Ancient Period (c. 3000 BCE – c. 10th century CE) - This broad era included the flourishing Indus Valley Civilization, the Mauryan Empire, and the Gupta Empire. During the Mauryan era (after 3rd century BCE), the Indian subcontinent contributed close to one-third of the global GDP. The Gupta period (4th to 6th centuries CE) is often referred to as India's "Golden Age" due to significant advancements in science, art, philosophy, and metallurgy, which were supported by substantial economic prosperity.This figure is widely identified by historians as the Gupta Emperor Chandragupta II (c. 380–415 CE), who assumed the title Vikramaditya after defeating the Western Kshatrapas, a Saka dynasty, and annexing their territories in Western India (modern Gujarat and parts of Maharashtra). The Sakas (Indo-Scythians), who were an Iranian nomadic people, were a primary historical adversary of rulers known as Vikramaditya.
