The origins of Iron-working in India. Recent excavations in Uttar Pradesh have turned up iron artefacts, furnaces, tuyeres and slag in layers radiocarbon dated between c. BCE 1800 and 1000.
Native copper, i.e. copper metal, is thought to have been the first metal used by man and may have used in ancient Turkey and Mesopotamia by about the seventh millennium BC.
The plough, iron and the horse of a superior breed began to be used in India by a new set of people of a new social
order, sometimes referred to as Aryans. Their thoughts and practices have come down in the history in the form of
several literary compositions known as vedas. Hence their culture is termed vedic culture and it began some time
during pre-Buddhist period. It is difficult to put an exact date on its origins. Max Muller [I] suggested that the vedic
literature in India began around 1200 BC whereas Leopold von Schroeder [2] and Bal Gangadhar Tilak [3] suggest
on the basis of astronomical grounds that the vedic literature has its origins around 1500 BC. Winternitz [4] from an
analysis of different studies concluded that vedic age in India began between 2000 - 2500 BC and ended between
750-500 BC.
