India
is a mindboggling wealth of sights, smells and
sounds. With almost two thirds of the Himalayas
in India, 6000 kilometres of coastlines, tropical
forests, cold and hot deserts it is a geographers
dream. With 150 languages and 2000 dialects and
the birthplace of 4 major religions and 1.2 billion
people everything is in a scale quite incomparable
and like an anthropological museum. As Mark Twain
american author spoke eloquently about India:
"India is the cradle of the human race, the
birthplace of human speech, the mother of history,
the grandmother of legend, and the great grandmother
of tradition. Our most valuable and most instructive
materials in the history of man are treasured
up in India only."
The Rough guide had this
to say
Nowhere on Earth does humanity present itself
in such a dizzying, creative burst of cultures
and religions, races and tongues. Enriched by
successive waves of migration and marauders from
distant lands, every one of them left an indelible
imprint which was absorbed into the Indian way
of life.
India is today not only known as the cradle of
an ancient civilisation but a young democracy
presently emerging as a vibrant democracy with
a booming economy. Come and discover this magic..............
