Everything about Iron Age India totally explained
The
Iron Age in the
Indian subcontinent succeeds the
Late Harappan (Cemetery H) culture, also known as the last phase of the
Indus Valley Tradition. The cultures of the
Punjab and
Rajasthan in this phase spread eastward across the
Gangetic plain. For this reason, the succession of Iron Age cultures of
northern India and
Pakistan are also known as the
Indo-Gangetic Tradition.
The
Painted Gray Ware culture (ca 1200-800 BCE) and the
Northern Black Polished Ware culture (ca 700-300 BCE) belong to the "Regionalization Era" of the Indo-Gangetic Tradition. This corresponds to the later phase of the
Vedic period and
Mahajanapadas and the rise of the
Maurya Empire.
Chandragupta Maurya and
Ashoka the Great belong to this period.
The earliest Iron Age site in South India is
Hallur.
India enters the classical period from the
6th century BC with the births of
Mahavira and
Gautama Buddha, followed by the
Sanskrit grammar of
Panini, the
Edicts of Ashoka, and the emerging
Middle kingdoms of India.
