Five thousand years of Indian civilization has been built through the confluence of many influences. Christianity and Islam arrived in India and coexisted alongside other religions, promoting peace and harmony. After the Mughals arrived in India, architecture under Akbar’s guidance represented an aesthetic synthesis between Hindu and Islamic features, reflecting the monarch’s personality and paving the way for composite cultures of wider dimensions. The colonial rule and the freedom struggle of India represented unity of all cultures and religions working together for the common good.
