10/1/2014 Describe a legend/myth/fable that you have heard. How is it supposed to affect people?

Indo-Aryan Religion Early gods were drawn from nature ◦ Believed in one supreme god Ceremonies were performed outside with special altars where fires were lit ◦ Foods (meat, butter, milk) were offered as sacrifices As time passed, things got more complicated ◦ Brahmins (Priests): called to lead religious activities

Early Indo-Aryan Society Still herders, but started to farm too The settlements joined together into states or territories ◦ Each governed by a raja: chief ◦ Raja acted as the military leader, lawmaker, and judge

Social Orders Indo-Aryans were light skinned Original inhabitants of India were dark skinned Developed a complex Caste System: way to organize a society ◦ Warriors and Priests were at the top ◦ Merchants, traders ◦ Farmers ◦ Servants

Marriage Very important to salvation!! Strict rules governed/limited marriage among the social orders – couldn’t go between Parents usually arranged marriages ◦ You could also purchase your spouse ◦ Sometimes people even fell in love (gasp!)

Indo-Aryan Economy They grew wheat, barley, rice, sugarcane, leafy vegetables, gourds, peas, beans, and lentil Traders bartered until about 500 B.C. when coins were introduced Eventually what the Indo-Aryan Migrants brought with them, became a way of life over much of India

Southern India Vindhya Mtn Range: separates the southern region of the continent from the rest People of the south ◦ Able to hold onto their distinct way of life ◦ They lived as farmers and hunter-gatherers ◦ Traded some BUT usually stayed to themselves
