The earliest chapters of Indian history: the Indus Valley Civilization, Vedic-era society, the rise and fall of major ancient dynasties and empires, and the philosophical and religious movements that emerged during this period. This is the deep-history end of our history categories, further back than Medieval or Modern Indian History, and rewards players who know their dynasties and eras precisely, not just broad strokes. Pairs well with our Monuments category, since many of India's oldest surviving structures date from exactly this era.
