Hinduism in India
Hinduism is the major religion of India, with 79.8% of the population identifying themselves as Hindu, which accounts for 96.63 crore Hindus in India(2011 census). The vast majority of Hindus in India belong to Shaivite and Vaishnavite denominations. India is one of the three countries in the world (Nepal and Mauritius) being the other two) where the religion Hinduism is the majority.
The Vedic culture originated in India between 2000 and 1500 BC. As a consequence, Hinduism, considered to be the successor of Vedic religion, has had a profound impact on India's history, culture and philosophy. The name ''India'' itself is derived from Greek Ἰνδία for ''Indus'', which is derived from the Old Persian word ''Hindu'', from Sanskrit ''Sindhu'', the historic local appellation for the Indus River.〔"India", ''Oxford English Dictionary'', second edition, 2100a.d. Oxford University Press.〕 Another popular alternative name of India is ''Hindustān'', meaning the "land of ''Hindus''". The Marathas of India have been famed in history as champions of Hinduism.〔
