Hi, India was earlier known as hindustan, coz we were all hindus, europeans arabs and muslims did come to india and stayed for more than century and then the britishers came and stayed for a century or so, we have not only given them shelter but allowed them to stay, so now it is India coz of all and many religions, india is a mini world with different religions

India is a secular state , which means that there is no one 'State' religion , but any religion may be practised here .
As you might know , India is the birthplace of 2 major Asian religions , namely , Hinduism & Buddhism , as also of Jainism & Sikhism . All these peacefully co-exist here with Islam & Christianity ( in its various forms ) , as well as Zoroastrianism , Judaism etc . ( Did you know that Asia's oldest Synagogue is in Kochi , in Kerala , which is a South-Indian State ?)

India is not known by its religion but by its diversity.
religions only make people fight with one-another
dont talk to a person by his religion, but by his attitude and his behaviour
religions only divide, not unites
stop thinking about religions dear
