Although India is a secular state, meaning it has no state religion, is the birthplace of four major religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism.

Hinduism is the main indian religion, concentrating 90% of the world´s Hindu population. Hinduism is both an Indian religion and dharma, meaning a way of life.
