About INDIA



It is impossible not to be astonished by India. Nowhere on Earth does humanity present itself in such a dizzying, creative burst of cultures and religions, races and tongues.

India, officially the Republic of India is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by geographical area, the second-most populous country, and the most populous democracy in the world.India is very rich in languages. There are uncountable number of languages and dialects being spoken in India. A minimum of 30 different languages have been identified along with 2000 dialects. Today, due to rapid industrialization and a bustling influence of multinationals in the economy, English has become the most common language, after Hindi, being spoken in the country.

There are four main religions of India.Hindu,Muslims,Sikh and Christianity.but other than this the rest of india is also divided in many other religion,caste and sud-caste.

I myself sometimes get amazed about India.it has so many shades and colors.there are total 28 states and seven union territories in INDIA.you will be amazed to know that every state has its own different language,culture, beliefs and special food which makes it real interesting.

In my upcoming blogs,i will discuss in detail about Indian culture,traditions,food,education,movies,sports and festivals.i hope you will enjoy reading my post as much as i am enjoying writing about it.
