Pre-partitioned India was called the subcontinent because of the land it covered. It was spread over now Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Himalayan end of Nepal, Bhutan and Sri Lanka. However, many other aspects added to the diversity of the subcontinent. They are as following:
1:India, during the Mughal Rule occupied much land due to which people of different cast, creed, ethnicity, culture and values lived together on one land. Hence, it added to the diversity of the land.
2:People belonging to different cultural backgrounds entered or invaded the subcontinent which added to the diverse culture and norms of the country. Greeks and Persians were prominent immigrants/invaders.
3:British Raj(Rule) in India, promoted many British ways of living. It brought English lifestyle as well as industrialism in India. Their way of dress-up and daily lives was adopted by the local Indians.
4:The subcontinent had people of different religions living together. They were predominantly Hindus; but Muslims, Sikhs, Buddhists and Christians(by Portuguese and British invasion) also lived in the country. They all lived their lives according to their religious values, which were significant from one another.
