INDIA - CORE #4

INDIA CORE 4 PAPER Dear Sir,

India  should be the featured civilization in your exhibit because it  has changed our culture with new ideas of life, inventions, government, and much more. They were ruled by large empires and kings, supplied our world with miraculous inventions, and their geographical features have helped our world bloom to new heights. India is the best for its geography and the crops that make this settlement intriguing. They had a very hot climate with fertile land making it very easy for them to grow crops. They could supply food for their live crop and the people that lived there quite well. India also had tall mountains up north to block north winds which made the htemperature warm. This continent was a subcontinent but is also know as a peninsula . It is connected to Asia and has water around three of its sides . One of the most interesting kingdoms that existed in ancient India was the Gupta Empire. The Gupta Empire  was built next to the river. The Gupta river was a strong river that made the land very fertile. India often encountered monsoons <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff9900; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> which were strong winds that changed the temperature drastically. India is located mostly between the Tropic of Cancer and the Equator. I <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">believe <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff9900; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> India deserves to be in your special exhibit.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">India has the best politics compared to other civilizations. It has the best civilization for their <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">monarchy <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> because each ruler or king had a unique way of governing/ruling, and our government today has reflected on that by having a president. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ff00; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> India was ruled by a king, or monarchy.This civilization went back and forth from being ruled by a king, and a large empire. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The rulers were very powerful, much like our U.S. president, and they controlled over all people and decisions. Some widely known ancient Indian rulers include Gandhi, Chandragupta, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Asoka <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Maurya <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Kanishka <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">, Raj, etc. India is the best civilization because of it’s empires that have ruled (Gupta, Mauryan, and <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Mughal <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">). Their empires are very unique, and organized. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">The Gupta Empire <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> (A.D. 300-A.D. 550) took power over <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Magadha <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> (the old capital of the Mauryans). The founder of the Gupta Empire is Chandragupta I. This empire expanded through all of the northern part of India.Gupta power gave much power to local leaders. Society prospered during Chandragupta Il’s reign (A.D.374-415). The Gupta Empire ended in A.D. 550. The Mauryan Empire (540 B.C.- 320 B.C.) conquered all northwestern India up to Hindu Kush. Chandragupta Maurya established the Mauryan mpire (Maurya ruled for about 150 years). Maurya built a palace on the Ganges river, and had an army of 600,000 soldiers. Maurya gained many enemies and slept in a different room every night in dangers of assassination. In 300 B.C., he gave his throne to his son (Bindusara). The Mughal Empire (1526-1858) had a ruler named Akbar (Babur’s grandson, ruled from 1556-1605), and he was the greatest <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Mughal emperor <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">. He took throne at age 13. He married a Rajput princess and gave her government positions. Akbar made an improved tax system that helped government majorly by making taxes. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ff00; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Payments to the governmentdidn’t <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">have to be paid if harvestwas poor ( <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ff00; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">it was <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> based on the amount that the village will produce over 10-year periods). Shah Jahan made the Mughal Empire raise to it’s heights. (ruled from 1628-1658). Shah Jahan made the Mughal Empire raise to it’s heights. (ruled from 1628-1658). This empire ended in 1858 <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ff00; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">.These empires have helped us create cities,states and other land forms. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> India’s laws and rights are something that make India worth sharing and appreciative.All people must obey the king, or ruler.They’re free to wear any clothes, have any job, worship your own god (most believed in the same god), but every job you do helps the whole civilization. No specific laws were actually stated. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">We now are allowed to wear almost any clothing outside of school today. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">But some arguments over citizens’ rights, and also owning of land, lead to wars <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #f1c232; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">India is the best civilization because it’s economy was one of the best for a very large amount of time, and was very advanced. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Their money was called ‘ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ff00; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">P <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">ana’. Most Indians kept a <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">money tree, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">which was a flat piece of metal. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">It contained Indian coins on each branch, and whenever you needed a coin, you would break off a branch. This was their system of pay. The North part of India was richer (had more money and job opportunities) than the Southern part. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #f1c232; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">India had a lot of imports and exports, and would trade to many other parts of Asia, including China and other Middle Eastern countries. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This ancient civilization traded things like gold, silk, and pottery. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Trading was a way to get the goods that you wanted. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">People had jobs such as priests, ruler, scribes, dancers, hunters, fishers, butchers, boatmen, singers, etc. Many were farmers. Whether Indian people domesticated animals or farmed was based on their income and economy. Farmers grew things such as sugarcane, paddy, and <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> barley. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This a <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">ll puts India together as an amazing <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff9900; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> civilization <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">! <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #f1c232; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">They grew their crops in a rotation that we still use today so they don’t use all of the nutrients in the soil so they can’t grow that specific crop anymore. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> To help grow and have better agriculture, they used planting operations such as ploughing, tilling, reaping, threshing, and sowing. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #f1c232; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Also they would use irrigation so that they could get water to their plants.For irrigation they would use dams,canals and little water streams to keep their plants watered. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This was their unique and special irrigation system. It gave them great crops and that is what makes them a special civilization.