Ancient India

Once Again, New History Assignment.

Buddha's name is Siddartha

Snakes and ladders was actually invented by Indians

Kyshatrias were the warrior class of the Indians

The Buddhists Believe In Reincarnation

Buddha Met An Old Man, A Sick Man, And A Corpse.

A Lot Of What We Know About Ancient India Was Told To Us By British Historians.

Brahmins were the top class of the Indians.

On The Other Hand, Harijans Were At The Bottom.

Sudras Were The Second To WORST Class For The Indians

Dharma is one's role in life and society

Buddha Taught The Four Noble Truths: 1:All Life Is Suffering 2:The Source Of Suffering Is Desire 3:To Stop Suffering, You Must Rid Yourself Of Desire. 4:All Of This Can Be Done By Following The Eightfold Path.

Ashoka Followed Buddha's Ways, But He Didn't Really Do It Right.

 Buddha Could Not Get Out Of His House Because His Parent.... Dad, I Should Say Heard That The Kingdom Would Fall If He Ever Learnt About Suffering.

 Ashoka's Empire Didn't Outlast Him By Much.

 Buddhism Changed In China A LOT.

Hinduism Is The Most Flexible Of Religions

Hinduism Was Divided Into Scripts Called The Vedas

If You Fulfill Your Dharma, You Get Promoted! YAY!

With Enough Promotions You Get Released From The Cycle. Moksha. That's What It's Called.
