The classical civilizations of China and India have many similar qualities as well as differences. With Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism in China and Hinduism in India, the affects on politics in both areas contrast immensely. Also, social systems become present in both regions, but differ in formality and severity such as the caste system in India. The dynastic cycle occurs in China consisting of a constant pattern of the rise and fall of a dynasty eventually forming a central government. Meanwhile, Indian dynasties do not unify the government as greatly with many kingdoms throughout the subcontinent. Religious variations, social classes, and various dynasties create distinct civilizations that influence modern day China and India.
