I. Introduction
Emerging markets are nations with social or business activity in the process of rapid growth and industrialization. The economies of China and India are considered to be the largest. According to the Economist many people find the term outdated, but no new term has yet to gain much traction. Emerging market hedge fund capital reached a record new level in the first quarter of 2011 of $121 billion. The seven largest emerging and developing economies by either nominal GDP or GDP (PPP) are China, Brazil, Russia, India, Mexico, Indonesia, and Turkey.
Namaste! "India is the cradle of human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grandmother of tradition. Our most valuable and most astrictive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India only! " The Indus valley civilization saw its genesis in the holy land now known as India around 2500 BC. The people inhabiting the Indus River valley were thought to be Dravidians, whose descendants later migrated to the south of India. The deterioration of this civilization that developed a culture based on commerce and sustained by agricultural trade can be attributed to ecological changes. The second millennium BC was witness to the migration of the bucolic Aryan tribes from the North West frontier into the sub continent. These tribes gradually merged with their antecedent cultures to give birth to a new milieu.
The Aryan tribes soon started penetrating the east, flourishing along the Ganga and Yamuna Rivers. By 500 BC, the whole of northern India was a civilized land where people had knowledge of iron implements and worked as labor, voluntarily or otherwise. The early political map of India comprised of copious independent states with fluid boundaries, with increasing population and abundance of wealth fueling disputes over these boundaries.
Unified under the famous Gupta Dynasty, the north of India touched the skies as far as

    In northern India, there were many kingdoms and empires that tried to establish centralization. The first empire to ever do this was the Mauryan Empire. They were able help spread Buddhism and build a network of roads which connected the Empire. But soon after the last ruler’s death, the empire began to disintegrate and centralization was dead. Until another empire came up, the Gupta Empire. This empire brought advancements to refining ore, producing iron and steel, and made a few astronomical discoveries. The emperors of the Gupta Empire tried to create a centralized empire but failed because after the death of their last leader, Chandra Gupta II, his successors were unable to control the large territory and a group of nomadic warriors invaded. The nomadic warriors eventually took over which forced the Gupta Empire to fragment into small kingdoms.…

    Aryans were an important role in Indian politics and social structure. Aryans’ brought the Varnas which was an early version of the caste system. The Aryans put themselves as the upper class to make them powerful over the native Indians.

    As time progressed the region’s environment changed and was no longer so accommodating to the Aryans; “some say that the Saraswati River was drying up, others that the region suffered catastrophic floods” (Violatti). Either way, agriculture would have greatly suffered as a result, causing the Aryan civilization to decline. During their approximate 1000-year reign, they evolved to become a distinctive culture that permanently influenced India’s subsequent social structures, religious beliefs, and…

    During medieval times, India’s social climate could be considered one of an idealistic civilization. From growing crops, to the teachings of higher forms of education, India was booming with potential. During the time between CA 300-1400, the society itself boomed with international trades of sugar, cotton, pepper, and cinnamon. The agricultural advantage was good for India because these resources were in high demand elsewhere in the surrounding regions. The Gupta Empire for example (ca 320-480) controlled large amounts of territory in India during these times, in a prosperous and somewhat peaceful way. During the Gupta Empires’ reign, it was considered a period of peace and growth. Very in tune with the arts, the Gupta kings ensured that works of art were treasured and preserved. Other various arts, such as poetry and mythological tales were reworked and refined as well. This appreciation for the arts inspired the rise of India drama. Other great accomplishments during these times were mathematics, which likens itself to the systems of Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks.…
