India endured [[Colonial India|colonisation]], eventually being [[British Raj|administered by the United Kingdom]] from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century.

India (as of April 2023) is the [[List of countries by population|most populous]] country with [[Demographics of India|over 1.4 billion people]], and is also the most populous [[democracy]] in the world.

** [[Sovereign state|Sovereign]] – this means an independent nation.
** [[Socialist state|Socialist]] – this implies social and economic equality for all Indian citizens. This guarantees equal opportunity and equal social status. The government attempts to reduce economic inequality by reducing concentration of wealth.
** [[Secular state|Secular]] – practices separation of religion and state. This implies freedom to choose one's religion. The state gives every citizen the right to practice and propagate a religion of his choice, and also right to reject all religions. The state treats all religions as equal and there is no official state religion.
** [[Democracy|Democratic]] – this means the government is democratically elected, and the head of the government (prime minister) is elected by the people.
** [[Republic]] – this means the head of the state (president) is not a hereditary [[monarch]] but indirectly elected by the people.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.indiaquickfacts.com/content/india-government-indian-democracy | title=India Government, Indian Democracy &#124; India Quick Facts |access-date=13 March 2020}}</ref>

The flag of India
The Emblem of India
An enlargeable map of the cities of India

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.
