Aryan tribes from the northwest infiltrated the Indian subcontinent about 1500 B.C.; their merger with the earlier Dravidian inhabitants created the classical Indian culture. The Maurya Empire of the 4th and 3rd centuries B.C. &#8211; which reached its zenith under ASHOKA &#8211; united much of South Asia. The Golden Age ushered in by the Gupta dynasty (4th to 6th centuries A.D.) saw a flowering of Indian science, art, and culture. Islam spread across the subcontinent over a period of 700 years. In the 10th and 11th centuries, Turks and Afghans invaded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/india-google-maps\/\">India<\/a> and established the Delhi Sultanate. In the early 16th century, the Emperor BABUR established the Mughal Dynasty, which ruled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/india-google-maps\/\">India<\/a> for more than three centuries. European explorers began establishing footholds in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/india-google-maps\/\">India<\/a> during the 16th century.By the 19th century, Great Britain had become the dominant political power on the subcontinent. The British Indian Army played a vital role in both World Wars. Years of nonviolent resistance to British rule, led by Mohandas GANDHI and Jawaharlal NEHRU, eventually resulted in Indian independence, which was granted in 1947. Large-scale communal violence took place before and after the subcontinent partition into two separate states &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/india-google-maps\/\">India<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/pakistan-google-maps\/\">Pakistan<\/a>.
