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 here, while Islam,
Christianity, Judaism and Zoroastrianism arrived in the first
millennium CE and shaped India's variegated culture. Gradually annexed
by the British East India Company from the early eighteenth century and
colonised by Great Britain from the mid-nineteenth century, India
became a modern nation-state in 1947 after a struggle for independence
marked by widespread use of nonviolent resistance as a means of social
protest.
With
the world's 4th largest economy in purchasing power and 12th by
exchange rates, India has made rapid progress in the last decade,
especially in information technology. India's standard of living is
projected to rise sharply in the next half-century, although currently
it continues to battle high levels of poverty, higher levels of
illiteracy among women, persistent malnutrition, and environmental
degradation. A pluralistic, multi-lingual, multi-ethnic country, India
is also home to a diversity of wildlife in a variety of protected
habitats.
