Vedic Period

The Vedic period marks the collection of beautiful hymns that were some composed by the Aryans which also led to the birth of Hinduism. This period also witnessed the division in the society based on the caste like Brahmins (priests), Kshatriyas (warriors), Vaishyas ( merchants) and Shudras (labourers). Later during the fifth and sixth century Gautama Buddha and Mahavira preached their philosophies which ultimately led to the birth of Buddhism and Jainism.

Indian literature like Parkrit and pali also started to flourish during the 3rd and 4th century and also during the same period Mauryan empire started to rule India. Later on Gupta dynasty started to rule during 3rd century which period is known as the ‘Golden Age of India’. Slowly different dynasties started to rule and take complete control on India.
