Answer to Question 1

Hinduism (an ethnic religion) has long dominated India. In later years, many people in the northwest and northeast parts of the region embraced Islam. Buddhism originated in India, but did not take root in the long term there, but did build a strong following in Sri Lanka, as well as in the mountainous countries of Bhutan and Nepal. India existed as a single country until the end of British colonialism in 1947. At that time, the dominant Muslim populations in the northeast and northwest regions decided that they did not want to live in a country dominated by Hindus. As a result, the country was divided into two. India covered most of the subcontinent, while Pakistan had two non-contiguous parts.
