History

harina [27]3 years ago

The correct answer is "The California Gold Rush brought in people from all over the world, which resulted in cultural diffusion among the settlers there". The California Gold Rush started in 1848 when James W. Marshall found gold at Sutter's Mill, news that attracted 300,000 people to California from around the United States and abroad. This period of the early West is considered a crossroad of culture because people from distant cities and countries interacted with the aim to found gold.

Identify and explain ONE response to the spread of Islam within India.
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Islam in India existed in communities along the Arab coastal trade routes in Gujarat, Kerala, and Bengal as soon as the religion originated and had gained early acceptance in the Arabian Peninsula, though the first incursion through sea by the new Muslim successor states of the Arab World occurred around 636 CE or 643 AD, during the Rashidun Caliphate, long before any Arab army reached the frontier of India by land.

Explanation:

Islam is the second-largest religion in India,[6] with 14.2% of the country's population or approx. 172 million people identifying as adherents of Islam (2011 census).[7][8] It makes India the country with the largest Muslim population outside Muslim-majority countries. The majority of Indian Muslims belong to Sunni sect of Islam while the Shia form a sizeable minority.

Islam in India existed in communities along the Arab coastal trade routes in Gujarat, Kerala, and Bengal as soon as the religion originated and had gained early acceptance in the Arabian Peninsula, though the first incursion through sea by the new Muslim successor states of the Arab World occurred around 636 CE or 643 AD, during the Rashidun Caliphate, long before any Arab army reached the frontier of India by land. The Barwada Mosque in Ghogha, Gujarat built before 623 CE, Cheraman Juma Mosque (629 CE) in Methala, Kerala and Palaiya Jumma Palli (or The Old Jumma Masjid - 628 - 630 CE) in Kilakarai, Tamil Nadu are three of the first mosques in India which were built by seafaring Arab Merchants.[9][10][11][12][13] Islam arrived in North India in the 12th century via the Ghurids conquest and has since become a part of India's religious and cultural heritage.

The Delhi Sultanate and the Mughal Empire have ruled most of South Asia and the Bengal Sultanate, the Deccan sultanates and the Sur Empire have played major economic and political roles. The peak of the Islamic rule in India was marked under the sharia and proto-industrialised[14] reign of emperor Aurangzeb, the world's largest economy, upon the compilation and establishment of the Fatawa Alamgiri.[15][16][17] The re-introduction of further Islamic policies by Mysore King Tipu Sultan contributed to the South Indian culture.[18][19] The Hyderabad State ruled by the Nizams served as the last self-governing princely state of India until its annexation by the Dominion of India. Over the centuries, there has been significant integration of Hindu and Muslim cultures across India[20][21] and Muslims have played a notable role in economics, politics, and culture of India.[22]

Why was the great wall of china considered a zone of transition
jeyben [28]

The Great Wall is a fortificated East-to-West line which historically has delimited the Chinese Northern border. Its primary purpouse was to defend the Chinese territory against the invasions and quick raids organized by the nomadic people from the Eurasian Steppe lands, located more to the North.

But rather than as a fixed border, it should be regarded as a transition zone which establishes a distinction between two different lifestyles, even nowadays: the farmer regions in the South with sedentary ways of life and the pasture lands in the North, where its inhabitants have nomadic lifestyles and work mainly in animal husbandry activities.
