India is a country in South Asia. It is the 7th larg country by area, the second-most populous country, and the most populous democracy in the world. Surrounded by the Indian Ocean to the south, the Arabian Sea to the southwest, and the Bay of Bengal to the southeast, it borders Pakistan to the west; China, Nepal and Bhutan in the north; and Bangladesh and Myanmar to the east. In the Indian Ocean, India is close to Sri Lanka and the Maldives; its Andaman and Nicobar Islands share maritime borders with Thailand, Myanmar and Indonesia.
Modern humans arrived in the Indian subcontinent from Africa no later than 55,000 years ago. Their long occupation, initially in various forms of isolation as hunter-gatherers, has made the region highly diverse, second only to Africa in human genetic diversity. Sedentary life began on the subcontinent on the western edge of the Indus basin 9000 years ago, gradually evolving into the Indus Valley civilization in the third millennium BC. By 1200 BC. the archaic form of Sanskrit, the Indo-European language, spread to India from the northwest, unfolding as the language of the Rig Veda and fixing the origin of Hinduism in India. The Dravidian languages of India were supplanted in the northern and western regions. By 400 BC in Hinduism, stratification and caste exclusion arose, Buddhism and Jainism arose, proclaiming social orders not associated with heredity. Early political alliances led to the emergence of cohesive Mauryan and Gupta empires based in the Ganges basin. Their collective era was filled with widespread creativity but was also marked by a decline in the status of women and the incorporation of untouchability into an organized belief system. In South India, the Middle Kingdoms exported Dravidian scripts and religious cultures to the kingdoms of Southeast Asia.
During the early Middle Ages, Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Zoroastrianism took root on the south and west coast of India. Muslim armies from Central Asia periodically invaded the northern plains of India, eventually creating the Delhi Sultanate and drawing India north into the cosmopolitan networks of medieval Islam. In the 15th century, the Vijayanagara Empire created a long-lasting composite Hindu culture in southern India. Sikhism emerged in Punjab, rejecting institutionalized religion. The Mughal Empire in 1526 marked the beginning of two centuries of relative peace, leaving behind vibrant architecture. This was followed by the gradual expansion of the rule of the British East India Company, transforming India into a colonial economy but also strengthening its sovereignty. The reign of the British Crown began in 1858. The rights promised to the Indians were granted slowly, but technological changes were made and ideas of education, modernity and social life took root. An innovative and influential nationalist movement emerged with nonviolent resistance and was a major factor at the end of British rule. In 1947, the British Indian Empire was divided into two independent dominions, a Hindu-dominated dominion in India and a Muslim-majority dominion in Pakistan, as a result of widespread loss of life and unprecedented migration.
