Well that's a tough one. And that's simply because the history is way too vast. If I go into details I would probably be typing it all night. So in short, I think some of the most important incidences in our country's history were (and I'm not talking about ancient civilizations or history): the establishment of the Delhi Sultanate in around 13th century. They were not the first Muslim rulers in India but they were definitely the longest and most influential (India was predominantly a Hindu country). Europeans started arriving in India sometime in the 16th Century. The Portuguese were the first people to establish a proper base here. After Aurangzeb, the last great Mughal ruler of the Sultanate, died a British trading company called East India company started seizing control of Indian territories. The control was officially handed over to the British Monarchy in mid 1850s and India became a colony of England till our independence in 1947 (the whope revolt and struggle for independence is a rather interesting read...  I think you may have heard some names likes Gandhi and Bose... But I won't go into that right now). So in 1947 another major event took place - the partition of India into two countries, India and Pakistan. Its effects are still very apparent to people of both countries.

Our country was pretty advanced for its times during the ancient days. From what archeologists have found, we had made a lot of advances in the fields of science, medicine, mathematics and astrology. But due to the constant raids on the country most of it was lost.

This is probably as short as I could keep it :P How about Turkey? How has your history been?
