Change has been constant in India over the millennia, but some things have remained the same throughout that time. Early India was a collection of smaller kingdoms across its vast landscape. The effects of Hinduism began then and were deep and lasting, continuing to the present day. The impact of Islam had a large effect on India, overshadowed only by the long colonization by Great Britain. All these events, touching the lives of the great and the small alike, created a rich, varied, and active culture that is today one of the world’s largest. Take a journey through the amazing history of one of the most ancient and important places in the world.
