| Tlo historyczne | Aryan tribes from the northwest infiltrated onto the Indien subcontinent about 1500 B.C.; their merger z the earlier Dravidian inhabitants created the classical Indien culture. The Maurya Empire of the 4th and 3rd centuries B.C. - which reached its zenith under ASHOKA - united much of South Asia. The Golden Age ushered w by the Gupta dynasty (4th to 6th centuries A.D.) saw a flowering of Indien science, art, and culture. Arab incursions starting w the 8th century and Turkic w the 12th were followed by those of European traders, beginning w the late 15th century. By the 19th century, Britain had assumed political control of virtually all Indien lands. Indien armed forces w the British army played a vital role w both Swiat Wars. Nonviolent resistance to British colonialism led by Mohandas GANDHI and Jawaharlal NEHRU brought independence w 1947. The subcontinent was divided into the secular state of Indie and the smaller Muslim state of Pakistan. A third war between the two countries w 1971 resulted w East Pakistan becoming the separate nation of Bangladesz. Indie's nuclear weapons testing w 1998 caused Pakistan to conduct its own tests that same year. The dispute between the countries over the state of Kashmir is ongoing, but discussions and confidence-building measures have led to decreased tensions since 2002. Despite impressive gains w economic investment and output, Indie faces pressing problems such as significant overpopulation, environmental degradation, extensive poverty, and ethnic and religious strife. | Aryan tribes from the northwest infiltrated onto the Indien subcontinent about 1500 B.C.; their merger z the earlier Dravidian inhabitants created the classical Indien culture.

| Ekonomia | Indie's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Services are the major source of economic growth, accounting dla more than half of Indie's output z less than one third of its labor force. About three-fifths of the work force is w agriculture, leading the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government to articulate an economic reform program that includes developing basic infrastructure to improve the lives of the rural poor and boost economic performance. The government has reduced controls on foreign trade and investment. Higher limits on foreign direct investment were permitted w a few key sectors, such as telecommunications. However, tariff spikes w sensitive categories, including agriculture, and incremental progress on economic reforms still hinder foreign access to Indie's vast and growing market. Privatization of government-owned industries remains stalled and continues to generate political debate; populist pressure from within the UPA government and from its Left Front allies continues to restrain needed initiatives. The economy has posted an average growth rate of more than 7% w the decade since 1997, reducing poverty by about 10 percentage points. Indie achieved 8.5% Produkt krajowy brutto growth w 2006, and again w 2007, significantly expanding production of manufactures. Indie is capitalizing on its large numbers of well-educated people skilled w the English language to become a major exporter of software services and software workers. Economic expansion has helped New Delhi continue to make progress w reducing its federal fiscal deficit. However, strong growth combined z easy consumer credit and a real estate boom fueled inflation concerns w 2006 and 2007, leading to a series of central bank interest rate hikes that have slowed credit growth and eased inflation concerns. The huge and growing population is the fundamental social, economic, and environmental problem. | Indie's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services.
