==Ancient History==
The inhabitants of the [[Indus River]] valley developed an urban culture based on commerce and sustained by agriculture. Secular chronology, which does not take into account the [[Great Flood]], dates the beginning of this civilization to around 2500 B.C. This civilization declined around 1500 B.C., probably due to environmental changes.
During the second millennium B.C., pastoral, Aryan-speaking tribes migrated from the northwest into the subcontinent, settled in the middle [[Ganges River]] valley, and adapted to antecedent cultures.

The political map of ancient and medieval India was made up of myriad kingdoms with fluctuating boundaries. In the 4th and 5th centuries A.D., northern India was unified under the [[Gupta Dynasty]]. During this period, known as India's Golden Age, [[Hindu]] culture and political administration reached new heights.
