Trade and religion influenced Indian society in many ways. A trading route named "The Silk Road" introduced things like gunpowder and paper to the west. They would also trade art and religious ideas, which helped to spread Hinduism, which is the third most prominent religion today. India's natural resources also helps aid in the power of the region. Earlier they would trade things like gold, religious items, and iron, and they now sell valuable items like petroleum. this keeps the region wealthy since those things are important all around the globe.

Trading altered and developed Indian society in many ways. Trade didn't only aid India, trade helped all willing to. India developed there ideas through trading, India's caste system was brought to India by trading. India traded a wide variety of items from wheat to rice to sugar. The other nations India traded with also shaped their country. India traded with rulers of Rome, and emperors of China, etc, the Indian society was widely impacted by trade and without their trading system and who they traded with Indian would not be the way it is now.

Trade and religion influenced Indian society because. Indians started to trade with other civilizations. then the people from that civilization would contributed ideas into there religion. They also could spread there religion into that civilization. The Indians also used the silk road to trade and for Buddhist monks to travel and spread there religion.

Trade influenced Indian society in vast ways. They split into many cultures/factions. mainly because of there settings and where they was placed.

Religion begin to spread to those places causing people to trade things that they needed.

(Trade begin here) It all started in the Indus river. This river gave ran through the pakistanian valley back in 3000 BC.

The influence of trade and religion on India has made their society diverse in many ways. For example look at how many religions there are in India. There are several differences in the way people view India as citizens based off where they came from and their family background. Take a look how Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, and other religions in India started. They all come from different places and ended up in India and became one society over time. This affected on how things worked in the government because they have to make things fair for all people to succeed as a country. Also there were many things that migrates brought to India besides religion. Migrants brought culture, traditions, and inventions that came across the land of India that adapted to the cultures already there in India. They did this by creating routes from all over the world. For intense when Britain came to India in 1757 they brought their tea which later adapted into the Indian culture.

Trade and and religion influenced Indian society in many ways. Hinduism was a major Religion of the Indian subcontinent. Hindu teachings encouraged humans to revere nature and animals as a form of Deities. Also had over 800 million believers so this religion was a big impact on Indian society. Social class also Divided people into different parts were certain people would be treated like trash. Things Indian's Traded were gold, iron, Silk and other things. They traded so they could back thing's they did not have. India traded with people like Egypt and china and other places. They trade because theses places had thing's that India did not have like when china made paper. Indian's traded so they could get paper.

Trade influenced the Indian society because they had a lot of things that other countries did not have such as.

Wheat,rice,lentils,chickens,figs,sugar,salt,pepper,cotton,cinnamon and spices. so everyone bought from them.
And religion had influence them by when they grow up you are either born into that religion or you just cant be in it.And also religion could tell them how there life would be and what they would do for the rest of there lives.
This is connected to how Egypt also had a lot of items and materials that no one else had.

Trade had a major impact on the Indian society. The innovation of trade has been a major step in the world. High-stakes Trade has been said to actually originate back in the Indus Valley, in 3000 BC (Now Pakistan) which was also a neighbor to India. The power of trade had been a prodigious convenience for India's Society. I actually believe that it was only religion that had built up Indian society and both the many cultures that pioneered there. Religion had influenced India's society by the many rules, morals, laws, and many more to list. The Indians had more to learn as well, but thanks to trade, new ideas came on, technologies, religions, cultures and more. And India's spread of religion, tech, culture and more has developed the world at a greater pace.

Trade and religion influenced Indian society because it made Indian people more spiritual. Religions like hinduism and buddhism were created in Southeast Asia and emphasized in India and China. In those two places, the majority of people lived and died by the law of those religions. Trade influenced Indian society because it was a way for them to get resources they don't naturally have in India. It was also an outlet for cultural diffusion.

Trade and religion influenced Indian society by dividing people among social classes so those who were inferior were treated like trash. Trade help spread religion though, in other words, Cultural Diffusion. Indian's main religion, such as: Hinduism, led others to revere nature and animals living in the world. Trade allowed India to gain new resources their subcontinent/country needed, and allowed India to share theirs among other countries as well. Going back to the social class. These classes was made up in a system called the "Caste System". This system didn't allow those with lesser nobility interact or have affection for those in the upper ranks, which caused India to divide it's people.

Religion influenced Indian society by making bringing the first group of Europeans to the region of India due to religious wars that were held a thousand years ago.After the wars the Middle East's geographic location motivated the British and french to stay in the region.Both the French and British wanted a way to get to India and Southeast Asia so they built a man made canal called the Suez Canal in Egypt which was used for a trade route by the two nations. Trade brought a lot of people to the Middle East due to its vast amount of natural resources such as plants and petroleum.Religion was another thing traded between the nations that resided in the Middle East.Today people are still influenced by religion for example the court system makes you swear on a bible.

The Indians traded with China, Rome and Egypt. They traded wheat, rice, lentils, chickens, figs, sugar, salt, pepper, cotton, cinnamon and other spices. They also traded silk, gold and pottery, but silk was most traded between India and other places because it was so popular in the cities. Through trade the Indian people found out about other religions and beliefs so they took on several beliefs and found there culture and society grounded on trade and religion.

The way that trade and religion influences Indian society, is that it can bring organization and peace. I say this statement because the Indians lived where they had a way of living where there would be no chaos. Trading was an exchange of currency or goods to gain something back in your favor. this helped by bringing a organized set of actions to give or gain goods. Religion took the place of the Indians having a purpose of living; to have something to follow throughout living there life on Earth.

