Well, according to History, Early form of Writing started here.

Early Hindus don't have writings, only Oral Memorizing the texts. Written texts like today's Gita and Vedas comes around 3100 B.C. This in turn made it possible Hindusm and Buddhism to spread outside India to Asia, carried forth by Merchants.

This also enable scholars from Hindusm and Buddhism to study each other's text, debate and continued to develop new understanding of things. Medicine, principles of Science and many more were result of this.

Other than that, there's also creation of Wheel from this Civilisation, which made is easier for transportation and such.

The Development of
Scripts in India

The extensive excavations carried out at the two principal city sites, Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, both situated in the Indus basin, indicates that this Dravidian culture was well established by about 2500 B.C., and subsequent discoveries have revealed that it covered most of the Lower Indus Valley. What we know of this ancient civilization is derived almost exclusively from archaeological data since every attempt to decipher the script used by these people has failed so far. Recent analyses of the order of the signs on the inscriptions have led several scholars to the view that the language is not of the Indo-European family, nor is it close to the Sumerians, Hurrians, or Elamite, nor can it be related to the structure of the Munda languages of modern India. If it is related to any modern language family it appears to be Dravidian akin to Old Tamil, presently spoken throughout the southern part of the Indian Peninsula.

What this points to is the existence of a system of writing far more ancient than what was originally considered. For instance when the Indian scripts are grouped, the southern scripts form a class of their own. The Grantha alphabet, which belongs to the writing system of southern India, developed in the 5th c. AD and was mainly used to write Sanskrit. Inscriptions in Early Grantha, dating from the 5th to 6th c. AD are on copper plates and stone monuments from the kingdom of the Pallavas near Chennai (Madras).

The influx of foreign invaders through the northwest over the centuries, forced the Dravidians, the original inhabitants of India, south. Scholars have indicated that the south has been the gateway for religious and cultural developments in India. Originally Grantha was used for writing Sanskrit only, and Sanskrit was later transliterated with Nagiri after the 7th c. AD. Scholars over the years have indicated that many Hindu writings have been tampered with, and certainly this could have happened during the transliteration process. The later varieties of the Grantha script were used to write a number of Dravidian Languages, and the modern Tamil script certainly seems to be derived from Grantha.

The four major languages桾elugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam梡ossess independent scripts and literary histories dating from the pre-Christian Era. Recognized by 8th schedule of constitution of India, they form the basis of the linguistic states of Andhra Pradesh (established as the first Indian linguistic state in 1953), Tamil Nadu, Karnataka (formerly Mysore), and Kerala.

Of the Dravidian languages, Tamil has the oldest literature, paralleled in India only by that of Sanskrit. Its phonological and grammatical systems correspond in many points to the ancestral parent language, called Proto-Dravidian.

Pada pendapat saya...dan kajian saya...Budisme wujud setelah Hinduism diwujudkan...oleh itu dan Gauthama Buddha ialah seorang Hindu...jadi Tamadun ini memang menyumbang kearah hinduism...
