Best Places to Visit in India | Incredible India..!!

India is a country in South Asia that is officially known as the Republic of India (Hindi: Bharat Ganrajya). It is the world's seventh-largest country in terms of land area, the second-most populated country, and the world's most populous democracy. It shares land boundaries with Pakistan to the west, China, Nepal, and Bhutan to the north, and Bangladesh and Myanmar to the east, all of which are bordered by the Indian Ocean on the south, the Arabian Sea on the southwest, and the Bay of Bengal on the southeast. India borders Sri Lanka and the Maldives in the Indian Ocean, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands have a maritime border with Thailand, Myanmar, and Indonesia.

55,000 years ago, modern people arrived on the Indian subcontinent from Africa. Their long occupancy as hunter-gatherers, which began in various degrees of isolation, has resulted in a territory that is very diverse, second only to Africa in terms of human genetic variety.  Settled life first appeared on the subcontinent 9,000 years ago, on the western outskirts of the Indus river basin, and gradually evolved into the Indus Valley Civilisation of the third millennium BCE.  By 1200 BCE, an archaic version of Sanskrit, an Indo-European language, had diffused into India from the northwest, emerging as the Rigveda's language and documenting the birth of Hinduism in India.  In India's northern and western regions, the Dravidian languages were displaced. [

By 400 BCE, Hinduism had developed caste segregation and exclusion, while Buddhism and Jainism had evolved, asserting social hierarchies unrelated to heredity.  The loose-knit Maurya and Gupta Empires located in the Ganges Basin arose from early political consolidations.  Their age was characterised by a wide range of creativity, as well as the decline of women's status and the consolidation of untouchability into an organised system of religion. [g]  The Middle Countries of South India introduced Dravidian-language scripts and religious cultures to Southeast Asian kingdoms. 

Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and Zoroastrianism all established themselves in India's southern and western coasts throughout the early mediaeval period.  Muslim troops from Central Asia invaded India's northern plains on several occasions, eventually creating the Delhi Sultanate and integrating northern India into mediaeval Islam's cosmopolitan networks.  The Vijayanagara Empire established a long-lasting composite Hindu culture in south India in the 15th century.  Sikhism arose in the Punjab, opposing institutionalised religion.  The Mughal Empire, which began in 1526 and ended in 1526, brought two centuries of relative peace to the subcontinent, leaving a legacy of dazzling architecture. [h]  The British East India Company gradually expanded its influence, converting India into a colonial economy while simultaneously cementing its sovereignty.  In 1858, the British Crown took control of the country. 

The promised rights to Indians were gradually granted,  However, technological advancements ushered forth new ideals about education, modernity, and public life.  The emergence of a pioneering and influential nationalist movement, known for nonviolent resistance, played a crucial role in the end of British rule.  The British Indian Empire was partitioned into two autonomous dominions in 1947, a Hindu-majority Dominion of India and a Muslim-majority Dominion of Pakistan, resulting in widespread death and tremendous migration.
