1. Hinduism, the oldest religion in the world

Hinduism is often considered more a way of life than a religion because Hinduism has no single founder and have many key figures who have written and developed philosophies in different books. That’s why Hinduism is often considered more a way of life than a religion because normally a religion has a founder or/and a key figure like Abraham and Moses and David for the Judaism

1. The jewel in the crown

As early as the 16th century, the British establish a trading company in India mainly to trade cotton, tea, spices, silk … But in 1857, the Indian Mutiny began because of the British commanders who have greased rifle cartridges with pig and cow fat which caused the anger of the Hindu and the Muslim soldiers first and then spread throughout to the population of the British India. After the Indian Mutiny, the British East India Company was dissolved and the Queen Victoria was made Empress of India in 1877.

1. Towards independence

After the First World War, an independence movement emerged in India. Gandhi is the symbol of this non-violent campaign based on civil disobedience. But there is tensions between Muslims and Hindus. The Hindus are a majority of people in India and Muslims are worried about what will be the situation after the British departure. They worried about an exclusively Hindu government and the Muslim League asked to get the creation of another state, they asked the division of India which was granted.

1. The world’s largest democracy

1. I think India is considered as the largest democracy in the world because this is a country which has more than one billion people and there are still presidential elections.
2. My answer isn’t totally true but also not totally false. India is considered as the largest democracy in the world because India is today an independent democracy, India has survived of overpopulation, poverty, internal conflicts and has never known government collapse or military takeover. India is enough strong today to deal with this overpopulation.
