INDIAN HISTORY History of India and its civilization dates back to at least 6500 BC which perhaps makes the oldest surviving civilization in the world. India has been a meeting ground between the East and the West. Through out its history many invaders have come to India but Indian religions allowed it to adapt to and absorb all of them. All the while, these local dynasties built upon the roots of a culture well established. India has always been simply too big, too complicated, and too culturally subtle to let any one empire dominate it for long. Based on archeological findings, Indian history can be broadly divided into five phases:
1.Saraswati (Harappan) civilization: 6500 BC - 1000 BC or also called 'Vedic period' in history of India.
2. Golden period of Indian History: 500 BC - 800 AD
3. Muslim influence in India: 1000 AD- 1700 AD
4. British period in India: 1700 AD - 1947 AD
5. Modern India: 1947 - till date
