Medieval India Readings & Checkpoints
Over the course of the unit, we will be going through different sections of the textbook in class. Whenever we start a reading, the questions will be due the next day and there will be a reading checkpoint made available after school for homework (unless there are other instructions). The Google Forms online correspond to a specific topic/lesson in the textbook.
The Gupta Empire
Today, the subcontinent of South Asia is home to three of the world’s most populous nations. India has a majority Hindu population and a large Muslim minority, while Pakistan and Bangladesh are Muslim nations.
Long before the arrival of Islam, South Asia was home to one of the world's oldest civilizations. Two powerful empires arose. The Maurya dynasty ruled much of India from 321 BCE to 185 BCE, but a series of weak rulers led to the collapse of the Maurya.
