The
ancient Vedic religion which is now known as Hinduism or Hindu religion
has been the dominant religion in India ever since the prehistoric days.
Subsequently several other religions with their roots in this Vedic-
Upanishad philosophy were born in India. Subsequently, Christianity,
Islam, Zorosterism and Judaism arrived in India . Openness of Hinduism
towards other religions and the ability to amalgamate foreign religions
and cultures have resulted in a country where all the major religions of
the world can coexist and flourish side by side. At present nearly 200
million Muslims and approximately 20 million Christians live in
India.
