EXPLAINATION:

Ancient History: The history of India and culture is dynamic, from the dawn of human civilization. It starts with a fascinating civilization near the Indus River and agricultural villages in southern India. India’s history is marked by the continuous integration of migrants with different cultures across India. Previous researchers found that iron, copper, and other metals were extensively used on the Indian subcontinent at an early stage, indicating the development that this area of the globe had achieved. By the end of the fourth millennium BC, India turned into a significant established civilization area.

The majority of accounts of Indian prehistory have used terminology that was previously believed to represent a global pattern of human cultural development. Apart from any universal timeline, the European notion of the Old Stone Age, or Paleolithic Period (comprising Lower, Middle, and Upper stages), remains relevant in South Asia for distinguishing technological levels. Similarly, dubbed the Indian Mesolithic Period (Middle Stone Age) typologically correlates to Europe. The Neolithic Period (New Stone Age) and Chalcolithic Period (Copper-Stone Age) are also used to refer to subsequent periods, but as archaeology has revealed more detailed cultural profiles for those periods, scholars have increasingly emphasized the subsistence bases of early societies—for example, hunting and gathering, pastoralism, and agriculture. The terms Early Harappan and Harappan (named after the site where the remains of a major city of the Indus civilization were discovered in 1921) are used primarily chronologically but also loosely in a cultural sense, referring to the periods or cultures that preceded the appearance of city life in the Indus valley and to the Indus civilization
