India, the second most populous country in the world, has a rich and diverse history. The land has been ruled by a number of empires and dynasties, each leaving a lasting impact on Indian society.
 
The first major Indian dynasty was the Maurya Empire. Founded in 321 BC by Chandragupta Maurya, the Maurya Empire was one of the largest empires in world history. It extended from present-day Pakistan to Bangladesh and from central India to the eastern coast. The Mauryas were known for their great achievements in politics, administration, economy, and culture.
 
The next major dynasty was the Gupta Empire. Founded in 320 AD by Sri Gupta, the Gupta Empire was one of the most prosperous empires in Indian history. It covered a large area of the subcontinent, with its capital at Pataliputra (present-day Patna). The Gupta period is considered the Golden Age of India, as it saw a great flourishing of Indian culture and art.
 
The next major Indian dynasty was the Mughal Empire. The Mughals were a Muslim dynasty that ruled most of the Indian subcontinent from 1526 to 1857. Under the Mughals, India reached its greatest extent, covering almost all of the Indian subcontinent. The Mughals were known for their art and architecture, and for their patronage of the arts.
 
The British East India Company gradually gained control over large parts of India in the 18th century. In 1858, the company was dissolved and India was officially made a part of the British Empire. India remained a British colony until 1947, when it gained independence.
 
Since independence, India has been a democracy, with a parliamentary system of government. The country has had a number of presidents and prime ministers, and has seen great economic and social progress. However, India has also faced a number of challenges, including poverty, corruption, and religious and ethnic
violence.

20 Jallianwala Bagh, Punjab

20 Jallianwala Bagh, Punjab View Gallery - 21
The Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, also known as the Amritsar Massacre, took place on 13 April 1919 when troops of the British Indian Army under the command of Colonel Reginald Dyer fired rifles into a crowd of unarmed civilians, killing 379 and wounding 1,137.
 
The civilians had gathered in Jallianwala Bagh, a public garden in the city of Amritsar in the Punjab region of India, to celebrate the Hindu festival of Baisakhi.
 
On hearing that a gathering of 10,000 to 20,000 people had gathered in the Bagh, Dyer marched his troops into the garden, where they began firing indiscriminately into the crowd for 10 minutes.
 
Dyer later said that he had ordered his troops to fire because he believed that the crowd was about to attack the soldiers. Some historians have argued that the massacre was instead a deliberate act of revenge for the earlier killing of a British officer by a crowd in the city.
