Over a period of 1,500 years after the decline of the Harappan civilization, the Indian subcontinent witnessed significant developments. This era coincided with the composition of the Rigveda by people residing along the Indus and its tributaries. Various regions, including north India, the Deccan Plateau, and parts of Karnataka, saw the emergence of agricultural settlements. Additionally, pastoral populations were found in the Deccan and southern areas. A new burial practice involving megalithic structures became prevalent in central and south India during the first millennium BCE, often accompanied by burying the deceased with a variety of iron tools and weapons. |
