Home to the Indus Valley Civilization and a region of historic trade

routes and vast empires, the Indian subcontinent was identified with

its commercial and cultural wealth for much of its long history. Four

major world religions, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism

originated there, while Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity and

Islam arrived in the first millennium CE and shaped the region's

diverse culture.
