    years ago with the migration of aryans from persia
    to india. the aryans settled along the banks of indus
    valley, bringing their own cultural and religious
    habits,which later developed into a sysytem.
    • the aryans believed in deities and offered sacrifices
    as a form of honoring these deities. they also used
    animals as sacrificial offerings.these beliefs and
    practices heavily influenced the core religious traits
    abd character of hinduism(e.g.,the belief in
    hundreds of god and goddesses).
    period significant events

    3000-1500 BCE Aryans migrated to


    (Indus valley india and established
    civilization) a civilization near the
    indus river.
    1500-500 CE (vedic the vedas, the oldest
    period) scriptures of
    hinduism, were
    composed.
    500 BCE-500 the other scriptures or text of
    CE hinduism, namely, the dharma
    (epic,purganic, sutras,the shastras, the mahabharata,
    and classical the ramayana, and the puranas, were
    ages) composed. some pillars of hinduism,
    such as devotion(bhakti) and temple
    worship were developed.
    the gupta empire flourished along
    with the development of the great
    traditions of vaishnavism (focussed on
    vishnu), shaivism (focussed on shiva),
    and shaktism(focussed on devi).
    500-1200(early The gupta empire collapsed,
    and middle resulting in the development of
    medieval regional kingdoms which
    period) patronized different deities.
    religious literature, where hindu
    poet-saints recorded their
    devotional sentiments, flourished
    in vernacular ( regional) languages.
    1200-1757 muslim political power began with the
    (muslim turkish sultanate around 1200 and
    period) cultimated in the mughal (mogul)
    empire (from 1526). akbar, the
    founder of the empire, was a liberal
    emperor and allowed hindus to
    practice their religion freely. however,
    his great grandson, aurangzeb, who
    reigned from 1658-1705, restrcted
    hindu practice and demolished many
    temples.
    1757-1947 Robert clive's victory at the battle of plassey
    (british in 1757 established british supremacy in
    period) india and heralded the collapse of the
    mughal empire. At first, the british did not
    interfere with the religion and culture of the
    indian people. later , however, missionaries
    arrived and begun preaching christianity.
    Attempts to westernize and christianize india
    prompted some hindus to defend their
    religion and culture. Reformation movements
    of the 19th and20th centuries transformed
    hinduism by stimulating the tradition to
    change and adapt.
    these were
    instrumental in sowing
    the seeds of indian
    nationaliam and a
    missionary spirit that
    later brought hinduism
    to the west.
    1947- the partition of india in 1947, and the
    present resultant bloodshed, served only to
    (independe reinforce nationalistic tendencies and
    nt india) notions of india as " a hindu
    country". subsequently, the large
    number of hindu movements
    imported into the west, and wide
    migration of hidus themselves, meant
    that hinduism was no longer simply
    "the religion of india" it was
    identified as one of the major world
    religions.
