Please tell me the detailed history of India.

One of the four ancient civilizations in the historical world. Indus civilization was founded around 2000 BC. About14th century BC, an Aryan who originally lived in Central Asia entered the South Asian subcontinent and conquered the local aborigines. Around 1000 BC, the caste system based on different division of labor between race and society began to form. The peacock dynasty that rose in the 4th century BC began to unify the Indian subcontinent. During the reign of King Ashoka in the 3rd century, the territory was vast, the regime was strong, Buddhism flourished and began to spread abroad. In the Middle Ages, there were many small countries and Hinduism rose. Since 1 1 century, Muslims from the northwest have invaded and ruled India for a long time.

India is rich in mineral resources, with bauxite reserves and coal production ranking fifth in the world, and mica exports account for 60% of the world's exports. By the end of 65.438+0.996, the recoverable reserves of India's main resources are estimated as follows: 46.389 billion tons of coal (excluding coking coal), 9.754 billion tons of iron ore, 2.253 billion tons of bauxite, 65.438+0.24 billion tons of chromite, 65.50 million tons of manganese ore, 5.89 million tons of zinc, 3.52 million tons of copper and 6.5438+0. The forest coverage rate is 2 1.9%.

India has the fourth largest coal reserves in the world. Other major natural resources are iron ore, manganese, mica, bauxite, titanium ore, chromite, natural gas, oil, diamonds, limestone and cultivated land. India's economy is dominated by traditional farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, modern industry and its supporting industries. India, on the other hand, has low resource utilization rate and low development utilization rate. According to statistics, it is about 15-30%. (Mainly coal and iron ore) [Edit this paragraph] Culture and education

culture

The known history of India can be traced back to 2000 BC, beginning with the wave of immigrants who settled in northern India for the first time by Aryans. There is likely to be a fierce conflict between immigrants and local residents. But it is obvious that the assimilation spirit and endurance spirit of Great India have won, and this spirit has continued to this day. In the next thousand years, Aryans spread all over India, creating most early classical Sanskrit documents, such as Sanskrit, Vedas, Upanishads and two epics, Ramayana and Mahabharata.

India has countless historical sites. Some ancient pagodas, Ashoka pillars engraved with decrees, copper plaques and stone tablets that preserve Buddhist relics are scattered all over the subcontinent. Maharashtra and other places have beautifully carved Ajanta Grottoes, Eerola Grottoes and Ailefentan Grottoes. There are well-preserved magnificent temples with different architectural styles, castles and manors in Rajasthan, magnificent red castles in Delhi, historical sites, spectacular Fatpur Sicre Palace, magnificent and beautiful Taj Mahal and countless places of interest. Once tourists are attracted by the deified India, they will be dazzled and linger.

Modern India is a vibrant country. In terms of transparency and democracy, it is the largest country in the world, which is something to be proud of. Few independent third world countries can protect their democracy as faithfully as India after World War II. There is no denying that there are poor people in towns and slums in India. However, with the development of science and industrial technology in India, people's living standard will be improved, and it will definitely reach the middle living standard by 2 1 century. India's emerging information technology engineers and information enterprises have won the respect of the world. Its GDP growth rate is second only to that of China. The Indian people are determined to rise in the modern world, and the pulse of India is beating with the youth and vitality of the people.

Indian languages are equally diverse. There are about 2000 languages in India, 55 of which have their own writing and literature. 19 The perfect language with its own literary treasure has been designated as the official language of India. Every religion in India has followers in the subcontinent. Hinduism accounts for the vast majority, accounting for 85%, followed by Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Jews, Zoroastrianism, Jainism and so on. All different religions live in harmony. There are countless beautiful temples, magnificent churches, magnificent mosques, Buddhist temples, synagogues and Zoroastrian temples on the Indian subcontinent. Mumbai, a commercial metropolis in western India, can be said to be a microcosm of India's religious, ethnic and linguistic diversity. In addition to the above-mentioned religious temples and churches, there are also famous Armenian churches, Shinto temples and Datong temples. [Edit this paragraph] China-India border

