Books

Whatever I found amusing in the books I have read. So these are notes
from those books.

### The Discovery Of India:  

-   *The Discovery Of India* is a book written by first
        prime-minister of India, Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru.  

-   Interesting ideas of "ending" of **Sindhu Ghati civilization**
        die to Aryan immigration.  

-   Aryan's bring religion with them which lead them to believe in
        Gods and therefore the supernatural. These gods are mentioned in **Vedas**.  

-   The people from **Paniya civilization** might extinct due to
        Aryans.  

-   After some time **Vedas** become part of supersitition.  

-   This leads to writing of **Vedanta** and exploration of
        different philiosophies which are cited in this book. Some of
        the main philosophies cited in the book, are:  
        - [Ajivikism](ajivika)
        - [Buddhism](buddhism). 
        - [Jainism](jainism). 
        - [Charvaka](charvaka)
