Edit 2 Line 185 to 194 Current: Powerful people (warlords) took control of the tribes in larger areas and eventually the strongest warlords formed states or city­states with governments headed by kings or, very occasionally, queens, often claiming authority from gods and passing on power to their own descendants. Supported by political elites (nobles, officials, warriors) and priests, these monarchs imposed taxes on ordinary city dwellers and rural people to pay for bureaucracies, armies, irrigation works, and monumental architecture. Writing systems were first invented to serve governments, religions, and merchants, and later became means of transmitting religious, scientific, and literary ideas.

  • Status of Women in Ancient India
    International Multidisciplinary e –Journal/Author : Dr.Baltinder Kaur (190-194) Status Of Women In Ancient India Dr.Baltinder Kaur Principal Kirpal Sagar College Of Education S.B.S Nagar The position of woman reflects the cultural, aesthetic, moral and spiritual attainment of society. The elevation of the feminine principles pervades Vedic thought. Woman enjoyed an almost equal status with man in Rigvedic period. This is well-evident from well-known aphorism ‘Jayedastam’ which means that wife is the home. The mother in the household sets the model for the conception of the Rigvedic goddesses v iz . ‘Aditi’ the eternal mother of all being, ‘Indrani’ the imperious mistress of the household; ‘Vak’, 'the eternal cosmic energy of the universe', ‘Saraswati’ the pattern of fine arts and learning; ‘Usha’, the breath and life of all beings; ‘Ila’, 'the first teacher; Bharti 'the all surpassing goddess of speech and so on. Ordinarily girls were, no doubt, less welcome than boys. Since exceptions are always there, in this age there were some parents in society who would perform special religious rituals for their good luck of getting learned and capable daughters. Girls were educated like boys. Atharvaveda observes that a maiden can succeed in her marriage only if she has been properly trained during the period of studentship. During this period itself there was emergence of a good number of highly educated women who were well versed in art of writing poetry. Lopamudra Visvavara, Sikata, Nivavari and Ghosha made rich contribution to the vedic hymn. Not only this the women scholars like Sulabha Maitreyi, Vadava Prathiteyi and Gargi Vachaknavi made great original contribution to the advancement of education.

  • History of India
    HISTORY OF INDIA VOLUME - 1 History of India Edited by A. V. Williams Jackson, Ph.D., LL.D., Professor of Indo-Iranian Languages in Columbia University Volume 1 – From the Earliest Times to the Sixth Century, B.C. By: Romesh Chunder Dutt, C.I.E. 1906 Reproduced by Sani H. Panhwar (2018) Introduction by the Editor Not the least historic of the ancient nations of the East is India, even when compared with Egypt and its monuments, China and its annals, or Assyria and Babylonia with their cuneiform tablets and their cylinders. India’s earliest records, written in its literature, have been inscribed in the hearts of the people for more than three thousand years; and from that remote age its history is recorded in an almost unbroken line to this very century, so that he who will may follow its development through the early centuries that preceded the Christian era, onward through the medieval period of Mohammedan rule, down to the days when the Europeans entered India and the country came under British dominion. The aim of this series of volumes is to present a continuous narrative of the history of India from the dim ages of the past down to the present time, combining into an organic whole a succession of standard works by recognized authorities, each a master of the special period with which he deals, thus providing a complete picture of the development of the country whose teeming millions are now under the sceptre of Great Britain. In carrying out this design, the publishers and the editor have had the generous assistance of the scholars whose work is represented by these volumes.
