In the early of sixteenth century Babur used Hindustan to describe the geography, the fauna, and the culture of the inhabitants of the subcontinents.

Religions have provided several themes which had enabled the variant art forms in India to flourish. Nothing has inspired artists more than the mythological tales of Mahabharata and Ramayana. The legacy of Rajput and Madhubani paintings is the perfect example of how Lord Krishna and his stories inspired the artists.

• It is interesting to know that the first discovery of rock paintings was made in India by Archibald Carlyle 12 years before the discovery of Altamira in Spain
• Cockburn, Anderson, Mitra and Ghosh were the early archaeologists who discovered a large number of sites in the Indian subcontinent.
• Remnants of rock paintings have been found on the walls of caves situated in several districts of Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Bihar.
• Some paintings have been reported from the Kumaon hills in Uttarakhand also.

The term 'Hindustan' was used for the first time by Minhaj-i Siraj, a thirteenth-century Persian chronicler. He, with this term, meant the areas of Punjab, Haryana and the lands between the Ganga and Yamuna.

Map 2 was made in the 1720s by a French cartographer. Map 1 and 2 are quite different though the area is same. In these maps south India is where we would expect to find north India and Sri lanka is the Island at the top. Map 2 was made almost 600 years after Map 1.

Map 1 is the section of world map drawn by the geographer Al-Idrist in the twelfth century showing the Indian continent. Map 1 and 2 are quite different though the area is same. In these maps south India is where we would expect to find north India and Sri lanka is the Island at the top.

We depend on each other for our emotional needs such as security, appreciation, praise and support etc. Thus, our life in society is interdependent.

When man realized that living in a group provides security, people came together to develop an organized way of life. This was one of the main motivations for the creation of society.

Food, clothing and shelter altogether make up the basic needs of man to survive in any kind of environment.

We have many needs. Food,shelter and clothing are physical needs. Once these are satisfied, man gets a sense of stability, but that is not enough. We also have some emotional and psychological needs.

A variety of industries and occupations help to fulfill our needs. For example, we need books for studying, and paper for books. That is why occupations like manufacturing paper, printing, book binding, etc also develop. Many people contribute to this process.

To feel secure is an emotional need. We are happy, we wish to share our happiness with others. Similarly, when we are sad, we wish to have somebody with us. We like the companionship of our family members, relatives and friends. These feelings reflect our social nature.

In order to fulfill needs like food, clothing, shelter and security, the society has to create a permanent system. Without such a system, the day-to-day affairs of the society cannot be carried on.

Society helps in the development of our emotional capabilities and the power to think. It also provides the opportunity for expressing our thoughts and feelings.

Society includes all people- men, women, grown-ups, old people, young children. Our families are a part of the society. Society also includes different groups,institutions and organizations.

Living in society, man felt the need for rules to help with smooth functioning of day-to-day matters. It gave rise to conventions, traditions, ethics and values, rules and laws. Man's life in society became more organized and stable.

Society includes groups, institutions and organizations. The inter-relationships and inter-actions between the people, their dependence on one another and sharing also form a part of the society.

Food, clothes, shelter, education and health are our basic needs. Education and health-related services and facilities allow us to live with dignity.

Both statements are true,Statement II provides explanation to Statement I.

Around the 1st century BC, the Shadanga or Six Limbs of Indian Painting were evolved. Vatsyayana (3rd century AD) enumerates these in his Kamasutra
They are:
Rupabheda: The knowledge of appearance
Pramanam: Correct perception, measure and structure
Bhava: Action of feelings om forms
Lavanya Yojanam: Infusion of grace, artistic representation
Sadrisyam: Similitude
VArnikaBhanga: Artistic manner of using the brush and colors
The subsequent development of painting by the Buddhists indicates that these 'Six Limbs' were put into practice by Indian artists and are the basic principles on which their art was founded.
