Analysis:

The South Asian subcontinent and the Indian Peninsula are located north of the equator and south of the Tropic of Cancer, belonging to the tropical monsoon climate zone and tropical forest climate zone. It has high temperature and abundant rainfall all the year round, and rivers crisscross in the northern region, irrigating an incomparably vast and fertile land. All kinds of tropical plants here are full of flowers and fruits, and most areas are suitable for grain growth. Good natural conditions for farming ensured a stable source of food and clothing for people, and indus valley civilization was born on this basis. In the first half of the 30th century BC, the residents here created an early civilization of the South Asian subcontinent that was not inferior to Sumerian and ancient Egyptian civilizations. Archaeological data show that there are rich varieties of crops here and it is also the earliest cotton-producing area in the world. Urban construction is uniform and the level is quite high; Handicraft skills are even more amazing. All kinds of pottery products, lithographs, sculptures, bronzes, gold and silver bracelets, jewelry and so on are beautiful. Sir Marshall of England, who participated in the archaeological excavation of the Indus Valley, said: "These things that appeared in houses 5,000 years ago can be said to be similar to those sold in jewelry stores on the First Street in London today."

Because the climate here is hot and humid, and the food is easy to rot, the residents of ancient India basically get it at any time, consume it in time, and don't pay attention to saving. For a long time, the polarization between the rich and the poor is not obvious. In the Vedic era, most Aryans were yeomen who owned their own land. "We are convinced that there are no landlords, no poor people, no millionaires and no abject poverty." [2] Until the Middle Ages, European scholars traveled to India and praised "India is a rich country that will never be lacking." [3] Of course, the polarization between the rich and the poor has existed objectively since the middle and late Vedic era, but yeomen living in rural communes have always been the main force of agricultural production in ancient India. In the 3rd century BC, the Greek Megastini, who was stationed in the capital of the Peacock Dynasty, said, "Farmers are the largest class in India. They don't use weapons, they don't fight, they just farm. They pay taxes to kings or autonomous cities. " [4] Together with slaves, they undertook basic social labor, thus promoting the continuous development of ancient Indian civilization.

The excellent ecological environment made Indian civilization precocious, became one of the four ancient civilizations in the ancient East, and created a unique culture.
