Brief History
One of the most culturally and religiously diverse nations on Earth, India achieved its current political configuration in the aftermath of the departure of British rule in 1947. A part of the British Empire throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, India achieved political independence through the efforts of Mahatma Gandhi. Today India is a nation of extremes, with rampant overpopulation and poverty balanced by a vibrant and expanding economy. -
