Return to History 8.

Page 1

Throughout its early history, the Himalayas helped protect India from outside invaders. How does this image especially make that dramatically clear? How does this photo help to show why such river systems were so important in the rise of the earliest civilizations?

Page 2

Most Indians consider the Ganges River to be sacred. Why do you think they might have come to view it as sacred? What are monsoons, and why do they have such big impact on life in India?

Page 3 What can you tell about the geography and climate of this region from the poster alone?

Historians say many of India’s older traditions and beliefs survived more in southern India than in the north. Why do you suppose that was so?

What else about the geographical features of southern India might explain why it was able to stay more isolated from outside influence than other regions of India?