The total length of China-India border is about 1700 km, which is customarily divided into three sections: the eastern section is about 650 km long, from the junction of China, India and Myanmar to the junction of China, India and Bhutan in Diwangri; The middle section, from the junction of China and Indonesia in Pulan County, Tibet to the 6795 highland in Zada County, is about 400 kilometers long; The western section is about 650 kilometers long, from the 6795 highland in Zada County to the Karakorum mountain pass in Xinjiang. The whole border has never been formally defined, but according to the historical administrative jurisdiction of both sides, a traditional customary border line has been formed, which runs along the southern foothills of the Himalayas in the east, along the Himalayas in the middle and along the Karakorum Mountains in the west. The outbreak of the Sino-Indian border war is not accidental, it has profound historical roots and complex background.

As an influential power in Asia and the world, maintaining friendly and cooperative relations between China and India is of great significance to maintaining peace in Asia and the world. Peaceful settlement of the border issue between the two countries is the key to the development of Sino-Indian relations. However, the border issue between China and India still hinders the strategic cooperation between the two countries from developing in a substantive direction, and also restricts the in-depth development of Sino-Indian relations.

From June, 5438 to October, 2008 10, Prime Minister Singh visited the disputed areas including the eastern section of the Sino-Indian border, and put forward a package plan to promote the development of India's northeast border area. 165438+1On October 8th, Indian Foreign Minister Mukherjee went back to the old tune when he visited Tawang, China (called "Arunachal Pradesh" in India), and once again declared India's sovereignty over Tawang. India's intensified "factual occupation" and "factual development" of the disputed border areas between China and India is not conducive to the settlement of the border issue between China and India, nor to increasing mutual trust between the two countries in the security field. Third-party factors, such as the signing of the US-India nuclear agreement in 2008 and US-India space cooperation, may also hinder the promotion of Sino-US relations if they do not increase trust and dispel doubts at the level of China-India strategic dialogue.

Neither the McMahon Line on the Eastern Line nor the Johnson Line on the Western Line has any legal basis, and it has never been recognized by the government and people of China. In the Sino-Indian border negotiations, the Indian government adhered to the principle of "mutual respect and mutual understanding". In the border agreement, China indirectly recognized India's sovereignty over Sikkim and made major concessions to solve the border dispute. The kingdom of Sikkim was annexed by India in 1975, and Beijing has always refused to accept this fait accompli. The border agreement signed this time stipulates that China and India will reopen a Sikkim border port that has been closed since the Sino-Indian border war, and another port will be opened on the Sino-Indian border. In the Sino-Indian border agreement, Sikkim is regarded as a state of India, and the Natura port at the foot of the Himalayas is designated as the border defense and customs inspection gate.

In the border negotiations, India was opinionated, not only ignoring China's reasonable territorial claims on the eastern front, but even trying to carve up a piece of land on the western front. In view of India's tough stance, it is a long way to go to solve the border dispute between China and India.

1962165438+1October 265438+1October 24, the Chinese border guards on the Sino-Indian border received the order signed by Mao Zedong. The general staff sent an urgent telegram to all units. The messages are as follows: Qian Zhi, Military Region, Zhi Ding, Kangzhi, Xinjiang Military Region and Chengdu, Lanzhou and Beijing Military Regions: In order to further strive for political initiative, the central government decided to issue a statement, announcing that in order to promote the peaceful settlement of the Sino-Indian border issue, our army decided to take the initiative to cease fire from 00: 00 on June 22+654438 on February.

1962165438+10: 00 on October 22nd. The Indian army ceased fire on the Sino-Indian border in accordance with Mao Zedong's orders. 1 962 65438+February1,China troops voluntarily withdrew. By March 1962 and 1, they all retreated within 20km of the actual control line on September 7th 1959. This is the desire of the China government to maintain the friendly relations between China and India, and it also shows once again China's sincerity in advocating that the Sino-Indian border issue be resolved through peaceful negotiations rather than by force.

China's border guards were ordered to wipe and repair a large number of weapons and vehicles seized in the counterattack, and in June+mid-February, 5438, other captured military materials were packed and sent back to India. No prisoner will be killed, beaten, cursed, insulted or confiscated. Give preferential treatment in life and treat the injured.

