Answer: Option C. -> 1, 2, 3 and 4
Answer: (c)
In the beginning, the Aryans were inhabited in the areas of Saptasindhu region, i.e. North-western part of India. The region is traversed by seven rivers, viz. Indus, Ravi, Sutlej, Beas, Jhelum, Chenab, Saraswati; hence the name Saptasindhu. At that stage, they had a certain kind of uniform culture.
However, after two-three centuries, in search of pasture, they migrated in the more internal part of India. At this stage, they met various tribes, communities that were foreign to them. Such new relations influenced their culture; and, in this period, we find Aryans following some different kind of culture.
Thus, regarding Vedic culture, we find two stages of its development, termed as Early Vedic Period, (Saptasindhu region) and Later Vedic Period (more internal part of India). The literature, they had created in these two periods indicate the cultural change through which the Vedic Aryans went.
