Presentation by Nayan Chakravarty
INDIA
Ancient
history of India enchants everyone who visits the country. It started from Indus valley civilization
more than 5000 years ago. It followed with Aryan invasion in 1500 BC which laid
the foundation of present day India. Around 500BC, country was pretty much
divided into smaller kingdoms. The name India was coined during this era from
river Indus by Greeks. People living on the other side of Indus were known as
Hindus (Again derived from Indus).
From
Alexander (450 BC) till British East India Company (1947 AD), India saw rise
and fall of many great kingdoms. However, it also shaped the varied culture and
diversity in the Indian subcontinent which we see today.
In
the presentation I am going to share my experience in India through the eyes of
my lens.
I
will cover the following cities/topics:
Varanasi (My hometown and one of the
oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world)
Sarnath (where Buddha gave his first
sermon)

Vijayenagar Empire)
