India has always charmed the world with its colourful diversity, vibrancy, and democracy! Given its multi-dimensional richness, there is no single way to understand it as no country in the world offers such an awesome, creative burst of cultures and religions, races and tongues. A thriving civilization since 2500 BC, it continues to astonish the world with its bulk variety whether it concerns ethnic, cultural, or religious diversity.

Surrounded by the great continental wall of the Himalayas in the North, the Indian peninsula is triangular which defines the Bay of Bengal to the East, the Arabian Sea to the West, and the India Ocean to the South. Today, it is the second largest country in Asia and the seventh burgest and second most populous country on Earth. It comprises as much as one third of Asia and supports one seventh of humanity. An emerging global superpower and an influential nation in South Asia, it has emerged as the Asian tiger which operates the world’s most vibrant democratic republic since its independence from the British rule on 15th August 1947.
