The following outline is provided as an overview of, and topical guide to, India :

The seventh-largest country by area, India is located on the Indian subcontinent in South Asia. India was home to the ancient Indus Valley civilisation, and is the birthplace of four world religions: Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, Jainism. India endured colonisation, eventually being administered by the United Kingdom from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century. India became an independent nation in 1947 after a struggle for independence led by influential figures like Mahatma Gandhi, Subash Chandra Bose and underwent a violent partition. India (as of April 2023) is the most populous country with over 1.4 billion people, and is also the most populous democracy in the world.

Barack Obama addressing the Indian Parliament
  • Form of government: Sovereign socialist secular federal parliamentary multi-party representative democratic republic.

The state treats all religions as equal and there is no official state religion.
    • Democratic – this means the government is democratically elected, and the head of the government (prime minister) is elected by the people.
