The existence of a variety of cultures, linguistic multitude, numerous ethnic groups, so many religions or religious wings, communities etc. are the basic characteristics of India as a nation. All these groups and communities carry their own exclusive and unique identity and their co-existence makes India truly incredible in several ways. India has her heart and soul in the religio-cultural diversity and the same has been a feature of India's identity in past, present and will continue to be in future. India has been the land for every religion in the world and no religion of the world is alien to India. The great figures of religion from India have been known to the world and India has also accepted the two global religions Christianity and Islam, emerged one after another, in recent past with open arms. The practice of both for around 2000 years has made both the religions integral part of India's religio-cultural traditions. In fact, India is the only country in the world that may be called the home to all four major religions together. The people of India also consist of followers of other religions including Sikh, Jain, and Jew. The religious tolerance and values have had and will continue to have immense influence in the Indian culturally pluralistic and religiously diverse society.
