Mayans
The Mayan civilization was spread through what is now Guatemala, El Salvador, Belize, western Honduras, and the southern regions of Mexico. The Mayans are well known for creating the only fully developed written language of pre-Columbian Americas. The Mayans were at the height of their civilization from about 300 to 900 AD, although there are still Mayans today in certain areas of Guatemala and Mexico.

Poop The economy of India, measured in USD exchange-rate terms, is the twelfth largest in the world, with a GDP of US $1 trillion (2008).It had a GDP growth rate of 9.0% for the fiscal year 2007-2008.However, India's huge population has a per capita income of $4,542 at PPP and $1,089 in nominal terms (revised 2007 estimate).The World Bank classifies India as a low-income economy. India's economy is diverse, encompassing agriculture, handicrafts, textile, manufacturing, and a multitude of services. Although two-thirds of the Indian workforce still earn their livelihood directly or indirectly through agriculture, services are a growing sector and play an increasingly important role of India's economy. The advent of the digital age, and the large number of young and educated populace fluent in English, is gradually transforming India as an important 'back office' destination for global outsourcing of customer services and technical support. India is a major exporter of highly-skilled workers in software and financial services, and software engineering. Other sectors like manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, nanotechnology, telecommunication, shipbuilding, aviation , tourism and retailing are showing strong potentials with higher growth rates. India followed a socialist-inspired approach for most of its independent history, with strict government control over private sector participation, foreign trade, and foreign direct investment. However, since the early 1990s, India has gradually opened up its markets through economic reforms by reducing government controls on foreign trade and investment. The privatisation of publicly owned industries and the opening up of certain sectors to private and foreign interests has proceeded slowly amid political debate. India faces a fast-growing population and the challenge of reducing economic and social inequality. Poverty remains a serious problem, although it has declined significantly since independence. Official surveys estimated that in the year 2004-2005, 27% of Indians were poor. source:: wikipedia.

The answer to the riddle is: The big Indian was his mother.
Note: There is nothing politically incorrect about identifying the ethnicity of the pipe smokers and until the U.S. Government changes the name of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the term "Indian" can be used without intending insult when referring to a Native American. This is an Indian riddle, and has been an Indian riddle for ages.
The importance of leaving the ethnicity specified is to cause the person who is being asked the riddle to re-evaluate their mental image of "Indian". With only a few exceptional cases, such as Sakajawea, most non-Native Americans can be expected to envision a male when they hear the term "Indian". Michael posed a similar riddle to Archie on an episode of "All in the Family". The intent was to demonstrate Archie's close-mindedness since he could not imagine a woman being a surgeon. A man brings his son to the emergency room. Shortly afterwards, the boy is brought to the surgeon and his father stays in the waiting room. The surgeon examines the boy and announces: "I cannot operate on this boy, he is my son."

What was the political system of the Mayans?
Mayanists have been increasingly accepting a "court paradigm" of Classic Maya societies which puts the emphasis on the centrality of the royal household and especially the person of the king. This approach focuses on Maya monumental spaces as the embodiment of the diverse activities of the royal household. It considers the role of places and spaces (including dwellings of royalty and nobles, throne rooms, temples, halls and plazas for public ceremonies) in establishing power and social hierarchy, and also in projecting aesthetic and moral values to define the wider social realm.
Spanish sources invariably describe even the largest Maya settlements as dispersed collections of dwellings grouped around the temples and palaces of the ruling dynasty and lesser nobles. None of the Classic Maya cities shows evidence of economic specialization and commerce of the scale of Mexican Tenochtitlan. Instead, Maya cities could be seen as enormous royal households, the locales of the administrative and ritual activities of the royal court. They were the places where privileged nobles could approach the holy ruler, where aesthetic values of the high culture were formulated and disseminated, where aesthetic items were consumed. They were the self-proclaimed centers and the sources of social, moral, and cosmic order. The fall of a royal court as in the well-documented cases ofPiedras Negras or Copan would cause the inevitable "death" of the associated settlement.
What were some of the Mayan laws?
Some Mayan laws are domestic, such as obedience to the male and the spirits. Other laws were more political, such as the gathering of sacrificial subjects from neighboring villages.
The Mayans are still in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. Although they abandoned the impressive civilization they created before the Spanish arrived and returned to a primitive existence, they never left, and they did not die out, and they did not assimilate or lose their cultural identity. The Mayans are still where they were.
