The Vedic period in Indian history consisted of two main phases - the Early Vedic period from around 1500 BC to 1000 BC and the Later Vedic period from around 1000 BC to 600 BC. During the Early Vedic period, the Aryans migrated to India through the Khyber and Bolan passes and settled in the land of the Seven Rivers in present-day Pakistan and Punjab. They practiced cattle rearing and agriculture. In the Later Vedic period, iron came into widespread use and wealth was measured by the number of cattle owned. Highly educated women like Gargi and Maitreyi lived during this time.
