India My Country
India is a really something special. It is not just a country, but a subcontinent. India is not a country you just see. It's something you smell (believe me !), feel and taste. India is the land of opposites, beauties and extreme. Whatever you want to do it's possible in India. Think of nature: You have the warm, dry and dusty dessert, the cold snow capped Himalayas, the sunny beaches and the green palms in south. If you like temples they are scattered all over the country. In this subcontinent monuments are to be found in almost every village.
The different regions of India all have a distinct charm: Rajastan with its atmosphere of Arabian nights, the north with its mountains peaks and lovely valleys, the Kerala backwaters and the south with the beautiful temples, or the bustling cities of Bombay now officially called Mumbai, New Delhi, the Capital or Calcutta, the capital of West Bengal.
A religious melting pot. Hinduism and Buddhism being born here, India having the biggest population of Muslims, Christianity forming the major population in Nagaland and Sikhism having it's base in Indian.

15 major languages are spoken here and approximately 900 dialects. 20% of the worlds languages are spoken in India !
The Indian population shows big variation. The Rajasthani women with her colourful cloth and heavy jewellery, the thin Nepali looking girl plucking tea in the high and humid mountains of Darjeeling, the small dark humour loving Bengali, the friendly proud Sikh and the blue eyed Kashmirian.


 

  

Kerala My State
