•India is huge. In fact, it is so big that many geographers call it a subcontinent. A subcontinent is a large landmass that is smaller than a continent. Subcontinents are usually separated from the rest of their continents by physical features. Most of India has a hot and humid climate. This climate is heavily influenced by India’s monsoons, seasonal wind patterns that cause wet and dry seasons.

Life in Mohenjo Daro
![Page 7: World history By: Lily Andrade](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681521d550346895dc060e8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Life in Mohenjo DaroMohenjo Daro was one of the two major cities of the Harappan civilization. Located next to the Indus River in what is now Pakistan, the city probably covered one square mile. The people who lived in the city enjoyed some of the most advanced comforts of their time, including indoor plumbing.

Indus River and Harappan Civilization
![Page 10: World history By: Lily Andrade](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681521d550346895dc060e8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Centered along the Indus, the civilization also controlled large areas on both sides of the river. Like other ancient societies you have studied, the Harappan civilization grew as irrigation and agriculture improved. As farmers began to produce surpluses of food, towns and cities appeared in India.

Aryan Invasions
![Page 12: World history By: Lily Andrade](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681521d550346895dc060e8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Aryan Invasions
The Aryans were skilled warriors. Using chariots and advanced weapons, these invaders took new territory. By 1200 BC Aryan warriors had swept through the Hindu Kush and taken control of the entire Indus Valley. From there they moved east to the Ganges River Valley.

Indian Society Divides – The Varnas
![Page 14: World history By: Lily Andrade](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681521d550346895dc060e8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Indian Society Divides – The VarnasAccording to the Vedas, there were four main varnas, or social divisions, in Aryan society. These varnas were: The Brahmins were seen as the highest ranking because they performed rituals for the gods. This gave the Brahmins great influence over the other varnas.

Major Beliefs of Hinduism
![Page 16: World history By: Lily Andrade](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681521d550346895dc060e8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Major Beliefs of Hinduism
1. A universal spirit called Brahman created the universe and everything in it. Everything in the world is just part of Braham. 2. Every person has a soul or atman that will eventually join with the Brahman. 3. People’s souls are reincarnated many times before they can join with Brahman. 4. A person’s karma affects how her or she will be reincarnated.

Brahmanism
![Page 18: World history By: Lily Andrade](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681521d550346895dc060e8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Brahmanism
Religion had been an important part of Aryan life even before the Aryans moved to India. Eventually, in India, religion took on even more meaning. Because Aryan priests were called Brahmins, their religion is often called Brahmanism.

Reincarnation
a Hindu and Buddhist belief that souls are born and reborn many times, each time into a new body

Karma
![Page 22: World history By: Lily Andrade](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681521d550346895dc060e8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Karma
the effects that good or bad actions have on a person’s soul. Evil actions during one’s life will build bad karma. A person with bad karma will be born into a lower caste or life form, such as a pig or an ant. In contrast, good actions build good karma. People with good karma are born into a higher caste in their next lives. In time, good karma will bring salvation, or freedom from life’s worries and the cycle of rebirth. This salvation is called moksha.

Hinduism and Caste System
![Page 24: World history By: Lily Andrade](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681521d550346895dc060e8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Hinduism and Caste System
Hinduism taught that each person had a duty to accept his or her place in the world without complaint. This is called obeying one’s dharma. A caste system divided people into groups based on wealth and status. People lived their lives by associating with only others of the same caste.

Nonviolence
![Page 26: World history By: Lily Andrade](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681521d550346895dc060e8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Nonviolence
In modern times, nonviolence has been a powerful tool for social protest. Mohandas Gandhi led a long nonviolent struggle against British rule in India. This movement helped India win its independence in 1947. About 10 years later, Martin Luther King Jr. adopted Gandhi’s nonviolent methods in his struggle to win civil rights for African Americans. Then, in the 1960s, Cesar Chavez organized a campaign of non- violence to protest the treatment of farm workers in California. These three leaders proved that people can bring about social change without using violence. As Chavez once explained, “Nonviolence is not inaction. It is not for the timid or the weak. It is hard work. It is the patience to win”.

The Great Departure
Prince Siddhartha leaves his palace to search for the true meaning of life, an event known as the Great Departure. Siddhartha Gautama was about 35 years old when he found enlightenment under the tree. From that point on, he would be called the Buddha (BOO-duh), or the “Enlightened One.” The Buddha spent the rest of his life traveling across northern India and teaching people his ideas.

Buddhism and Four Noble Truths
![Page 32: World history By: Lily Andrade](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681521d550346895dc060e8/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Buddhism and Four Noble Truths
1.
Suffering and unhappiness are a part of human life. No one can escape sorrow.
2.
Suffering comes from our desires for pleasure and material goods. People cause their own misery because they want things they cannot have.
3.
People can overcome desire and ignorance and reach nirvana (nir-VAH-nuh), a state of perfect peace. Reaching nirvana frees the soul from suffering and from the need for further reincarnation.
4.
People can overcome ignorance and desire by following an eightfold path that leads to wisdom, enlightenment, and salvation.
At the heart of the Buddha’s teachings were four guiding principles. These became known as the Four Noble Truths:

The Buddha Challenges Hindu Ideas
Some of the Buddha’s teachings challenged traditional Hindu ideas. For example, the Buddha rejected many of the ideas contained in the Vedas, such as animal sacrifice. He told people that they did not have to follow these texts.

Early Spread of Buddhism
![Page 36: World history By: Lily Andrade](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681521d550346895dc060e8/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Early Spread of Buddhism
The spread of Buddhism increased after one of the most powerful kings in India, Asoka, became Buddhist in the 200s BC. Once he converted, he built Buddhist temples and schools throughout India. More importantly, though, he worked to spread Buddhism into areas outside of India.

Mauryan Empire, c. 320-185 BC
The Mauryan Empire unified most of India. Mauryan troops used war elephants in battle, striking fear in their enemies. As the elephants charged forward into battle, soldiers on top hurled spears at their enemies.

Gupta Empire, c. 400 and Hinduism
Indian civilization flourished under the Gupta rulers. These rulers were Hindu, so Hinduism became India’s major religion. The Gupta kings built many Hindu temples, some of which became models for later Indian architecture. They also promoted a revival of Hindu writings and worship practices.

Asoka
(uh-SOH-kuh) (ruled 270–232 BC) Ruler of the Mauryan Empire, he extended his control over most of India and promoted the spread of Buddhism. Asoka is one of the most respected rulers in Indian history and one of the most important figures in the history of Buddhism. As a devout Buddhist, Asoka worked to spread the Buddha’s teachings. In addition to sending missionaries around Asia, he built huge columns carved with Buddhist teachings all over India. Largely through his efforts, Buddhism became one of Asia’s main religions.

Temple Architecture
Another type of Buddhist temple was the stupa. Stupas had domed roofs and were built to house sacred items from the life of the Buddha. Many of them were covered with detailed carvings.

Indian Science
The ancient Indians were pioneers of metallurgy (MET-uhl-uhr-jee), the science of working with metals. Their knowledge allowed them to create high-quality tools and weapons. The Indians also knew processes for mixing metals to create alloys, mixtures of two or more metals. Alloys are sometimes stronger or easier to work with than pure metals.
