About India
India is a country in South Asia. It is the Seventh-Largest country by
area and second-largest by population and most populous democracy in the
world.
Home to the Indus Valley Civilization and a region of historic trade routes and vast empires, the Indian subcontinent was identified with its commercial and cultural wealth for much of its long history. Four major world religions, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism originated there, while Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam arrived in the first millennium CE and shaped the region's diverse culture.
India got its independence on August 15th, 1947. It was the day when the Indians got liberated from the rule of the British.
Agriculture is not only the dominant occupations of the people of India but is also one of the most important economic sectors for the country.
