INDIA

INDIAN ECONOMY - India's economic history can be broadly divided into three eras, beginning with the pre-colonial period lasting up to the 17th century. The advent of British colonisation started the colonial period in the 17th century, which ended with independence in 1947. India's economy is diverse, encompassing agriculture, handicrafts, textile, manufacturing, and a multitude of services.



INDIAN SOCIETY - Indian society is an extent perhaps unknown in any other of the world's great civilizations.



HISTORY OF INDIA - The history of India begins with the Indus Valley Civilization, which flourished in the north-western part of the Indian subcontinent from 3300 to 1700. Islam arrived on the subcontinent early in the 8th century CE with the conquest of Baluchistan and Sindh by Muhammad bin Qasim. During the first half of the 20th century, a nationwide struggle for independence was launched by the Indian National Congress, and later joined by the Muslim League. The subcontinent gained independence from Great Britain in 1947.
