 * 3) Summary for India:

India had no centralized government like China did and they traded internationally and internally because its geological location was so ideal. India's government was more focused on religion than politics, and was ruled by regional leaders that had extensive power. India's caste system was one of a kind in which no other nation had a social system like it. It allowed no social mobility and the only way to move up or down the social pyramid was through reincarnation. Nobody could marry out of their class. Buddhism and Hinduism were the main religions in India but were very different in which Hinduism promoted both the caste system and materialism but Buddhism denied these ideas. Indian ideas and culture was spread rapidly throughout the world because of the Silk Road and missionary works. Although India was not a political superpower, its ideas were probably the most popular around the world.
