ABSTRACT
This packet contains teaching ideas for a unit on India. It
is based on a series of interviews of people from India and directs students
to develop a museum kit from the research. The packet begins with a unit on
the United Nations and uses India as the model country for students to write
their own projects. Questions for consideration are included as are numerous
resources.

6itrobviction
Indian civilization is both ancient and complex. In addition to an intellectual
and spiritual legacy, India has made significant contributions in the fields of
science, technology and the arts.
As early as 2500 B.C., the cities of the Harappan civilization in the Indus
Valley were organized and built in the most advanced city planning tech-
niques yet known in history. Houses were built of fired brick and were con-
nected to the most elaborate urban drainage system known anywhere in the
world prior to those of Rome. Granaries that stored wheat and bronze and
copper tools were signs of agricultural and metallurgical expertise.
Early art objects depicted elephants, tigers, hares, the humped-Brahmin bull,
ascetic figures in yoga postures and female earth goddesses. Although the
Harappan civilization declined, the cultural patterns were reborn in the subse-
quent Indian historical civilization. More than four thousand years later sim-
ilar technical skills and artistic motifs are still prevalent, now spread out across
the sub-continent.
1.Humped Bull and Script, early art ob ect
India is proud to maintain the world's largest democracynot an easy job in a
country that has sixteen major languages and hundreds of dialects. Artisans
working today in desert villages, in the rain forests and foothills of the Himala-
yas and farmers cultivating the lands in the vast plains, confirm that India is
the oldest continuous civilization in the world, without a doubt the most
diverse in terms of geography, religious practice and ethnic heritagefrom
Naga tribes along the India-Burma border in the east, to the Tamils in the
south, to the descendants of Rajput warriors in the west, and to the muslims
of Kashmir and the Tibetan influenced Ladakhis in the north.
India's history is as rich in jewelled splendor as it is with human understanding
and emotion:
A prince named Siddhartha who was born over 2500 years ago, renounced
his material possessions, fasted and attained enlightenment under a Bodhi
tree. Through sermons and teachings, he introduced Buddhism and changed
the course of history in all of Asia.
In the 17th century a grieving emperor Shah Jahan built a monument for his
beloved wife Mumtaz. This exquisite architectural masterpiece known as the
Taj Mahal, is one of the splendors of the world.
Hindu architectural wonders like the Sun Temple of Konarak and the Brit-
ish influenced accomplishments attained during the days of the Raj add to the
wealth of artistic and technological achievements.
Since Independence in 1947, India has made rapid progress in the fields of
energy, agriculture and space communication. Today India is assertive and
