India 5000 Years

About This Novel

It is the fulcrum between the east and west parts of Asia and a key node of the Maritime Silk Road; it is one of the four ancient civilizations alongside China and the birthplace of the third and fourth largest religions in the world. Today, its population ranks first in the world, and its influence extends beyond the Indian Ocean to cover the entire globe. It is India, a magical and contradictory country, a South Asian giant elephant living next to the Chinese dragon. Unlike Chinese history, which can be clearly divided into continuous unified dynasties, Indian history presents a sense of rupture and fragmentation. Around 3000 BC, the dawn of civilization appeared in places such as Harappa in the Indus Valley. The civilization once covered an area larger than Egypt and Mesopotamia. Around 1300 BC, a possible major drought ended the Indus Valley Civilization, and waves of Aryans poured into India. From this time until the founding of the Republic of India, the subcontinent witnessed one invasion after another by outside powers. Persians, Greeks, and Islamic forces from the northwest and Kushans and Huns from the east came to India through the Khyber Pass in the northwest of the subcontinent; while the British and French came from the sea. Before the arrival of the British, India never formed a unified nation.
