India (Also known as Bharat, named after the emperor Bharat) is a country in South Asia. It is a land of diverse cultures. Geographically it is the seventh largest country and it is the second most populous country, only next to China. It is also the world's largest democracy.
India got independence in 1947, August 15th from the colonial British rule. India has given birth to many scholars. As a computer lover, I am proud to say that the basis of computer, The Binary Numbers are given to the world by India.
India is mixed with various languages, various religions, various cultures, various food, various dresses. Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism and Jainism all have their origins in India, while Islam, Judaism and Christianity enjoy a strong cultural heritage having arrived through trade even before foreign invasions, and having reached the subcontinent before European occupation of the region.
The country's population, wildlife, geographical terrain and climate system are among the most diverse in the world. India has a coastline of over seven thousand kilometers and no doubt it has many beautiful beaches to enjoy the dancing waters of Indian Ocean.
India is a land of saints. Many saints are born here. And no doubt it has many heritage temples with breathtaking architecture. India is no doubt a hot destination for the world tourists.
I being an Indian, love India. And I will bring to you on this blog, the beauty of India, its people and its culture.
Proud to be an Indian!!!
