Ancient India, it's philosophy and religion ?
The world recognizes India as the Hindu nation, but India won't fit in that small term. It has a great history of civilization. From times of immemorial to what world famously quotes as the oldest civilization of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro. It has a very distinctive culture in every nook and corner of the country. There were some coincidental practices between different ethnic people in India but everything is so distinctive.
When we talk about India we must know the fact that we are not talking about current day India, it was a region living east side of the river Indus. When civilization flourished like anything in the world, Indian Rishis or saints worked their lifetime to achieve the ultimate bliss, found reasons for happiness and sorrow. They found the reason for the misery of people what causing it, they gave myriad solutions to the problems of humanity. They wrote greatest philosophies on earth which still prevailing, they said about the cosmos, the birth of earth, etc., in their philosophies. Some of the greatest and oldest epics viz, Ramayan, Mahabharat, Upanishads, Vedas etc.
Precisely how humans react, what makes a man human by eradicating beast in him with lucid explanations the Indian munis or saints understood. Which led them to write such elegant novels.
What is the religion in India?
In India, no one follows any particular god or scripture, in fact, no reference for entire Hindu religion or followers of what so-called Hindu religion. Some of the groups recently evolved are trying to put all the Indus people in a single religion called Hinduism. India, as defined above collection of thousands of years old civilization, culture, people and, they must have seen everything on earth whatever they could, there were particular Gods for each region and sect, that other part of the region ever knew. It was evolved from the time immemorial when there were no notes taking mechanism, knowledge transmitted through shruthi's (By vocal). Because there was nobody like present world know as Prophet who came to teach as a religion or particular group. There were preachers and munis who found human mind was the most powerful tool to access the entire universe. By practicing meditations for years and rigorous habits to improve mind's capabilities, which eventually transformed them to understand the universe better than what a common man can do.
There were and are hundreds and thousands of religions and gods, theists, atheists and agnostics in India. They did not simply come to prominence but by profound knowledge and rationality. You never see so much tolerance in the world as Indians have, because of its history is so strong that nobody has ever restricted from anybody commenting on any god and their culture, they were ever growing with dissent and rationality. Here every house has a unique style of practicing a religion. As a whole India is a very complex system, nobody has defined and can define it as a single religion or unit, Constitution which is comprising entire India as one unit. Indian philosophy and culture flourish for another thousand of years as its roots were so deep and years of evolution.
As the year's pass, humans become lazier and can have everything whatever they want, but they definitely lack bliss in their lives. Nobody can take away their sorrow so easily, only religion and god can make it happen the as the human brain needs enormous stimulus and feelings, nobody exception to that.
Live, protect and understand the Indians and their philosophy it was rare on earth that so distinctive culture and people to find again.
