Question

How did the use of iron transform agriculture in India? Please answer me quickly.....

Answer 1

In the prehistory of the Indian subcontinent, an "Iron Age" is recognized as succeeding theLate Harappan (Cemetery H) culture.[1] The main Iron Age archaeological cultures of present-day northern India are the Painted Grey Ware culture (1200 to 600 BCE) and theNorthern Black Polished Ware (700 to 200 BCE). This corresponds to the transition of the Janapadas or tribal kingdoms of the Vedic period to the sixteen Mahajanapadas or kingdoms of the proto-historic period, culminating in the emergence of the historicalBuddhist Maurya Empire towards the end of the period.

As elsewhere, the earliest evidence of iron smelting predates the emergence of the Iron Age proper by several centuries. [2]

We often take the use of iron for granted today.Things made of iron are a part of our daily lives.The use of iron began in the subcontinent around 3000 years ago.Some of the largest collrctions of iron tools and weapons were found in the megalithic burials.
