Knowing the Past
The lives of ancient people, things such as their eating habits, clothes, types of houses they lived in, etc., were very interesting. And we can learn about the earliest farmers, herders, hunters, rulers, merchants, priests, musicians, artists, scientists and craftspeople by conducting research.
People started living on the banks of rivers like Narmada or the Ganges thousands of years ago. At first, they were skilled gatherers and hunters. But because the land around the rivers was very fertile, they settled down and became farmers and animal herders.
This is how society and civilisation started, around 5,000 years ago. And soon, small groups of farmers and herders (near the banks of rivers and their tributaries, and near sea coasts) grew bigger and became villages and cities.
Magadha was one of the sixteen Maha-Janapadas or kingdoms in ancient India. The centre of Magadha was the area of Bihar, south of the Ganges.
People travelled from one part of the subcontinent to another, through hills and mountains, seas and deserts. And they moved to escape war and natural disasters, in search of new livelihoods, to spread their businesses, or to learn and teach about new places and religions. Of course, many people set up new homes in faraway places to enjoy adventure and discovery.
These movements of people enriched (added to) the cultural and social traditions. And we can see many of them around us even today!
