Medieval History
During the Mauryan period, Hinduism found its roots and spread to the other parts of the country. Islam was introduced in the eighth century, and by the eleventh century was firmly grounded as a political force. All the North Indian dynasties like Lodhis, Tughlaqs, and numerous others, whose remains are visible in Delhi and scattered elsewhere around North India, were finally taken over by the Mughals, who established political unity in the country.
Modern History
The seventeenth century marks the beginning of the British rule in the country where in the latter part of this century the Mughal empire began to disintegrate, laying the way for regional states. The British conquests at the battlefields of Plassey and Buxar marked their supremacy over the Mughals. The Rebellion of 1857-58, which tried to restore the Indian supremacy, was crushed; and later with the crowning of Victoria as Queen of India, the inclusion of India into the British empire was complete. By the early part of the twentieth century, a nationalist movement began and by 1919-20, Mohandas Karamchand ('Mahatma') Gandhi had came out as the undisputed leader of this movement. The freedom movement gained momentum and finally drove the British out of India in 1947 but only at the cost of the division of the nation into two nations namely India and Pakistan.