The Sino-Indian border self-defense counterattack took place under specific historical conditions, which is different from the domestic national liberation war and the people's liberation war, and also different from the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. First, the war was caused by India's attempt to solve the border dispute by force. This is a political and military struggle. The China government has always advocated equal consultation, mutual understanding and mutual accommodation, and peaceful negotiation to resolve border disputes, while the Indian Nehru government insists on expansionism and territorial claims by force. This determines that this war is very political. Military, political and diplomatic struggles are integrated and intertwined. Military struggle must obey and serve politics. Diplomatic struggle. This feature not only restricts the form, process and outcome of this war, but also affects the strategic guidance of both sides. The Government of China has always advocated the settlement of border disputes through negotiations and opposed resorting to force. Even though the Indian army deliberately provoked, killed and wounded Chinese border guards and soldiers, it remained restrained and patient and took the initiative in political, diplomatic and moral struggles. Only when the Indian army completely refused to settle the border dispute peacefully and launched a large-scale attack, the Chinese border guards pre-empted and launched a counterattack. However, after the success of the first battle, the Indian government issued a statement affirming its just interests and still insisting on a peaceful settlement of the Sino-Indian border issue. The Indian government openly refused peace talks and launched another attack. Chinese border guards were forced to fight back again and won a decisive victory in the counterattack, which won the initiative for further political and diplomatic struggle. It has won wide sympathy and support from people all over the world. This local border war determines that military struggle must be subordinate to political and diplomatic struggle, and the three should be closely combined. The need of political and diplomatic struggle determines the fight, stop, advance and retreat of military operations. Military victory has also created favorable conditions for political and diplomatic struggle, and further strive to promote talks through war, promote peace through war, and be relatively peaceful and stable.

Second, in this war, although China and India have their own advantages and disadvantages, China's overall national strength and national defense strength are greater than India's, and the overall quality of the Indian army, especially the political quality, is higher than that of the Indian army. This is different from the situation that the enemy is strong and we are weak in the New Democratic Revolutionary War and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

The Indian army, originally a British colonial army, fought side by side with the fascist troops of Germany, Italy and Japan in World War II, claiming to be "a powerful force that fought all over Europe and Asia". The main force of his troops participating in the war was printed in Selected Works of Mao Zedong, Volume 1, People's Publishing House, 2nd edition, June 65438. The reserve team is quick to maneuver and convenient to replenish. However, the Indian army is a bourgeois mercenary with a strong feudal and colonial color. It followed the basic system of the British army and waged an unjust war of aggression. It is unjust, helpless, demoralized and full of internal contradictions. His tactical thinking is conservative, and he is afraid of melee and night fighting. China's border guards are a tried and tested people's army, led by the China Communist Party and armed by Mao Zedong Thought. They have high political consciousness, strong organizational discipline, heroic and tenacious fighting style, tenacious revolutionary spirit, flexible strategy and tactics, and good command. Most of the troops have operational experience in plateau areas and are teachers of justice, which laid an objective foundation for China's victory.

Third, the war was fought in the special environment of Karakorum and Himalayas. This area is a part of the "roof of the world", with steep terrain, bad climate, inconvenient transportation, sparse population and backward economy. The eastern war zone has high mountains and narrow valleys, dense roads and changeable climate. The average altitude of the western theater is 4500 meters, and the main peak is over 6000 meters. The climate is extremely cold. These harsh natural conditions and geographical environment have seriously affected military operations, making it difficult for troops to assemble, maneuver, command and coordinate. Battlefield capacity is small, and non-combatants are easy to reduce. The technical performance of weapons is difficult to play normally, and logistics supply is very difficult. Overcoming the harsh natural environment has become the key to winning this battle.

Fourth, the war was fought in the western frontier of the motherland, which is mainly inhabited by ethnic minorities. Mass work and ethnic and religious policies have great influence on the war. Only by attaching great importance to ethnic and religious work and winning the support of people of all ethnic groups and patriotic monks in the border areas can we win this war. It is on the basis of strictly implementing the Party's ethnic and religious policies that the ethnic minorities in the border areas are closely United through long-term arduous and fruitful ethnic work.

