What are the differences between ancient India and India? What happened from ancient times to the present day?

Recently a lot of this Indian people are also talking about some of the differences between this ancient India and India, a lot of people are estimated to have found that is this ancient India and India is also still very interesting, because now a little bit of India and this ancient India can not be seen to have any connection, unlike some other ancient civilization countries have inheritance, then there are a lot of people who are curious about the people to ask, this ancient India and India And what is the difference? And this ancient India and India really have a connection? For these questions we will come together to briefly analyze to see.

The difference between ancient India and India is still very big, whether it is from the geographical point of view, or from the point of view of the historical and cultural heritage, the difference is very big, very big, but there are some places that have a legacy, specifically how to say it? We continue to look down.

1, ancient India is now a name, there is no ancient India this country. India in ancient times there is no united country, the vast majority of the time is hundreds of thousands of small states, constantly allied with each other or annexed, only briefly united for a few decades, but the scope is limited to a part of North India. In between, it was occupied several times by the Mongols and Muslims, and in modern times it was invaded by the Portuguese, the French, and the British, becoming a British colony in the 18th century. But even the British failed to truly unify these small states, only negotiating one by one so that they would not oppose British rule and giving them money. The real unification of India came after the founding of the country in 1947. The Muslims who didn't want to be in the same country as the Hindus seceded and created Pakistan (then India and Pakistan fought a few more times, and in 71 India defeated East Pakistan and encouraged the locals to create Bangladesh).

2. Ancient India was much larger in scope than the present India, and also included the present Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim, and part of Myanmar.

3, I personally think that the ancient Indian culture, and modern Indian culture is not very different. The main parts have been preserved, including:

3.1, Hinduism and the caste system. These two are closely intertwined with each other, and both are the basis of Indian society throughout Indian life. Even foreign Muslims have been influenced by it and have a caste system;

3.2, Ayurveda. This is the traditional method of health care and medical treatment, which has been passed down to the present day;

3.3., Yoga. This was originally a method practiced by Hindus, and gradually evolved into a fitness method that spread around the world and has become increasingly commercialized in recent years;

3.4., traditional Indian music and dance;

3.5., traditional Indian festivals such as Sprinkles, Ten Saints' Day, Nine Nights' Day, Shiva's Day, and so on. Many of these come from myths and legends. Since there were no written records in ancient India, much of the history is confused with myths and legends.

4. In addition to these, some ancient cultures, such as Buddhism, have become largely extinct in modern India. And new cultures, such as Bollywood movies are gradually emerging, which is also with the times, I guess.
