Descripción:
Located in Southern Asia and centered in the Indus River valley, the civilization of India was at one time invaded by the Aryans and controlled by various conquerors, such as the Mongols. Hinduism, the country's largest religion, has no exact starting date, and was begun with Sruti, "that which was heard". Hinduism was originally known as Santana Dharma, meaning "righteousness forever". The Hindus' beliefs include reincarnation, the law of Karma, the caste system, and various gods, mainly Brahman, the "supreme spirit" composed of pure being and consciousness.
