Who Controlled Ancient India?

Vanakkam! (This is how you say hellow in Tamil, a dialect in India.)


Yesterday we made our map of Asia. There are so many amazing geographical features in this area. Today we are going to begin our first country of India. India’s history is very unique and complex. India has created some of the most amazing achievements that the world has ever seen, and that are still widely used today. However, before we can learn about the culture of India, we have to learn about their past. Today we will be looking at the people from India’s past to see what they have in common, and what that might tell us about India today.

DO NOW: Answer the following questions
1. What are the 2 major rivers in India?
2. What is found in between India and China? Do you think that is helpful or no? Why?
3. Where do you think most people in India live?
