(Online Course) GS Concepts : Stage in the Evolution of Indian Culture

Posted: 13 Sep 2012 10:56 PM PDT


Subject : Indian Culture
Chapter : Indian Culture

Topic: Stage in the Evolution of Indian Culture

Q: Briefly discuss the different stages in the evolution of Indian Culture upto the Post-Gupta age?

Answer: Indian culture is the oldest surviving culture in the world. It has passed through centuries of continuity and changes. It was not evolved in any particular phase of Indian history; but in every phase it continued to assimilate certain new features, which, in turn, provided it with a distinctiveness in each succeedding phase. If we look to the eternal march of Indian culture, we will notice that Indian culture along with its essential features remained receptive to new ideas. This receptiveness has given a new progressive outlook to Indian culture.

THE HARAPPAN CULTURE

The Harappan culture was essential a city culture drawing sustenance from a large area extending from modern Punjab to as far as Gujarat. The traces of this culture have been found in various places in Kashmir, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat.

The Harappan people lived in well-populated cities and towns with all amenities of a developed city life. Among the popular deities, the mother Goddess and Pashupati Siva were the most prominent. Serpents, trees and certain animals, most prominent being cows were also worshipped. These elements of religion, though contrary to the Vedic religion, were subsequently adopted in Hinduism. Good progress was achieved in the field of architecture, science and technology. Harappan civilisation has made an important contribution to the growth and development of culture and civilisation in India during the subsequent phases.
