The Indian subcontinents was home to the Indus Valley Civilisation of the Bronze age. In India's iron age, the oldest scriptures of Hinduism were composed, social stratification based on caste emerged, and Buddhism and Jainism arose. Political consolidations took place under the Maurya and Gupta Empire; the peninsular Middle Kingdoms influenced the cultures of Southeast Asia. In India's medieval era, Judaism and Christianity, and Islam arrived, and Sikhism emerged, adding to a diverse culture, North India fell to the Delhi sultanat; south India was united under the Vijaynagar Empire. In the early modern era, the expansive Mughals was followed by East India company rule. India's modern age was marked by British Crown rule and a national movement which, under MAHATMA Gandhi, was noted for nonviolence and led to India's independence in 1947.