Fifth, in this war, the logistics supply of China border guards basically came from the mainland, with long routes, few roads and backward means of transportation, which greatly restricted the scale and duration of the battle. The Indian army logistics supply base is close to the battlefield, with convenient transportation, which is conducive to lasting operations. These characteristics define the complexity of the war and affect the scale, process and outcome of the war. These characteristics are the objective basis for both sides to guide the war. We must actively strive for victory in the war within the limits of objective conditions. In this regard, the CPC Central Committee, the Central Military Commission and President Mao Zedong were far-sighted, sized up the situation, deeply understood the characteristics of this war, grasped the law of its development and change, strategized, made a series of decisions in line with the actual situation of the war, and implemented correct strategic guidance; Commanders in war zones insist on seeking truth from facts, proceed from the reality of the battlefield, give full play to their subjective initiative, carry forward military democracy, make correct arrangements and conduct careful command; The participating troops foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, rely on political advantages, work hard, be brave and be good at fighting, concentrate superior forces and annihilate the enemy. Thus, on the stage of the Sino-Indian border war, they staged a magnificent live drama and wrote a new glorious chapter in the history of Indian revolutionary war. [Edit this paragraph] Foreign relations.

India is one of the founders of the Non-Aligned Movement. Successive governments have emphasized that non-alignment is the foundation of their foreign policy, strived to develop relations with all countries and played an important role in regional and international affairs. After the end of the Cold War, the Indian government adjusted its long-standing policy of balancing great powers in favor of the Soviet Union, pursued all-round pragmatic diplomacy, and created a lasting peaceful and stable regional environment conducive to its own development.

Traditionally, India prefers boys to girls, because parents must prepare a generous dowry when their daughters get married. Without it, her daughter cannot get married.

Hindus are bathed in the "holy water" of the Ganges. This is indeed a huge burden for poor families.

When an Indian gives birth to a daughter, he will clap his hands to show that he has nothing. But if it's a son, it's very different. The family immediately beat gongs to celebrate, saying that in the future, the son can take a large dowry when he marries.

The way for Indians to celebrate the birth and safe growth of their children is to go to the temple for "Pujia ceremony", sing prayers, and then hold a dinner with relatives and friends.

After Indian children are born, their parents will find someone to read their divinations. Children's names are mostly taken from heroes or gods. Children's birthdays are especially valued because they can decide who they will marry in the future.

funeral

After the death of Hindus, the cremation ceremony was held at the altar by the river. After the death of Hindus, their families will wrap the bodies in yellow or white silk, then put them on two bamboo stretchers and carry them to the crematorium on the river beach in the form of a parade.

Traditionally, the task of carrying the deceased to the crematorium should be undertaken by family members, but now most people have given it to specialized personnel. In India, people who specialize in funeral affairs are regarded as untouchables with the lowest caste status.

Generally speaking, the funeral ceremony is very simple, but wealthy families may invite musicians to play in front and March in a vast procession. Before cremation, the eldest son of the deceased must walk around the body three times with an oil lamp. When the cremation pyre is lit, the eldest son of the deceased must shave his hair, leaving only one in the back of his head, and then bathe himself in the river. After cremation, the ashes of the deceased will be swept into the river, which means that the soul has left the body and gained freedom.

wedding

Indian women dressed in traditional costumes, the wedding of Indians is the representative of social status and the most important ceremony in their lives. When Indian youth reach marriageable age, their parents will look for people with the same social class, language, region and background, and stars can cooperate.

Weddings in India are quite complicated. Before marriage, both parents will discuss the dowry through the priest who acts as a matchmaker. Only after the woman has promised the amount of dowry provided by both men and women can the two sides choose the auspicious day of the zodiac and start preparing for the wedding. The day before the wedding, the bride must follow the traditional make-up method, and start oiling, bathing, changing clothes, combing her hair, applying eyeliner and lip sand, and painting red on her feet, red on her forehead and black moles on her chin. Then, she will paint Hannah's pattern on her hands and feet with plant dyes, then spray perfume, wear jewelry and hair accessories, and finally dye her teeth black, chew betel nut and apply lipstick, which is considered a success.

