Agama Dharmik

Agama Dharmik atau Agama-agama India adalah agama-agama yang berasal dari anak benua India; yakni Hinduisme, Jainisme, Buddhisme, dan Sikhisme yang mengikuti aturan Dharma. Zoroastrianisme meskipun tidak berasal dari anak benua India, juga kadangkala dianggap sebagai suatu agama Dharmik. Agama-agama ini semuanya juga diklasifikasikan sebagai agama-agama Timur. Meskipun agama-agama India terhubung melalui sejarah India, mereka membentuk berbagai komunitas keagamaan, dan tidak terbatas pada anak benua India.

Bukti yang membuktikan agama prasejarah di anak benua India berasal dari lukisan batu Mesolitikum yang tersebar. Orang-orang Harappa dari Peradaban Lembah Indus, yang berlangsung dari tahun 3300 sampai 1300 SM (periode dewasa, 2600-1900 SM), memiliki budaya urban awal yang mendahului agama Veda.

Sejarah yang tercatat mengenai agama-agama India diawali dengan agama Veda, praktik keagamaan dari awal Indo-Iran, yang dikumpulkan dan kemudian disusun ke dalam Veda.