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">India is the best civilization because they invented the base ten number system (Numerals 0-9). That impacts us greatly because it is now used <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">majorly <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">all over the world. With this big contribution to the world, we now use our everyday life styles with the base ten number system. The first decimal system was also created in India, which is what we use everyday today as well. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">But, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> the decimal system was created by the Mohenjo-Daro civilization. Their base ten number system was mainly used in decimals, as it still is today. Each number represented a place value. When you count on your ten fingers, think back and realize that the amazing India civilization brought that to you. India is also the best civilization because of their fascinating innovation of inoculation. Doctors everywhere use <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">the <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">inoculation vaccine idea first created by India. If it wasn’t for <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">this civilization’s <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> inoculation invention, how would we be the healthy <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">people <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> we are today? This innovation was a medicine that can prevent you from getting a serious disease. It’s like the shots that doctors give us today. India’s doctors found the way to cure broken bones. Also doctors in India developed skin grafting, which is <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff9900; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">now used to replace skin that is burnt and many other helpful ways. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Another useful innovation that makes India the best civilization is that it brought our words that we use today to us. What I mean by that is India’s language was the first real official language.It is called <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Sanskrit <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">. Even though we don’t use this language now, they determined and figured out the basic concepts of nouns, verbs, consonants, and vowels. The words we speak today, had originated from India. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">India is also the best because Budahyana first calculated pi. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Think o <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff9900; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">f everything pi is used for today, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> it is used for many things by many people in many parts the world. Thanks to <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">this ancient culture, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> the whole math concept <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">was brought <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> to us! <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Also, someone first calculated that the earth goes around the sun in 365 days. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Yes, the findings of astronomy in India are another reason why India truly is the best civilization. They learned how to calculate the eclipses and even found out that the sun was an actual star! The next time you see a rocket being launched into he sky, know that India’s civilization brought that whole concept to you. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This ancient culture was among the first people to play many sports and games. These activities <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">incude <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">chess, cards, polo (the game played on horseback, similar to hockey), gambling, martial arts, wrestling, and hunting wild game. Many of these games and sports are still played internationally as worldwide competitions or just a simple pastime. Without this large civilization, there would be one less after school club here at Nagel <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Middle School! <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> The modern day Indian clothing and jewelry is very similar to what was worn in those times, such as ankle bangles, modest garments that don’t show much skin, and precious stones as jewelry. I <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">ndia brought a lot of neat things to our lives today. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Two of theworlds current major religion’s originated there in India, so this makes it the most important ancient civilization. The two religions that originated in India are Hinduism and Buddhism. 6% of the world’s population today still believe in Buddhists, and 14% are Hindi. Thanks to India, 20% of the world has a religion. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">dia <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">is truly the <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> best civilization in art because there art is meaning full. All there art has something to represent such as a god,animal or something sacred to them and it can also represent different cultures. Such as <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Hinduism <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Buddhism <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">,and many others. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Buddha <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> was the god that the India civilization worshipped. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Paintings can be such as the <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Buddha <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">or a peace symbol maybe a cow because it is there sacred animal in India. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">They think of the cow as holy. They worship the cow just as they do Buddha. They rarely eat meat. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Most people <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">paint <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> about religion though painting their gods and such. Also <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">amounts of people paint through <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> the country. It was mostly the lower class who painted because the higher class men were too busy with government and other focuses in their civilization. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">India also owned a social <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">C <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">aste <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">S <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">ystem with different levels of people sorted by importance. Kings, queens, and priests were usually at the top. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Merchants were also a part oft the caste system. They were next in line. It was said that whatever your father ‘s job was, would then be your job. But, you did get a chance to become something better in the afterlife. Farmers and slaves were usually casted towards the bottom. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">All of India’s clothing, inventions, art, religion, and games were very influential on the modern world, making it the very best civilization.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">If it weren’t for India, our culture, way of governing, business, and inventions <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">, we <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> wouldn’t be anywhere close to where we are now. India is a unique and organized culture, and this should be recognized by others. Their empires and rulers changed the way we look at government, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">their creative innovations make our lives come together today. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">They had a distinguishing economic system, and beautiful geographical sites <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">and <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">landscapes <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">that <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> really <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">made <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">India the best civilization. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">So please sir, think about India as the civilization that gets to be in the outstanding muesum of yours.
