Answer» ian subcontinent is the site of a civilization as ancient as any in the world. City states arose in North India, along the Indus RIVER, at about the same time as the EARLY civilizations of the Tigris-Euphrates at Sumer and other locations. Over the centuries, India was invaded by many different peoples, all of whom left their imprint.Hinduism developed out of a multiplicity of local GODS, goddesses, and heroes. Gradually this multiplicity was given a coherent framework, in which the individual deities were seen as manifestations of a greater unity. Nonetheless, multiplicity remained a major feature of Hinduism, as it is of Indian culture in general.Local deities were identified with cyclical FORCES of NATURE, as is common in an agricultural society-- birth, death, planting; and with the fertility of land, herds, and human beings. |
