Thoughts and Reflections On: Ancient India
Over all there are many remarkable things about the ancient Indian civilization two of which standout in my mind, the first and possibly most important attribute was its highly developed religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Religion was so important for this civilization because great deal of Indian society revolved around religion and due to the Buddhist believe of the caste system a social and economic higher archly developed. This propelled society forward and differentiated Indian civilization from its contemporaries. The second outstanding attribute of ancient Indian civilization was the city Mohenjo-Daro.
Mohenjo-Daro was the largest cities in the world and probably one of the most advanced cities in the Indus River Valley. This city could have had a population around 40,000 people and the buildings on a grid on rectangular streets showed architectural planing.
