It begins with the Indus Valley Civilization, one of the world’s oldest urban cultures, followed by the Vedic period and the rise of major empires like the Mauryas and Guptas. The medieval era saw the arrival of Islamic rulers, including the Mughal Empire, which left a lasting cultural and architectural legacy. British colonialism profoundly impacted India, leading to the struggle for independence, culminating in 1947. The history reflects India’s complex blend of diverse cultures, religions, and political systems.
