In the village they were very distinct on where people had to be.
- in indian tradition, the higher the jati you were, you a were placed closer to the middle of the village, but the lower the jati , the further away you would live.
If you lived in the middle of the city you more likely to have a larger living space and resources. But Most of the houses in the village were very small, with few rooms and limited living space. They had intensely small amount of food, and most had no running water or electricity.
Most houses/shelters were built out of scrap wood and large cut bamboo.
India's history begins back more than 4,500 years ago in the Indus Valley civilization. A group of hunters and herders called "The Aryans", created a rigid social structure based on caste which means the social position into which a person is born. They also created Sacred Writings such as the Vedas which outlined the social structure. In order to fully understand the history and culture of India you need to understand their religions. Around the time of 320 A.D the Gupta Empire united India and built the civilization. But in 700's Muslims started to invade India.
In the 1900's, India opened it's economy to direct foreign investments. This deregulated industries and turned over government companies to private owners. This helped expand middle class, but also started growing into economic inequality. In some fields the farmers had to hand carry water from a river whilst in other fields they had irrigation (supply of water). The crops most important to India are rice, wheat, and other grains such as chickpeas and legumes. The 1960s was mostly known as the green revolution which were an increase with high yielding crops. Many people in India work in cottage industries, which are businesses that employ home workers. These workers weave textiles, make shoes, jewelery, woodcarvings, furniture and bowls. But the largest manufacturing jobs comes from people who turn cotton, jute, wool, silk, and fabrics.
