Abstract: Indian society is a product of long and complex historical process. The seven major events contributed to the formation of this process are Aryan `advent', the emergence of Indian Protestant religions -- Jainism, Buddhism, and Sikhism, the entry of non-Indic religions into the sub-continent as immigrant religions, the Muslim `conquests', western colonialism, anti-colonial freedom struggle and the partition of the Indian sub-continent in 1947 on the eve of the British exit
