The two major religions that developed in India and
influenced the society hugely were Hinduism and Buddhism. There are three very
important religious books for Hinduism and the impact of these books were huge
in the Hindu society. The three books were the Vedas, Upanishads and the
Mahabharata. These books immensely helped in the spreading as well as in the
cultural development of this religion. Gautama Buddha was the first to work in
favour of this religion. This was a religion where equality among people formed
the base and hence it became very popular within a short span of time. The
people that were neglected in the Hindu religion quickly started converting
themselves to Buddhism.
