Vedic Society (Aryans) (1 janv. 1500 av. J.-C. – 1 sept. 426 av. J.-C.)
Description:
GUESS WHO'S BACK(remember those migrations)
(yeah)
Aryans move into northern India
(time seems to be difficult in this general area so again let's say by 1500 Harappan society was 99% gone and Aryans had already started moving in)
Mostly pastoral economy (cattle is a pretty big deal)
No writing
Oral culture
(Don't forget the patriarchy)
Men were social leaders, heads of family nuclei, heirs, religious leaders, warriors, etc
Women didn't have that many religious or political responsibility, so they didn't learn about the Vedas or Sanskrit
Sati: widow willingly throws herself into her husband's pyre because she can't live without him
