Copper in Ancient India c7.s2.5

c7.s2.5

But European analogies are not always very safe guides in determining questions of age relating to ancient Indian history. European analogy would suggest a bronze age to have intervened between the stone and iron ages, in India, whilst as a matter of fact there was no bronze age in India. If any guess regarding the probable date of the copper age is permissible, such hypothesis should be based mainly on internal evidence as the evolution of Indian civilization took place in a different manner from Ireland. I would venture to put forward here my own views on the subject.