Trade and religion were key influences in the Indian society because they brought new ideas in. Religion back in the time of Ancient India was highly important and most of the laws around it. Trade brought new ideas in with religion and different techniques for crafts.

Trade and religion influenced the Indian society.Because When India started to trade with places like China and Egypt they started to better there society and there lives because they was able to get the things they needed and want and also made allies. Religion had a big impact on the Indian society because religion for them brought purpose of living and honoring someone or something they believed in and a animal such as a elephant was a big deal to them. Because in a video source we watched it said that the Indian culture would go to this elephant and get hit on the head for good luck

Trade and religion had a huge impact on India. They brought together peace . You were born in a specific caste system and was not able to interact with the people above you. Religion in India was major and help develop a lot of new ideas. Trade influenced India by allowing them to meet new people and develop a social status. India traded with Rome and other people.

Trade and Religion Influenced the Indian society. By making its society more spiritual. India traded in China and Egypt which brought new ideas into their clivization. That helped spead their Religon in the process. Hinduism being their main Religion led many to believe their cultural values.

Stephen to Cortez

9221118 — 2018-09-27 14:42:26 UTC

My connection with your paragraph is that I also put in mine how Indians made trades with places like Egypt and Rome to get resources they don't naturally have. I liked how you got into more detail about it. My question for you is do you believe that India was a better/more advanced civilization than Egypt and Rome?

Donovan to Stephen

9301703 — 2018-09-27 14:43:46 UTC

I like how you used the names of the religions to emphasize the cultural beliefs and practices. Why
aren't the religions capitalized.

Timothy To Abraham

20008515 — 2018-09-27 14:44:18 UTC

I agree with Abraham because In the short I watch They did say if you was not born the religion, you can never be in it. My question is was trade important to many religions. What Abraham said was understandable but he needs to add more details and, things should be named.

Mekhi to Donovan

9220472 — 2018-09-27 14:45:47 UTC

I also found that religion played a big part in Indian society. I also think you should be more specific in the time that religion was most important to them. What ideas do you think other civilization gave to them.

De'Sean To Donovan

9291521 — 2018-09-27 14:46:03 UTC

I agree with your point of view. Gave an great background to emphasize their beliefs in the process . How did India spread its religion ?

Gregory to Kareem

9238405 — 2018-09-27 14:46:21 UTC

Kareem I like the way you used the social classes to show how people in India was divided into different parts and how it caused cultural diffusion. Who did the Indian's trade with and what did they trade?

Errol to Stephen

ejawsome12 — 2018-09-27 14:46:46 UTC

I agree with the thought of the Indians wanting to be spiritual and the religion having been a good and bad thing. You also was very clear when explaining your thought process on your claim. Also do you believe that religion in India was a good or bad thing.

Keith To Errol

9232345 — 2018-09-27 14:46:50 UTC

I agree with you about there religion because I also think that there religion gave them a purpose of living.

Cortez to Stephen

20029340 — 2018-09-27 14:47:18 UTC

My connection with your responses to the question is when you talked about Rome and Egypt like in mine I mentioned both places. My feedback is just do what you need to do to be successful. If I had a question it would be why didn't you put what laws and religion they died for?

Micaiah to Donovan

20029339 — 2018-09-27 14:47:53 UTC

I agree what with your saying.

Amari to Timothy

9244885 — 2018-09-27 14:48:22 UTC

I agree with your statement. I also think religion played a role.
How do you think it effects them till this day?
I can connect to me having a religion control my life and influence me as well.

Kareem to Keith

9246537 — 2018-09-27 14:48:58 UTC

I concur with the part about the elephant and how the Indian citizens were worshiping the elephant as if it was a God/Deitie. According to "Hindu worship in Tiruvannamala", All Gods, Ginash, is represented by the elephant. This video shows how a touch from the trunk of an elephant can make the Indians believe that they will receive good luck. My question to you is "how did trade specifically better their society?"

Nathan to Keith

9236938 — 2018-09-27 14:49:03 UTC

I would like to honor the fact that you added religion because religion did play a significant role in India's society. I agree with your concepts and, what did India trade with their allies.

Andrew to Gregory

9252879 — 2018-09-27 14:50:42 UTC

I agree with you. They did trade things like silk and iron to get resources they didn't have. I suggest you work on your grammar a bit so your sentences make a little bit more sense. One question I have is what were some major religions other than Hinduism?

Shawn to Miciah

9238330 — 2018-09-27 14:51:58 UTC

I do not agree with you at all. I believe that you rushed through our classes, because you stated nothing at all about the Investigation Question. Why didn't you elaborate more ? I have no connection to this response.

Micaiah

20029339 — 2018-09-27 15:03:13 UTC

My question is to Cortez where did you get the things they traded with other people?

Alejandro to Cortez

9232087 — 2018-09-27 15:03:14 UTC

I agree with you Cortez. Some of the culture in India was influenced by other civilizations. My feedback to you is that you can give a little bit more details to your response. My question is how did India create new things with the resources they were given from trading?

Abraham to Donnavan

9210512 — 2018-09-27 15:04:00 UTC

In what specific and important ways were the religion so special.

Micaiah to Shawn

20029339 — 2018-09-27 15:05:15 UTC

Your opinion is okay and your entitled to it. A connection is when Egyptians died they were buried .

Maurice to Donovan

9234394 — 2018-09-27 15:08:23 UTC

I agree with your idea on trade being a key feature to society.
