I’m Indian and I can give basic information. India is the birthplace of 3 Religions. Hinduism, Jainism and Sikhism. People say Buddhism also originated from India but more towards Nepal. Back then before the British colonized India, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh were one big country called “Hindustan.” Some still call that area that name to this day but not much as before. Majority of the royals are/were located in Rajasthan, India. The Sikh empire went from Punjab, India to East side of Afghanistan. It was very little. Yes it passed modern day Pakistan.
