Around 7000 BCE, the first known Neolithic settlements appeared on the subcontinent in Mehrgarh and other sites in western Pakistan.[26] These gradually developed into the Indus Valley Civilisation,[27] the first urban culture in South Asia. Today it is the seventh-largest country by area, the second-most populous country withover 1.2 billion people, and the most populous democracy in the world.

Four world religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism—originated here, whereas Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Christianity, and Islam arrived in the 1st millennium CE and also helped shape the region’s diverse culture. (Wiki)
