INDIA- An example of Unity in Diversity




India is quite a religious county. If you are planning to visit India Today or Tomorrow, you need to know few things about this diverse culture you are about to visit.
India is the second most populous country in the world with more than 30 majorly different varieties of culture and cuisines.

You might think it would be difficult to have a conversation in India. Here is the GOOD NEWS.  It’s not as difficult as in China, as most Indians can speak/ understand most of the English words and can surely guide the way through.  There are more than 22 official languages spoken in India (apart the local languages) and the national language is Hindi and second most common language is English (which almost everyone speaks/understand)

You can find peoples belonging to all different religion. It’s pretty difficult to find a country following different religions an yet living peacefully.

Morning  starts with Muslim’s prayer (Azan) and evening ends with the temple bells.  I have been to many countries. And so far I find India been more diverse. Christians, Muslims, Sikh, Jewish would be seen celebrating Diwali (A Hindu festival of lights and fire crackers and lots of sweets), Holi (A Hindu festival of colors, happiness and party) . Hindus, Jewish, and more hugging each other and celebrating Eid  (A Muslim festival of lights, prayers and sweets) And on top You must see how they celebrate Christmas in India. Like how cool is it !!!  


You know what the best part is? Government Holidays for every festival.  I know, I might sound crazy but really who don’t crave for holidays? And I guess that’s the reason, you will find more peoples celebrating all festivals in India.

India is a secular country and all religions enjoys the equal rights of being an Indian.  Also, India is a home of more than a lakh of refugees from neighboring countries like Tibet, Iran, Pakistan, Bangladesh,Nepal and many more.  And it keep on increasing (Source:Wikipedia)

I find quite amazing that all these peoples stay together without much problems.  Hats off to the President and Prime Minister of such a country. They sure have a lot to look after.

Hope you had fun reading! Have a Happy Day ! :) Love you guys

Ganges river- the untold facts

The Ganges is certainly the holy river for all Hindus. But Ganga is not only holy but there are reasons behind why it is so important to all civilization. I went to Northern India for a tour and I brought back some Ganga water with me in a normal plastic can I bought it from a local store.  Although there is a lot of pollution on the river side so you need to ask some one to get it from deep inside. Normally, any water that stays for too long tends to produce some bacteria or goes stale. But, it was surprising that even after 1.5 yrs it’s the same and drinkable. So It lifted up my curiosity and I went back to do some research on it.
