During the Gupta period from A.D. 320 to about A.D. 500, India's literature, sculpture, and other arts reached high levels of accomplishment. Textile manufacturing and trade with China and Southeast Asia flourished. Music and dance developed the complex forms that formed the basis of classical Indian music and dance. Sanskrit, India's classical language, flowered during the Gupta period. Hindu schools and Buddhist monasteries taught astronomy, grammar, mathematics, medicine, philosophy and religion. Gupta mathematicians invented the decimal system and the numerals that most of the world uses today. Under the Guptas, Hinduism developed many of the social and religious forms found today. I hope that this has been a help to you.
