“Men and women in India know that the structure upon which contemporary #Indian #society rests has its origins in ancient India.

All Indians are brought up with a sense of the past that they incorporate through the transmission of popular #culture, #traditions, #mythology and #folklore. These particular features constitute an important part of their #history and #identity.”

Moreover, it is composed in that period of #history that has left behind the age of #matriarchal cultures, metals like tin, bronze and iron have been discovered, #agriculture has appeared and starts flourishing and as a result the land becomes very valuable and needs more and more labour.”
