languages of India were supplanted in the northern and western regions.By 400 BCE,
stratification and exclusion by caste had emerged within Hinduism,and Buddhism and
Jainism had arisen, proclaiming social or- ders unlinked to heredity.Early political
consolidations gave rise to the loose-knit Maurya and Gupta Empires based in the
Ganges Basin.Their collective era was suffused with wide-ranging creativity,but also
marked by the declining status of women,and the incorporation of untouchability into
an organised system of be- lief.In South India, the Middle kingdoms exported
Dravidian-languages scripts and religious cultures to the kingdoms of Southeast Asia.
By 55,000 years ago, the first modern humans, or Homo sapiens, had arrived on the
Indian subcon- tinent from Africa, where they had earlier evolved.The earliest known
modern human remains in South Asia date to about 30,000 years ago. After 6500 BCE,
evidence for domestication of food crops and animals, construction of perma- nent
structures, and storage of agricultural surplus appeared in Mehrgarh and other sites
in what is now Balochistan, Pakistan. These gradually developed into the Indus Valley
Civilisation,the first urban culture in South Asia, which flourished during 2500–1900
BCE in what is now Pakistan and western India. Centred around cities such as
Mohenjo-daro, Harappa, Dholavira, and Kaliban- gan, and relying on varied forms of
subsistence, the civilisation engaged robustly in crafts production and wide-ranging
trade. During the period 2000–500 BCE, many regions of the subcontinent
transitioned from the Chalcolithic cultures to the Iron Age ones. The Vedas, the oldest
scriptures associated with Hin- duism,were composed during this period,[88] and
historians have analysed these to posit a Vedic culture in the Punjab region and the
upper Gangetic Plain. Most historians also consider this period to have encompassed
several waves of Indo-Aryan migration into the subcontinent from the north-west The
caste system, which created a hierarchy of priests, warriors, and free peasants, but
which excluded indigenous peoples by labelling their occupations impure, arose
during this period. On the Deccan Plateau, archaeological evidence from this period
suggests the existence of a chiefdom stage of political organisation. In South India, a
progression to sedentary life is indicated by the large number of megalithic
monuments dating from this period, as well as by nearby traces of agriculture,
irrigation tanks, and craft traditions.

Sports of India
Sports help people maintain the best of their physical, mental and psychologi- cal
health. Owing to the widespread popularity of the internet and television, people
consume sports on a massive scale. The celebrity status of top sportsper- sons
validates the importance associated with sporting events. There are more than
18,416 games from Indian publishers on Google Play out of the 494,881 games.The
history of Indian sports can be traced back to the Vedic age. During the era of
Ramayana and Mahabharata, around 1900 BC – 7000BC, men of status and honor
were expected to be competitive in sports like Archery, horse- manship, wrestling,
weight-lifting, swimming and hunting. India has hosted and co-hosted several
international sporting events, most notably the 1951 and 1982 Asian Games, the
1987, 1995 and 2016 South Asian Games, the 2010 Com- monwealth Games, the 2014
Lusofonia Games, the 1987, 1996 and 2011, 2023 Cricket World Cups, the 1978, 1997,
2013, 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cups, the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup and the 2022
FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup. Wrestling is the oldest sports in India.

Best vintage cars
The Jaguar E-Type is the best classic car in the world, closely followed by the Porsche
911, Mini, and Lamborghini Miura 1966. While part of the fun of these retro cars
comes from driving them, the rest of it comes from simple admiration. It doesn’t
matter whether you’re an avid car collector or a window shopper with a big interest
in the most expensive cars, you can still appreciate these types of older cars and old-
fashioned mechanics.

Sophia the first AI Robot
Sophia was activated on February 14, 2016, and made its first public appearance in
mid-March 2016 at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, United States. In
Figure 5.1:
2017, Sophia made history by becoming the first human-like AI robot to be granted
legal citizenship. In November 2017, Sophia was named the United Nations
Development Programme’s first Innovation Champion, and is the first non-human to
be given a United Nations title. Sophia was first activated on February 14, 2016.The
robot, modeled after the ancient Egyptian Queen Nefer- titi,Audrey Hepburn, and its
inventor’s wife, Amanda Hanson,is known for its human-like appearance and
behavior compared to previous robotic variants. As of 2018, Sophia’s architecture
includes scripting software, a chat system, and OpenCog, an AI system designed for
general reasoning.Sophia imitates human gestures and facial expressions and is able
to answer certain questions and to make simple conversations on predefined topics
(e.g. on the weather).Sophia uses speech recognition technology from Alphabet Inc.
(the parent company of Google) and is ”designed to get smarter over time”.[citation

and also al- lows it to sing. Sophia’s intelligence software is designed by Hanson
Robotics.He AI program analyses conversations and extracts data that allows it to
improve responses in the future.
