Hello Buddy... India has been a most interesting place to visit throughout your human history. Due to its geographical location the area has always been the hub of many visiting cultures, some of which have liked the place so much, that they have stayed there to evolve themselves.
To visit this huge crossroads of culture such as this land is, will also lead one to visit a junction of human faiths and religions that have formed within history, to now reflect almost every element that consists of your humans Great Test of Peace in Time. For here live the followers of the peace and faith texts that are, to list but a few, Hindu, Buddha, Islam, Sikh and Christianity.
It is strange though, that many human folk (such as the music group the Beatles) have travelled all the way to India, to find spiritual peace. Of course, if they had realised it, like the Key to peace, that particular element has always been within yourself, wherever you may live, you just have to discover it.
Welcome to my first short page of notes I hope that you find them interesting.
MY HISTORY NOTES (PAGE ONE)
Here is how monarchy development started.
2600-1500 BC Civilisation in India evolved within the Indus valley, the city states of Harappa and Mohenjo Daro became centres of early culture.
1500-1200 BC Deccan and northern India was overrun by northwest Aryan descended culture. Hinduism (Brahmanism form) developed within the country.
321 BC Northern India was united by Chandragupta, first of the Mauryan Dynasty and he formed the first Hindu Empire.
268-232 BC King Asoka fully developed the Muryan Empire and ruled two thirds of India from the Empires capital Pataliputra.
180 BC Mauryan Dynasty gave way to the Shunga Dynasty and the Hindu Empire fragmented into small Kingdoms.
320-480 AD Northern India was again reunited by the Gupta Dynasty.
500 AD The Gupta Dynasty was destroyed by invaders of the Hun culture residing in central Asia. India fragmented into many Kingdoms that indulged in war with each other.
11th-12th Centuries AD Turks, Afghans and Arabs of Muslim culture invaded northern India and indulged in war with the Kingdoms of the Rajput Princes.
In 1206 AD Delhi became the capital of a first Muslim cultured Dynasty.
14th-16th Centuries AD Southern India remained under the control of Vijayanager Hindu Dynasty, while the north and Deccan area became part of the Muslim culture Dynasty.
1498 AD Vasco Da Gama the explorer reached India and his visit prompted English, Dutch, French and Portuguese traders to visit the country.
1526 AD Saw the last Muslim culture invasion by the Babur Zhair uddin Muhammad, who at the battle of Panipat defeated the Sultan of Delhi thus establishing the Mogul Empire.
Akbar The Great (1556-1605) consolidated the Mogul Empire.
1600 English merchants form the East India Company with centres at Calcutta, Madras and Bombay.
During the 17th Century (1605 -1707) The Mogul, empire was at it's height. But in 1739 King Nadir Shah of Persia invaded India and removed much of the Mogul influence, leaving rival Indian Princes to vie for power fighting internal wars, with both the British and French supporting alternative factions.
1757 AD Robert Clive defeated Nawab of Bengal, Siraj Al Dulah, at the battle of Plassey, bringing Bengal under the control of the East India Company.
1772-1785 British Governor General of Bengal Warren Hastings formed an Indian army under British control. There followed a policy of expansion and domination of the country which during the 19th Century saw the British controlling Indian States through a series of wars with regional princes and diplomatic Pacts with others.
1857-1858 AD The Bengal army revolted against the British in what was known as the 'Indian Mutiny'. During this rebellion, rebels sought to take advantage of unrest, and restore power to a Mogul Emperor. Although the rebels were defeated, British policy changed quickly and the East India Company was dissolved, it's powers coming directly under the control of the British Crown.

Colonial era
The British Raj.
Taken from the word Rajya, this signified the period of British rule in India.
During this Time, the many warring and independent states were subjugated
and brought under the central control of Great Britain.
Although not free to self govern, and not always receiving 'fair play', this period
allowed the India/Pakistan region to develop and form the internal structures
needed that would eventually lead to free democratic nations, that had eventually achieved their own independence with both the consent, and aid of the original foreign occupiers.
