1. Chapter 6 Breakdowns Important people: Kautilya is the founder of the Mauryan Empire. Buddha was the enlightened one. This man created Buddhism and the Four Noble Truths. Important places: Pataliputra was the capital of the Mauryan Empire. Important works of literature and/or art: Hindu Temple at Khajuraho was built to represent the high of their gods. Stone Relief Depicting Vishnu asleep and dreaming on the Ocean Floor represents the god of Preservation. Items exchange between Regions: The Indo-Europeans that were located in India gave showed the people of Southeast Asia an easy and efficient way of irrigation. Turning points: 1000 BCE is the conquest of the Ganges Plains by the Indo-Europeans. 600 BCE the Rise of the Mauryan Empire. Changes-over-time: In ca.1500 B.C.E the migration of the Indo-European peoples into northwest India take place leading to the Indo-European groups moving into the Ganges plains to find new and fertile land by ca. 1000 B.C.E. Followed. In ca. 500 B.C.E. Siddhartha Gautama known as Buddha finding of Buddhism which is set on four noble truths 1.is that life is suffering 2.suffering arises from desire 3. The solution to suffering lies in curbing desire and 4.which is that desire can be curbed if a person eightfold path of right views, aspirations, speech, conduct, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, and meditation as well as Mahavira finding Jainism. Then in 324 B.C.E in which Chandragupta Maurya becoming king of Magadha and lays the foundation for Mauryan Empire which as the first empire set and run in the region that followed almost the same as Han China. But then this empire fell in 184 B.C.E. Chandra Gupta many years later in 320 C.E. establishing the Gupta Empire which collapsed in 550 C.E. because it came under pressure from the Huns and which exhausted the imperial treasury so the economy collapsed. So the reign of Harsha Vardhana from 606 to 647 C.E. this untied northern India once more. Continuities-over-time: Swidden agriculture lifestyle in ca. 2000 B.C.E. The migration period took place at the beginning of ca. 1600 B.C.E. from mainland Southeast Asia to the islands in the Pacific and India Oceans known today as Indonesia and may be even Japan. Then in ca. 50-560 C.E. Funan dominates southern Indochina and the Isthmus of Kra. And during this reign the trade of the people and the technologies used became greater. But this reign collapses because the international trade routes changed and they no longer held a strategic position which made their economy weak so they dropped their rule of the region. And lastly a trade route was developed in ca. 500 C.E. through the Strait of Malacca which became a great trade route because sea travel expanded the ability to travel further for new things to trade for. Summary: Both India (ca.1500B.C.E -647C.E) and Southeast Asia (1000 B.C.E.-565 C.E.) may have been started around the same time by 500 years but they both expand they empires as natural as possible. Also there may have been no trade between the two regions because of the natural barrier between them. But if they were both regions would have probably flourished just fine with each other on their land because both side were peaceful. Also both where people of art which showed that they were open to other things Reaction: My reaction to this chapter was that both India and Southeast Asia both were very small cultures that became known for their religions. That the details explain very well the beginning of their culture and religion beliefs. And lastly that India was based on religions and trading. While Southeast Asia was based on getting bigger and bigger in the sea trade because they were separated mostly by water and also because it was the quickest way to transport goods.
