India has been inhabited for more than 4,500 years. In 1192, Arabs invaded the country, brining with them the Islamic faith. British influence came with trading companies that set up operations in India in the 1600s. British rule over India was established in 1783 and lasted until 1947, when Gandhi's independence movement achieved its goal. Since then, India has been troubled by political instability, religious violence, and tense relations with Pakistan.
