History of India is divided into three sections:
>Ancient
>Medieval
>Modern
>Ancient India
From the Advent of Man to 712 AD (Arrival of Mohammad Bin Qasim)
>Medieval India
712 AD (Arrival of Mohammad Bin Qasim) to 1757 (Battle of Plassey)
>Modern India
1757 (Battle of Plassey) to 1964 (Death of Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, First Prime Minister of India)
>ITT we would be discussing the the Prehistoric Part of Ancient India i.e. Pre Indus Valley Civilization
IVC is pretty much prehistory, and the period between its fall (1700-1400 bc) and the rise of the Vedic city states around 500 bc certainly is
Evidence of anatomically modern humans in the Indian subcontinent is recorded as long as 75,000 years ago
Isolated remains of Homo erectus in Hathnora in the Narmada Valley in central India indicate that India might have been inhabited since at least the Middle Pleistocene era, somewhere between 500,000 and 200,000 years ago.
The first confirmed semi-permanent settlements appeared 9,000 years ago in the Bhimbetka rock shelters in modern Madhya Pradesh, India. (Pic related)
I know, But I will be making a separate thread for Indus Valley Civilization and Vedic Age.

We don't believe in facts, we just know them.
It may not have been inhabited by homo sapiens. He said Homo erectus.
Who is "we"? What are these "facts"? Why does this thread have no sources?

I have written site names, now do the rest yourself. I am not citing a paper, I am educating Veeky Forums.
Kek, and nice thread. Sorta reminds me of the Great Game thread. I hope you continue. Only thing you could use help on is making it less dry because it's somewhat boring right now.
>Homo Idiotus

Thanks, well I sure will continue. There wasn't much in this age, I will make a Indus Valley Civilization thread today and will try to make it fun or less boring.
