Answer:

In the prehistory of the Indian subcontinent, an "Iron Age" is recognized as succeeding the Late Harappan (Cemetery H) culture.The main Iron Age archaeological cultures of present-day northern India are the Painted Grey Ware culture (1300 to 300 BCE) and the Northern Black Polished Ware (700 to 200 BCE). This corresponds to the transition of the Janapadas or principalities of the Vedic period to the sixteen Mahajanapadas or region-states of the early historic period, culminating in the emergence of the Maurya Empire towards the end of the period.

The earliest evidence of iron smelting predates the emergence of the Iron Age proper by several centuries.

The extraordinary contribution of medical science in India in the Iron Age.

  • There is ample evidence that India, with its rich cultural legacy, has been at the forefront in contributing to medical knowledge. The history of Indian medicine dates back to the Vedic era. The Ashwinikumars, who practised medicine at the time, were given a divine position.
  • The usage of iron is thought to have started with the later Vedic people's eastward migration, who are also credited with revolutionising material culture, especially in eastern Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
  • The ironworking Painted Gray Ware civilization is considered to mark the start of the Iron Age on the Indian subcontinent. According to recent estimates, it spans from the 15th century BCE through Ashoka's rule in the 3rd century BCE.
  • India has made progress in the medical field.
  • smallpox, guinea worm, and polio eradication
  • Yaws and leprosy eradication
  • CCHF, the plague, leptospirosis, and avian influenza are all contained.
  • Through concerted effort, cholera—which was extremely common—was brought under control.
  • India has a long history of using medicine. The sacred texts known as the Vedas, particularly the metrical parts of the Atharvaveda, which may perhaps date as far back as the second millennium BCE, lay forth its fundamental conceptions.
  • A later author said that a specific Dhanvantari acquired the Ayurvedic medical system from the god Brahma, and that Dhanvantari was afterwards worshipped as the god of medicine. His stature steadily declined over time until it was said that he was an earthly monarch who died from a snakebite.
  • Up to around 800 BCE, Vedic medicine was in use. The Vedas are full of spells for curing ailments and charms to drive out the demons who are believed to be the root of illnesses.
