About India
Four major world religions, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainsim and Sikhism, originated in India; and Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam arrived with traders in the first millennium CE and helped shape the region’s diverse culture. While Hindi and English are the official languages, there are more than 1,500 dialects. Family life and school are central in India. Most of India is rural, though the cities are growing.
