We all do read newpapers daily, so we have a decent amount of Business Awareness; afterall we are MBA aspirants. But what we don’t do on our own is search and read the general awareness material. In order to make you more aware about some of general topics of GK, I am starting a general awareness campaign in which I will be sharing a small topic daily. What you need is to give your 10 min and read it. It will definitely be helpful.
I will start with History, the weakest section of most MBA aspirants:
ANCIENT INDIA
1. Stone Age
a) Paleolithic Age – This period was essentially the stage of hunters and food gatherers. They
used crude tools made of flakes. They had no knowledge of cultivation and house building.
Goat, sheep & other cattle were used. They lived on roots & fruits. By the end of the Paleolithic
Age, the flint industry came up. The important development of this age was the emergence of
Homo-Sapiens.
b) Mesolithic Age – This age was the transition between the Paleolithic & the Neolithic Ages.
Mesolithic people lived on hunting, fishing & food gathering. At a later stage, they domesticated
animals. They used microlith – a small raw-stone tool.
c) Neolithic Age – These people used tools & implements of polished stone. They particularly used stone
axes. Parashurama became an important axe-wielding hero. Dwelling pits, ceramics, a variety of stone
& bone tools & a complete absence of microliths marked this age. Cattle, sheep & goat were
domesticated.
