Cave painting at Bhimbetka.

Almost all early painting in India survives in caves, as very few buildings from ancient India survive,

and though these were probably often painted, the work has been lost. The history of cave

paintings in India or rock art range from drawings and paintings from prehistoric times, beginning

around 30,000 BCE in the caves of Central India, typified by those at the Bhimbetka rock shelters to

elaborate frescoes at sites such as the rock‐cut artificial caves at Ajanta and Ellora, extending as

late as the 8th ‐ 10th century CE.

Around 8000 B.C. a new age began that came to be called the Neolithic, or new stone, Age. At one

time experts believed that the main difference between the Neolithic and Paleolithic Ages was the

way in which people worked with stone. During the Paleolithic Age they shaped stone by chipping.

During the Neolithic Age they shaped by grinding. Today experts know much more about

prehistoric people. They now believe that the main difference between the two Ages centers on

how people got their food. Paleolithic people obtained their food by hunting and gathering.

Neolithic people obtained most of their food from farming.

Read the passage carefully to understand and answer

In the 1 6th century BC, ancient India had a number of kingdoms which emerged during the Vedic

Age . This period saw socio-economic development along with religious and political developments

across the Indo-Gangetic plain. These permanent settlements led to the evolution from janapadas

to mahajanpadas. By sixth century BC, the centre of major political activity shifted from western part

of Gangetic plain to the eastern part, comprising the present day Bihar and eastern UP. Major

reason for this shift was, the fertile lands of this area with better rainfall and rivers, their closeness

to iron production centers also played a key role. In fact, it was the increased use of iron tools and

weapons that enabled small states to become kingdoms, known as Mahajanapadas.

The Indus Valley Civilization (IVC) was a Bronze Age civilization (3300–1300 BCE; mature period

2600–1900 BCE, pre‐Harappa cultures starting c.7500 BCE) in northwest Indian subcontinent

(including present day Pakistan, northwest India) and also in some regions in northeast

Afghanistan. It was half a century later, in 1912, that more Harappan seals were discovered by J.

Fleet, prompting an excavation campaign under Sir John Hubert Marshall in 1921‐22 and resulting

in the discovery of the civilization at Harappa by Sir John Marshall, Rai Bahadur Daya Ram Sahni

and Madho Sarup Vats, and at Mohenjo‐daro

1 Name some of the Harappan seals that you are familiar with?

2 Who discovered the city of Harappa?

The Rig Veda is hard to translate accurately, because it is the oldest Indo‐Aryan text, composed in

the archaic Vedic Sanskrit. There are no closely contemporary extant texts, which makes it difficult

to interpret. The Rig Veda is a collection of Vedic Sanskrit hymns counted among the four Hindu

religious texts known as the Vedas. The Rig Veda was likely composed between roughly 1700–1100

BCE, making it one of the oldest texts of any Indo‐Iranian language, one of the world's oldest

religious texts.

a. Name the other three Vedas? b. Why Rig Veda is the oldest text? c. What does the term Veda mean?

Emperor Ashoka (304‐232 BCE) was the third king of the Maurya 1 Dynasty. He ruled a truly

massive kingdom that stretched from the Hindu Kush to the Bay of Bengal. It was India's first great

empire. It is not just that Ashoka ably ruled this huge empire but the quality of social justice that he

brought to his already strong administration.

Remorseful after his bloody campaign and conquest of Kalinga, Ashoka embraced Buddhism.

Thereafter reverence for life, tolerance, compassion and peaceful co‐existence were the

cornerstones of his administration. Under him the earliest known bans on slavery and capital

punishment as well as environmental regulations came into place.
