 From the earliest times, people have wondered who created the world, what controls the forces of nature and what is the meaning and purpose of life. The answers to these questions seem to lie in the idea of the supernatural powers or gods. Organized systems of belief in a god or gods are referred to as religions. Many different religions have been developed through the ages, with their own forms of prayer, worship, and sacred scriptures. India is a land of many religions. The majority of Indians are Hindus, with a large minority of Muslims. Besides, there is Sikhism, Christianity, Jainism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism and many other religions. It is not true that different religions have often fought amongst themselves. The contrary is true. The majority of people in India have always been peasants, living side by side. In the early stages of the national movement, both Muslims and Hindus worked for the independence of the country. Different religious communities living together, celebrating their festivals make our culture richer and our people more interesting.  The Bahai community that encompasses all religions is also found in India. The people of this community give up rituals, prejudice and dogmas.
