The environment of India has been essential to its production. The geography varies in different parts of the country. The lower Indus Valley is a desert; however, to the south and east of this region, there is increased rainfall. Eastern and southern India depends greatly on the monsoon, which in the summer brings heavy rainfall helping to support the natural vegetation in that area of the country. Not only does India depend on the monsoon, but also on the Indus River. It floods yearly helping to fertilize the soil in the Indus River Valley, which leads to different types of production in India. It made an excellent place for farmers to grow crops. They had an irrigation-based agriculture, which brought water to the farms. They domesticated rice, wheat, and ba

India and Greece are just two of the many examples that illustrate how environment influenced production and production influenced the formation of culture. Each step such as environment, production, etc. is essential to the next; therefore, this explains how they are greatly influenced by each other. The long lasting effects are still present in today’s world. Not only is this still apparent from the ancient times, but it is still occurring in the world today.

The production that took place in India led to the formation of culture throughout the country. Large, centralized monarchies began to rise in the Ganges Valley about 800 B.C.E. The monarchies started due to the rice farming that had begun to draw rulers, soldiers, administrators, and other specialists associated with civilized life to this area. Not only did this bring about the rise of powerful monarchies, but it also brought about the rise of cities and states in this part of India. In other areas of India such as the Indus Valley, changes in society and politics were not occurring. In southern India herding, hunting and gathering, and slash-and-burn cultivation was still supporting the small populations in that part of the country. The first empire that developed in India was the Mauryan Empire in 322 B.C.E. Chandragupta Maurya was the head of this efficient, harsh, and bureaucratic empire.

Religion was somewhat different from the religion present in India. The Greek religion was very confusing due to the fact that there were many gods with functions and powers that overlapped, no single body of experts had the job of preserving or elaborating religious truths, and there were secret societies that individuals could be a part of and acquire religious knowledge or some other sort of religious benefit. Most Greeks went along with these confusing ideas, but there were some who were not satisfied with the theological confusion they had inherited. Therefore, Thales of Miletus came up with a theory that the world was made from water. However, he had no proof of his theory, so later philosophers tried to improve on his suggestion. The result of their studies was a law of nature. They believed the gods were mere fairy tales and used only natural laws in explanations. The two views of God’s will and natural law still remain alive today, and combining them continues to be a problem.
