Answers for essay: 1,The information learned from the Vedas are how the Indo-Aryans lived. From those books we have learned that they where herders. Your wealth depended on how much cattle you had, they practiced agriculture, and they irrigated crops. All this information would not have been clear without the Vedas.
2,Hindus worship so many gods because they believe that Brahma is the creator or the supreme one and the rest are his protector and his members.
3,The Indian subcontinent encompasses several distinct geographical features. Along the northern border are the Himalayan mountains, which create a natural border between India, Pakistan, and Nepal. The western region of the Indian subcontinent consists of the Hindu Kush mountain range, separating Pakistan from Afghanistan.
4,Ashoka the Great (r. 268-232 BCE) was the third king of the Mauryan Empire (322-185 BCE) best known for his renunciation of war, development of the concept of dhamma (pious social conduct), and promotion of Buddhism as well as his effective reign of a nearly pan-Indian political entity. At its height, under Ashoka, the Mauryan Empire stretched from modern-day Iran through almost the entirety of the Indian subcontinent. Ashoka was able to rule this vast empire initially through the precepts of the political treatise known as the Arthashastra, attributed to the Prime Minister Chanakya (also known as Kautilya and Vishnugupta, l. c. 350-275 BCE) who served under Ashoka’s grandfather Chandragupta (r. c. 321-c.297 BCE) who founded the empire.

To find the answer to this question, we can start by understanding the context of the question. The Vedas refer to a collection of ancient religious texts in Hinduism that were composed in ancient India. These texts provide insights into the social, cultural, and religious practices of the time.
Now let's look at the options provided:
A. Farmers: This option suggests that Indo-Aryans were engaged in agriculture.
B. Herders: This option implies that Indo-Aryans were involved in animal husbandry.
C. Hunters: This option suggests that Indo-Aryans relied on hunting for survival.
D. Gatherers: This option implies that Indo-Aryans relied on gathering wild plants and fruits for sustenance.
To determine the answer, we can eliminate options based on logical reasoning. The Vedas mention various rituals and prayers related to agricultural practices, such as plowing and planting. This implies that the Indo-Aryans had knowledge and engagement in agriculture. On the other hand, there isn't substantial evidence or mention of hunting, herding, or gathering in the Vedas.
Based on this analysis, we can conclude that according to stories in the Vedas, scholars believe that the Indo-Aryans first lived as farmers (option A) rather than herders, hunters, or gatherers.
