Evolution of Agricultural Practices in Ancient India

Abstract

India which is an agricultural country and 80 percent of its people are headed by agriculture. Evolution took place and man began to stay in one place instead of moving around. Due to the special geographical conditions of India and its natural resources, it has been a center of attraction for foreigners since ancient times. The birth of a world-famous civilization like ‘The Indus valley’ took place here. The arrival of Arya, Alexander, Arabs, Turks, Afghans, Mughals, and Europeans came to India at different times some of them looted and returned and some settled here. Through this paper I have tried to shed light on the development and growth of agriculture in Indian subcontinent since very ancient past.
