ANCIENT INDIAN HISTORY
Introduction

of writing and recorded human history to as far as

ANCIENT INDIAN HISTORY
Ancient History of India: India, the name comes from the Indus valley.
Before India, it is known as Bharata, it is used to designate the country
in the constitution.
The name Bharat came from the ancient mythological emperor
Bharata, according to history Bharat conquered and rule the whole
subcontinent of India, therefore, the people of India are called
Bharatvasi.

of India, Ancient Indian History, Medieval Indian History, and Modern
Indian History.
ANCIENT INDIAN HISTORY
—Wheeler Wilcox (American poet)
“India – The land of Vedas, the remarkable works
contain not only religious ideas for a perfect life,
but also facts which science has proved true.
Electricity, radium, electronics, airship, all was
known to the seers who founded the Vedas.”

the ancient history of India.
These two phases are known as the pre-Vedic and Vedic
periods.
Rig Veda is the earliest source of Indian history. Indus valley
civilization began between 2800 BC and 1800 BC.
The Indus valley civilization begins with the people who
started practicing agriculture making tools and weapons from
copper and bronze and domesticating animals.

generations there were several kingdoms and
dynasties which ruled in India.

Indian history
ANCIENT INDIAN HISTORY
European trading companies in India competed with each other
during the 16th and 17th centuries.
In the 18th century, the Britishers established themselves as the
dominant power in India.
The Britishers continued to dominate India for about two
centuries and this brought a revolutionary change in the social-
political and economic life of India.
After the Mughal rule, capitalization was integrated into India, the
Britishers arrived in early 1600 as traders.
ANCIENT INDIAN HISTORY
Indian independence
movement (1885–
1947)
ANCIENT INDIAN HISTORY
The numbers of British in India were small, yet they were able to rule
52% of the Indian subcontinent directly and exercise considerable
leverage over the princely states that accounted for 48% of the area.
One of the most important events of the 19th century was the rise of
Indian nationalism, leading Indians to seek first "self-rule" and later
"complete independence".
However, historians are divided over the causes of its rise. Probable
reasons include a "clash of interests of the Indian people with British
interests", "racial discriminations",and "the revelation of India's past".
The first step toward Indian self-rule was the appointment of councillors
to advise the British viceroy in 1861 and the first Indian was appointed
in 1909. Provincial Councils with Indian members were also set up
