On 15 August 1947, India peacefully became free and independent from the British Empire.

One of the people who led the freedom movement was Mahatma Gandhi, who only used peaceful tactics, including a way called " ahimsa", which means "non-violence". In the early 1900s, millions of people peacefully started to protest against British control. In the 1600s, European countries invaded India, and the British controlled most of India by 1856. Some of these were the Mughal, Vijayanagara, and the Maratha empires. Many dynasties ruled India around the year 1000. The influence of Cholas are still well noticeable in SE Asia. The Cholas of Thanjavur were pioneers at war in the seas and invaded Malaya, Borneo, Cambodia. Southern India at that time was famous for its science, art, and writing. Even later (100 BC AD 1100), other Indian dynasties (empires) came, including the Chalukyas, Cholas, Pallavas, and Pandyas. From 180 BC, many other countries invaded India. It made most of South Asia into one whole country. Later, a king named Chandragupt Maurya built an empire called the Maurya Empire in 300 BC. The country founded a religion called Hinduism, which most Indians still follow. Both of these languages are more than 3000 years old. Two of the main classical languages of the world Tamil language and Sanskrit language were born in India.

The first three religions originated from the Indian subcontinent along with Jainism. People of many different religions live there, including the five most popular world religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Islam, and Christianity. India has the fourth largest number of spoken languages per country in the world, only behind Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, and Nigeria.
