We are aware of India’s rich past and heritage, but do we know anything beyond that. The legacy of India is rich, deep, varied and spans roughly 10,000 years!.

The span of ancient India refers to the following periods…
3400 - 180 BC which covers the Indus Valley Civilization, the Vedic Period, Mahajanapadas, Magadha Empire, Gandhara, Maurya Empire, the Pandyans, Cholas, Cheras.

250 BC - 500 AD which includes the middle kingdoms of Gupta Empire, Kadamba Dynasty, Pallavas.

Of these time periods, I shall start with the Mahajanapadas, then to the Magadha Empire and so on.
I shall attempt to unravel this time period in a concise and interesting manner through the Ancient Indian History Series.
