Indian Religions For Kids

India is the birthplace of many of the world’s major religions that include Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Jainism. At the same time, other major religions such as Islam and Christianity also thrive. Islam is the second largest religion in India. In addition to this, there is a presence of the Bahai faith (one of the world’s newest religion). Many years ago in the 18th century many Jews came to live in Bombay (now Mumbai). India was always a diverse nation in terms of culture and religion held intact by both custom and law. This is one of the reasons why India is home to many religions of the world.
The world we live in is a very violent place, therefore teaching kids about various religions of the world will make our children more tolerant towards other faiths and teach them to connect with others. Do not leave children to find out about the various religious practices of the world themselves but teach them while they are still young and promote open mindedness. This book is about teaching children about the various religions that exist in India without going into too much detail.
