Dating back at least 5000 years, civilization in India has been a rich and complicated mix of peoples and religions. Harappa and Mohenjodaro were ancient Indian cities which existed between 3000 to 1500 BC. The Gupta dynasty ruled over a golden age for north India for about two hundred years (320-544 A.D.). In the 600s, the Indus River Valley was invaded by Arabs, who brought with them Islam, which took hold in northern India. The Sultanate of Delhi was established in 1206. In 1526, Babur established the Moghul empire, whose culture thrived under Akbar the Great. British rule in India began in the AD 1700s. Foreign domination engendered Indian nationalism, which eventually led to India winning its independence in 1947.

Indian History

The culture and history of India is considered to be dynamic, unique and intriguing, shrouded in mysticism and romanticism. According to historians, it dates back to the commencement of human existence. Thus, it is amongst the first civilizations to have come into existence.
the recorded beginnings of this great nations traces the existence of the Indus Valley Civilization ' Harappa and Mohenjo Daro. It is one of the oldest known civilizations in the world, and one of marvel; as it was a planned town, with so much of modern day amenities, minus the tele-communication systems, information technology and electricity.
One of the most unique aspects of India history is that it is dotted with constant integrating of new cultures. In fact, it is regarded as one of the most invaded and plundered nations. And in spite of this, the people always welcomed new cultures, making it the most diverse nation.
Historians have been able to trace back the history of this nation to 3000 BC (Indus Valley Civilization). It is said that the history of India commences with the Indus Valley civilization (Mohenjo Daro, Harappa, Lothal). This was followed by the Aryan invasions. These two major events define the India's history into the pre-Vedic era and the Vedic period, respectively. It was the Vedic period that gave birth to Hinduism.
Later in the fifth century, emperor Ashoka united large parts of India. He also brought Buddhism to India, having spread it widely during his reign. Islam entered India in the eighth century and by the eleventh century it became a part of the Indian cultural heritage.
Then came the European invasions that brought their cultures to be integrated into the Indian civilization. Thus, Christianity became a part of Indian society.
Through the ages India and her natives have witnessed and suffered at the hands of invaders and plunderers. The nation has been looted. But, still it never lost the very essence of their existence, which is being hospitable to their guests. While armies fought the enemies, the nation continued to intertwine the threads of a new culture into their existing quilt of diversity.
