ABOUT INDIA.
The land of dreams and romance, of fabulous wealth and fabulous poverty, of palaces and hovels, of tigers and elephants, the cobra and the jungle, the country of hundred nations and a hundred tongues, of a thousand religions and two million gods, birthplace of human speech, mother of history, grandmother of legend, great-grandmother of traditions, wise and fool, rich and poor, the one land that all men desire to see, and having seen once, by even a glimpse, would not give that glimpse for the shows of all the rest of the world combined. This is indeed India!

DRAWBACKS
Natural resource is still in the hands of some powerful political and economic goons. This has widen the gap not only between the castes and groups but also amongst the economic blocks and regions. Ethical and moral values have been replaced by money-values leading corruption on one side. Transformation of Indian society having democratic values in operation may be accelerated by the academics and officers of repute.

India has left indelible imprints on one fourth of the human race in the course of a long succession of centuries. INDIA has the right to reclaim her place amongst the great nations summarizing and symbolizing the spirit of humanity. From Persia to the Chinese sea, from the icy regions of Siberia to Islands of Java and Borneo, India has propagated her beliefs, her tales, and her civilization!
