The general geographical area of what now is India was occupied by nearly 500 kingdoms with kings and monarchs ruling them. Most often the kings were warring among themselves. The British invasion unified the land into one big country.

∙ 17y agoBefore European Rule India was ruled by Mislims from last 800 years. That is somewhat true but not a comprehensive answer. India was not seen as one country till it actually got independence from England in 1947. It consisted of many small and large kingdoms. Indian subcontinent has always attracted immigrants from various parts of the world, some of whom came here to trade, some invaded the country, some fled from their own country for security and then settled down in India. Muslim rulers came from middle Asia, afaganistan etc. and eventually established control over North India. There were continuous wars between hundreds of different kingdoms present in India. French, dutch, Portugese and Britishers were the European powers to rule India. By 1818, Briton had control of most of India, barring southern India. French, dutch and Portugese also continued to rule some parts. During Independence struggle, idea of India( including current Pakistan and Bangaladesh) as one country started to emerge. After getting Independece in 1947, India was partitioned into two countries, India and Pakistan. The last rulers to leave India were Portugese who continued to rule Goa and surrounding area till 1961.

∙ 12y agoBefore the advent of Islam India was dominated by three major religions i.e Buddhism,jainism and Hinduism.the three religions of India lacked uniformity and suffered due to great deal and differences amongst them.Hinduism was the dominant and main religion of the people and most of the kings of this period were also hindus.both Buddhism and jainism were on the decline .one reason for this was that the rajas which dominated India during this period did not believe in the philosophy of non-violence which these religions preached.still there was perfect religious freedom.no ruler discriminated against any religion and provided every facility to propagade all religions without fear or hindrance.there were ,therfore,no communal clashes.the individual Hindu was free to decide for himself what kind of god he would worship.to many hindus there were many gods,each with different responsibilties.the principal gods were brahma-the creator,vishnu-the preserver and shiva-the destroyer
To attract masses to their own religion,the brahmins began to worship as gods their national heroes like rama and Krishna and gave place to gautam buddha as a god among their own gods.the result was that the innocent people began to worship the national heroes as gods.the brahmans gave great prominence to rituals and ceremonies in religious life.and since most of these rites and ceremonies could be performed by the brahmans alone,they occupied a very powerful position in the society
