Know about India

I have come across TV channels like Nat. Geo. bent on showing  the same programmes on India for the past few years like the unfortunate 26/11 terrorist attack in Mumbai, the Taj Mahal hotel in Mumbai or the local trains of Mumbai. I have wondered whether the above mentioned channel has run out of ideas or is it indifferent to our sub continent. Is there nothing more to India than a couple of these topics?


India has made great strides in science and technology. It will be good to see a programme on it. The colourful festivals of India, dances, music, art and architecture ....there are myriad ways of telling an audience about the culture of India.


We know that India is mostly thought of as a poor,dirty and crowded country. Then there is the chaotic traffic which leaves the westerner flabbergasted at first sight. But above all this is the warmth and friendliness of its people. Surely, an ancient civilisation dating back to 4000 BC must have some meaning in it to survive for so long ?


Here are some links on Indian culture.

I hope the above links give you a comprehensive insight into our rich cultural heritage.  I will be constantly trying to provide interesting details of our history.


I feel I have given an exhaustive information to everyone on Indian history.
