E. Alexander's army crossed the heavily defended river in dramatic fashion during a violent thunderstorm to meet Porus' forces. The Indians were defeated in a fierce battle, even though they fought with elephants, which the Macedonians had neve Read More Go to Site Indian mathematics Index Votes:0 History Topics: Index of Ancient Indian mathematics Articles on Indian Mathematics An overview of Indian mathematics Indian numerals The Indian Sulbasutras Jaina mathematics The Bakhshali manuscript A history of Zero History of Pi Chronology of Pi Indian Mathematics: Redressing the balance (Ian G Pearce) Ancient Indian mathematicians in our archive in chronological order 800 BC Baudhayana 600 Bhaskara I 1060 Brahmadeva 750 BC Manava 720 Lalla 1114 Bhaskara II 600 BC Apastamba 800 Govindasvami 1340 Mahendra Suri 520 BC Panini 800 Mahavira 1340 Narayana 200 BC Katyayana 830 Prthudakasvami 1350 Madhava 120 AD Yavanesvara 840 Sankara 1370 Paramesvara 476 Aryabhata I 870 Sridhara 1444 Nilakantha 500 Yativrsabha 920 Aryabhata II 1500 Jyesthadeva 505 Varahamihira 940 Vijayanandi 1616 Kamalakara 5 Read More Go to Site itihaas.com Votes:0 itihaas.com Search the Web: Books Christian Books Book Reviews Childrens Books New Book Book Publishers Audio Books Books Christian Books Book Reviews Childrens Books New Book Book Publishers Audio Books Book Club Buy Books Free Books Rare Books Christian Books Christian Booksellers Used Books Christian Book Sellers Life Christian Book Store Book Reviews Buy Books Novelist Book Review Saul Bellow Childrens Books Book Store Childrens Book Store Harpercollins Usborne Books ©2007 itihaas.com All rights reserved.

Did this region have one language or many? Did it have one language family or many? In which script, or scripts, were they written? These questions cannot be answered by the linguist alone. To answer them one needs the help of the archaeologist, the historian and the anthropologist.

This is a critical task that must be completed in its entirety. This includes the history, culture and present condition of African people both at home and abroad.

But when they found themselves conquerors, they gave themselves the name "superior" or "noble." They were a tribal and nomadic peoples living in the far reaches of Euro-Asia in hostile steppe lands barely scratching out a living. They were unquestionably a tough people, and they were fierce and war-like. Their religion reflects it dominated as it is by a storm-god or sky-god that enjoins warfare and conquest. This god was called something like "Dyaus," a word related to "Zeus," "deus" (the Latin word for "god"), "deva" (the Sanskrit word for "god"), and, of course, the English word "divine." Their culture was oriented around warfare, and they were very good at it.

There they grew barley and wheat using sickles with flint blades, and they lived in small houses built with adobe bricks. After 5000 BCE the climate in their region changed, bringing more rainfall, and apparently they were able to grow more food, for they grew in population. They began domesticating sheep, goats and cows Read More Go to Site The Mauryans, 321-185 BC Votes:0 Chandragupta Maurya (321-297 BC) He was an adventurer rather than a king. Like Alexander, he began with almost no army whatsoever; with this army he seized the region of Magadha just south of the lower Ganges and then steadily conquered the whole of the Ganges basin. Chandragupta Maurya had started his empire. When Alexander the Great departed from Gandhara, a power vacuum was left in western India which Maurya took advantage of. Marching westward, he quickly conquered the whole of the Indus Valley, and eventually gained Gandhara and Arachosia (the mountainous region west of the Indus) after defeating the Greek rulers of Persia and Bactria, the Seleucids. Hand in hand with this ambitious conqueror was a shrewd and calculating Brahman named Kautilya.
