GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -The Vedic Age was between 1500 BC and 600 BC. This is the next major civilization that occurred in ancient India after the decline of the Indus Valley Civilization by 1400 BC. The Vedas were composed in this period and this gives this age the name. The Vedas are also the chief source of information about this era.

Detailed explanation-2: -The early Vedic age is historically dated to the second half of the second millennium BCE. Historically, after the collapse of the Indus Valley civilisation, which occurred around 1900 BCE, groups of Indo-Aryan peoples migrated into north-western India and started to inhabit the northern Indus Valley.

Detailed explanation-3: -The philological and linguistic evidence indicates that the Rig Veda is one of the oldest existing texts in any Indo-European language and that probably originated from the region of present day Pakistan, between 1500 and 1200 BCE.
