Ancient History Of India: If the history of India is included in the great chapters of the world, then it cannot be called an exaggeration at all. Explaining this, Jawaharlal Nehru i.e. the first Prime Minister of India had said that it is full of contradictions but strong ideals are tied with threads. The specialty of Ancient History of India is that it is engaged in a continuous process of self-discovery and keeps on increasing day by day and that is why if someone tries to understand it in the first place, then he finds it elusive.
The Ancient History of India is approx 75000 years old and its influence is found from the human activity of Homo sapiens. It is a very special thing that 5000 years ago the people of Indus Valley Civilization had developed an urban culture based on agriculture and trade.
