why is the gupta empire so important?

Question

it doesnt specifically say much in my text book

Answer 1

The Gupta Empire was one of the largest political and military empires in the world. It was ruled by members of the Gupta dynasty from around 320 to 600 CE and covered most of Northern India, the region presently in the nation of Pakistan and what is now western India and Bangladesh. The time of the Gupta Empire is referred to as Golden Age of India in science, mathematics, astronomy, religion and Indian philosophy. The peace and prosperity created under leadership of Guptas enabled the pursuit of scientific and artistic endeavors. The decimal numeral system, including the concept of zero, was invented in India during the reign of the Guptas. Historians place the Gupta dynasty alongside with the Han Dynasty, Tang Dynasty and Roman Empire as a model of a classical civilization.

What Was The Gupta Empire

Answer 3

One point to keep in mind that much history is oriented toward Western Civilization. Therefore, in the era of the Gupta dynasty, about 320 A.D. to 500 A.D. is a time when one might think mainly of the great Roman Empire and its fall. During these years when Europe was in decline, India had a great rise in its civilization.

However, many things were happening in other areas, and not just with the Gupta and India. The Gupta dynasty primarily impacted India in gaining control of terriory of the Himalayas in the north to the Narbada River in the south, and in tributaries of the Indus River in the west through most of the Ganges Valley in the east.

In addition, Gupta rule produced India's greatest advances in literature, sculpture, and arts. It produced great learning in academic fields as well as in spreading primarily Hinduism, and to a lesser degree Buddhism. This culture spread to Southeast Asia influncing court ceremonies, language, and religious practices.
