How did the people live in Stone Age?
Answer:
The Way of Life of the People in Stone Age

• Some of the earliest people lived along the banks of rivers. They were skilled gatherers. They knew about the vast wealth of plants in the surrounding forests, and collected roots, fruits and other forest produces for their food.
• The people in Stone Age also hunted animals and birds. They used to catch fish also.
• Some of the areas where the people first began to grow crops such as wheat and barley about 8000 years ago are located in river-valley areas. They also began rearing animals like sheep, goat, dog, cow and other cattle.

“The people of India shared their ideas since the earliest days”. Explain in brief.

• The people of India travelled from one part of the subcontinent to another. The hills and high mountains including the Himalayas, deserts, rivers and seas made journeys dangerous at time, but never impossible.
• The people of the Indian subcontinent moved in search of livelihood, as also to escape from natural calamities (such as flood, drought, earthquake, epidemic).
• Sometimes men marched in armies, conquering others’ land.
• Merchants travelled with caravans or ships carrying valuable goods from place to place.
• Religious teachers walked from village to village, town to town, stopping to offer instruction and advice on the way.
• Finally some people perhaps travelled, driven by a spirit of adventure.
  All these led to the sharing of ideas among the Indians.

How did our country get its names?

Answer:

Names of our country

Two of the words we generally use for our country are India and Bharat. The word India comes from the Indus called Sindhu in Sanskrit.

The Iranians and the Greeks who came through the northwest about 2500 years ago, were familiar with the Indus, called it the Hindos or the Indos. The land to the east of the river (i.e., the Indus) was called India.

The name Bharat was used by a group of people who lived in the northwest, and who are mentioned in the Rigveda, the earliest composition in Sanskrit (dated to about 3500 years ago). Later, it was used for the country.