On the wedding day, the groom came to the bride's house on a white horse. At this time, the woman's family has set up a fire altar, and relatives and friends of both sides pray around the fire altar in the auspicious mantra recited by the priest. After that, the bride walked to the altar surrounded by her companion, and the priest tied the bride's sari and the groom's scarf together, representing a long-term marriage.

An Indian wedding dinner was held at the bride's house. A couple sat at the wedding reception and received blessings from relatives and friends. On the night of the wedding, the groom spent the night at the bride's house and married the bride home the next day.

Liturgy (worship)

Puja is a Hindu ritual that worships only God. Puja ritual must be performed by a priest. During the ceremony, believers will decorate the statue and carry it out of the temple to celebrate, and offer flowers, coconuts, tika powder and other offerings. Finally, the priest held an oil lamp and performed "Alati" in front of the idol.

In the process of "Alati", believers gently cover the lamp in the priest's hand with their hands, and then touch it on their own eyes, which means accepting the power given only by God.

Usually, after the worship ceremony, believers can get some sacrificial flowers, tika powder or water, which is called Prasad. So in India, as long as you see Indians worship from temples, almost all of them are painted with red or white powder on their foreheads.

Traditional dress

In India, people's religious belief, race, class and region can be seen from different costumes.

Men's headscarf:

Most Indian men wear headscarves, which are called Muslim headscarves. There are many ways to wrap headscarves, among which Sikh male headscarves have specific styles.

Traditionally, Sikhs have grown up with hair, beards and headscarves. The style of children's headscarves is relatively simple, and only black cloth is tied into a bun shape. The headscarf style of adults is more complicated. First of all, long hair must be tied into a bun with black elastic band, and then wrapped into a headscarf with a piece of cloth about 3 meters long. The style is regular rows on both sides. Sikh headscarves are colorful, and some people even match the colors of their clothes.

Most Indian men wear loose tunics and Dhoti. Men in Rajasthan are all wrapped in a piece of white cloth, and the cloth towels on their heads are diverse in patterns and bright in colors.

Women wear saris:

The traditional dress of Indian women is sari, which refers to a piece of cloth with a length of more than 15 yards, which is put on and wrapped around the body. Indian women are good at using skills such as tying, encircling, tying, wrapping, wrapping and wearing. This has made a different change in Sally.

The sari of women in Rajasthan is very short and only covers their heads, but it is brightly colored and embroidered with gold and silver. The tops of women in Rajasthan are a bit like the collarless dresses of China Impatiens, and the lower part is a long skirt with piping and floor.

The way Sally dresses:

The traditional dress of Indian women is wrapped in a 3-meter-long cloth called sari. Indian saris are dressed in a variety of ways. Different races, different regions and different beliefs have many different colors, different textures and different ways of dressing. When Indian women wear saris, they wear short-sleeved tights (Choli) above their navel and a straight petticoat (Ghagra) below, touching the ground.

The most basic method of wearing sari can be divided into the following steps:

1. First pull out the left end of the sari cloth and stuff it into the petticoat head on the right.

2. Wrap the sari cloth around the lower circumference from right to left for about three or four times.

3. Then, use sari cloth to fold it into four folds at the right front and stuff it into the skirt.

4. Then wrap the rest of the cloth around the right armpit from the left rear and put it on the left shoulder.

5. Finally, put the sari cloth directly on your shoulders or head.

eating habits

The daily diet of Indians is very different in the north and the south. Northerners mainly eat wheat, corn and beans, and especially like to eat a kind of pancake called "Chabati". People in the southern and eastern coastal areas live on rice and like fried rice. The Deccan Plateau in central China is dominated by millet and miscellaneous grains. Indians like to eat spicy food with curry. In terms of drinking water and beverages, Indians, like westerners, have no habit of drinking hot water, and generally like to drink cold water or black tea, milk and coffee.
