There can be many reasons. However following are the main reasons for sustained diversity in India much before the recorded history:

No concept of religion: Till the arrival of organized religions to the sub-continent, people were either subscribing to philosophies of their liking, or quit it or change it at will. Nature worshiping was also part of the options for urban, rural or forest dwellers; even nomads. This way of life, in general, was itself much diverse and numerous thoughts coexisted well.

The nomenclature ‘Indie’, ‘Hindu’ and ‘Hindustan’ etc. itself were coined from outside.

India has probably been the only surviving civilization where theism, atheism and agnosticism could live together without fear

Arrival of newer ‘religions’ and their sects to the region and their amalgamation were quite natural

The climatic, linguistic, cultural, ethnic and other diversities have also played a major role in shaping up the people
