Hitman42 [59]3 years ago

The predominant religion in India before Islam began to expand there was Hinduism. India is often described as having a diversity of religious believes and many different religious practices. The fact is that India has no state religion because they are a secular state, and freedom of religion is a constitutional right. That is an important factor for India to have such a diversified number of religions.

The Indian subcontinent which is composed of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh is considered to has been the birthplace for Hinduism, Buddhism,  Sikhism and Jainism which are four of the world´s  major religions. Thanks to the constitutional freedom of religion in India we can see the practice of Christianity, Zoroastrianism, Judaism among others.

A census conducted in 2011 showed that 78.9% of India´s population practices Hinduism, while 14% approximately practices Islam. Today, there are more than 500 million Muslims in the Indian subcontinent. It was very natural for Arabs to begin bringing their Islam to India when they started exploring the continent looking for spices and other products. The expansion of these commercial activities put India in direct contact with the new religions.

What was Booker T. Washington vision for Georgia?
Tamiku [17]

s the United States entered the 20th century, African Americans faced a new and challenging landscape. A mere thirty-five years after the abolition of slavery, the majority of African Americans had learned to read and hundreds were heading to colleges and universities to continue their studies. The 1900 Paris Exposition created by W.E.B. DuBois showcased the gains that African Americans had made since emancipation.

However, many of the freedoms gained during the era of reconstruction were beginning to disappear. It became more and more difficult for African Americans to vote; the Plessy v. Ferguson ruling made segregation the law of the land; and groups such as the Ku Klux Klan and the Knights of the White Camelia tried to reverse the successes of African Americans, sometimes using violence and lynching to strike fear in the African American community.

Many contributed to the debates on how best to secure and advance the rights of African Americans, but one of the major contributors was the educator Booker T. Washington. Washington, the leader of Tuskegee Institute, stated his views in a speech at the Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta, Georgia, in September 1895.
