 INDIA IS GREAT COUNTRY WITH VARIETY OF CULTURES, LANGUAGES, RELIGIONS, STATES, COLOURS, PEOPLES AND ALL. IT'S THE MAIN FEATURE OF INDIA. IN THIS ARTICLE WE DISCUSSING ABOUT THE HISTORY OF INDIA...

1. Mahada excavations

 The culture of present India is related with Mahada excavations. Excavations at Mahada have turned up the skeletons of one community of hunter gatherers; they were almost all around twenty years old, one was around thirty, none was over forty. Their material life, though, is depicted with brilliant vivacity on Late Middle Stone Age paintings in the caves at Bhimbetka, which show the communal animal hunts, the killings and propitiatory ceremonies of these hunter gatherers

2. Meghrgarh excavations 
It is one of important part of Indian history, this excavations were lived  in Baluchistan. The site spreads along the Bolan river, where the water comes down steel blue and cold across a gravel bed a couple of hundred yards wide. the river has a great influence on this community, rivers changed this community. . The first examination thirty years ago brought mind-boggling results. Charcoal from one of the early levels gave a carbon date of the sixth millennium BC, and there were 30 feet more debris underneath it! To their amazeent, the French team realized they had a site going back to before 7000 BC, not just centuries, but millenia earlier than anything yet known in the subcontinent.

3. Mohenjetharo
mohenjatharo civilization is a great civilization,this community was just related to modern community.The discoveries of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro. The finds at Harappa, and at Mohenjo-Daro in Sind in late 1923, took place in the same period of eighteen months or so that saw Leonard Woolley excavate the tombs of Ur in Iraq, and, of course, Howard Carter's discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun. Although the finds at Harappa were less spectacular in terms of artifacts, the significance of the dig went way beyond either. The discoveries here and at Mohenjo-Daro represented the beginning of the history of the Indian subcontinent, taking its cities back to 3000 BC - before the Pyramids of Gaza.

4.The Indus civilization :This is one of biggest civilization in the world, It was bigger in area than Egypt and Mesopotamia or any other ancient civilization. We now know there were over 2000 major settlements, extending as far as the Oxus river in northern Afghanistan, some of which were big, planned cities on the Near Eastern model. Most of its mounds remain unexplored, including several huge ones near Harappa. Not only were they vast, they were also populous. The size of the civilization is estimated at anywhere between 2 million and 5 million people, although no one knows for certain.....

5.Aryans age 
 This word (Aryan) is used by the early Sanskrit speakers, the Rig-Vedic people, to describe themselves; it means 'noble ones', and comes from the same linguistic root as the names Eire and Iran - 'the land of the Aryans'. But the whole question of the Aryans is now massively controversial in India.

Rig-VedaIt is a collection of notoriously riddling and difficult texts, full of inscutable allusions, in very archaic language. The majority are hymns of praise and supplication addressed to the gods; many sing the delight of soma, the sacred drink; there are also battle songs that celebrate the crushing of enemies, and verses giving thanks in response to the gifts of chieftains (a well- known genre in Anglo-Saxon and Old Norse poetry too).
