//History//
== India was earlier one British Colony. That is why they speak English so much and has it as an official language. In 1946, when the British workerparty Labour came to the power, they decided that they wouldn't have India as a colony any more, and in 1947 was India one independen country. But the hate between hindu and muslim was big, and that was a problem until the State of Pakistan was made for muslims. This was done to avoid civil wars between hindus and muslims. ==
