Magnificent India
Modern day Indian culture has been influenced by foreign invaders, settlers and colonizers. This has often left people wondering as to the origins of Indian culture. The present theory is that Dravidians were the original settlers who were chased to the south by the Aryans during their migrations from Central Asia. With time however, their traditions merged and as a result, throughout India today, traditions are quite similar.
Records of Indian people and their culture are also found in the four Vedas, ancient books of knowledge. The Rig Veda, the first of the Vedas, is the oldest book humanity possesses. It is supposed to have been written in 1500 BC. The other Vedas, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda and Athar Veda, all date back to 1000 BC.
The Indian government supports a mixed economy,
most of which is in the control of private enterprise. Under a policy announced
in 1956, the government undertook a plan to nationalize entire segments of the
economy, while leaving other sectors subject to varying degrees of government
planning and control. Nearly 250 corporations are owned by the state today.
Some Dates has changed the history of India. May be today... we are here because of that decisive incidents.
In spite of being under the British rule for a long period, India borrowed heavily from English and American constitutions while framing her own Constitution after independence.
