INDIA
The history of India is very interesting. And if you plan on visiting India, it helps if you enrich yourself in their history to really enjoy your trip. It all started when around 1500 BC people supposedly from Persia migrated to India and settled in the northern regions. Later on, they picked up the Hindu and Buddhist religions. Then a lot of time passes and an empire is formed. It was called the Maurya Empire, formed by an Indian Dynasty. Time passes and the Maurya Empire no longer rules. India became very weak but it was suddenly picked up by an Eastern India trade company which made India the richest and most successful country in the world. Britain saw this success and took over rule in 1858. This lasted for over 90 years but Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi influenced millions and Britain was forced to leave after WWII due to a speculation that a civil war would break out. Soon after Britain left, Jawaharlal Nehru took over as the first prime minister of India. To this day, India has stayed a independent country. |
