The term 'India' is derived from 'Sindhu', a word in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100629164943/http://www.indiavideo.org/text/sanskrit-classical-language-of-india-520.php">Sanskrit</a>, to mean either a river or the river <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100629164943/http://www.indiavideo.org/text/indus-498.php">Indus</a>. The 'S' in 'Sindhu' is a phonetic 'h' in certain languages. Thus Sindhu was pronounced as '<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100629164943/http://www.indiavideo.org/text/hinduism-345.php">hindu</a>' and this explains 'Hindustan' (the land of the Hindus), another name for India. The term 'India' is found used from 5th century BC, according to some historians, quoting Darius the King, Herodotus, Megasthenes and some others. In certain <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100629164943/http://www.indiavideo.org/text/budhism-unorthodox-in-its-teachings-42.php?pg=2">Buddhis</a>t texts, India is denoted as 'Aryadesh' or 'Aryavarta' (both to mean the land of the Aryas), and also as 'Jambudvipa' to mean one of the seven islands (continents) of the earth. The English term 'India' is borrowed from the Latin equivalent and in French it is Inde. In Japan India for long has been referred to as Tenjiku which means 'heaven'.<br/> <br/> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" align="center"> <tr> <td valign="top"><table width="124"

There is only one god, and there is no hell or heaven. All are equal. Asceticism is not a means to attain salvation. In fact leading a true, household life is a better goal. A key practice for the Sikh is the remembrance of the divine name. A Sikh should balance work, worship and charity and should defend the rights of all creatures.<br/> <br/> <strong>THE AGE OF FOREIGN INVASIONS</strong><br/> India had to face foreign invasions, apart from massive migrations, several times across centuries.

In 1687, they shifted their main trading center from Surat to Bombay, the city that they leased out from the British King in 1668.  (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100629164943/http://www.indiavideo.org/text/british-colonization-335.php">more...</a>)<br/> <br/> <strong>1857 : THE FIRST STRUGGLE FOR INDEPENDENCE</strong><br/> The rule of the British East India Company in India was brought to an end by the armed struggle of 1857, known in India as the First Struggle for Independence. The British historians and the Company called it 'Sepoy Mutiny'.

And in August 1858 Queen Victoria of England issued a declaration dissolving the company and taking over its power. In 1877 she assumed the title of the Empress of India.  (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100629164943/http://www.indiavideo.org/text/british-india-337.php">more...</a>)<br/> <br/> <strong>THE MUSLIM OCCUPATION OF NORTH INDIA</strong><br/> Right from very ancient times, the Muslims from the Arabian Peninsula had trade relations with <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100629164943/http://www.indiavideo.org/text/the-gods-own-country-1060.php">Kerala</a>. But they did not have any colonial or occupation interest. The Persian imperial forces attacked India in the 5th century A.D., but it did not have any visible impact on North India. The North Indian kings resisted all attempts of invasion by foreign forces.  (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100629164943/http://www.indiavideo.org/text/islamic-rulers-invade-india-63.php">more...</a>)<br/> <br/> <strong>THE MUGHAL PERIOD</strong><br/> After the dazzling period of the Gupta Empire and the reign of the Sultanate of Delhi, India saw the emergence of the largest ever empire with the rise of the Mughal rule in the country. The term 'Mughal' is the Persian equivalent of the term 'Mongol". The founder of this new state in India was Zahir-Ud-din Muhammad Babur, (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100629164943/http://www.indiavideo.org/text/mughal-period-69.php">more...</a>) <br/> <br/> <strong>THE MARATHA EMPIRE</strong><br/> The <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100629164943/http://www.indiavideo.org/text/mughal-period-69.php">Mughal</a> empire reached its zenith in its reach during Aurangazeb's reign. The irony was that the collapse of the empire was also during his reign. This fall was due to his cruel and wrong policies against the Hindus. Persecution of the Hindus became a routine business.

It all began slowly as small rills and streams, and in different theatres, both in India and England, and its course was long, sometime lazy, at times vehement and riotous and finally a painful but peaceful resistance to the cruel deeds of suppression, (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100629164943/http://www.indiavideo.org/text/national-movements-india-1494.php">more...</a>)<br/> <br/> <strong>THE GANDHI ERA</strong><br/> The World War I was another crucial occasion which vitiated the atmosphere in India. Though about 1.3 million Indian soldiers and laborers served for the British alliance in various theatres of the war, and the Indian princes sent large amounts of food and money to the battle fields, anti-colonial movements became more vehement in crucial states like <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100629164943/http://www.indiavideo.org/text/punjab-1065.php">Punjab</a> and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100629164943/http://www.indiavideo.org/text/west-bengal-1072.php?pg=129">Bengal</a>.
