"India is the cradle of
the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history,
grandmother of legend, and great grand mother of tradition. Our most
valuable and most instructive materials in the history of man are
treasured up in India only." Mark Twain
Ancient India
3000BC-1736AD
A civilization far older
than most of the empires and cultures in the west, India developed a legal
code, religion, government and culture radically different. It has been
invaded by many other civilizations, cultures and individuals but it
always maintained it's uniqueness. It has learned to adapt to the invaders
and absorb their cultures. India thus has a multitude of languages,
traditions and ways of thinking which is unique in the world.
