About India |
|
| |
|
|
|
The
subcontinent of India lies in south Asia, between Pakistan, China
and Nepal. To the north it is bordered by the world's highest
mountain chain, where foothill valleys cover the northernmost of the
country's 26 states. Further south, plateaus, tropical rain forests
and sandy deserts are bordered by palm fringed beaches .

|
Side by side with the country's staggering topographical variations
is its cultural diversity, the result of the coexistence of a number
of religions as well as local tradition. Thus, the towering temples
of south India, easily identifiable by their ornately sculptured
surface, are associated with a great many crafts and performing arts
of the region. |

In
the desert of Kutch, Gujarat, on the other hand, a scattering of
villages pit themselves against the awesome forces of nature,
resulting in Spartan lifestyles made vibrant by a profusion of
jewelry and ornamental embroidery used to adorn apparel and
household linen. In the extreme north is the high altitude
desert of Ladakh. Local culture is visibly shaped by the faith -
Buddhism -as well as by the harsh terrain. |

Yet another facet of
Indian culture is observed in the colorful tribal lifestyles of the
north eastern states of Nagaland, Mizoram, Tripura and Manipur with
their folk culture.
In the central Indian
states of Orissa and Madhya Pradesh tribal village life has resulted
in a variety of artistically executed handicrafts.
India's mountains
provide heli skiing, river running, mountaineering and trekking. Its
beaches provide lazy sun-bathing as well as wind surfing and
snorkeling, and its jungles provide shooting wildlife -with a
camera.
India's history
goes back to 3,200 BC when Hinduism was first founded. Buddhism,
Jainism, Sikhism. Judaism. Zoroashtrianism, Christianity and Islam
all exist within the country today. As a consequence of India's
size, the history of the country has seldom been the same for two
adjoining territories, and its great natural wealth has lured a
succession of traders and foreign influences to it, each having left
their imprint in the country, however faint or localized. Thus,
Chinese fishing nets in Kerala are a throwback to that country's
ancient maritime trade, while in the north, terra-cotta figurines of
the centuries BC bear distinctly Greek traces.

Modern India is home alike to the tribal with his anachronistic
lifestyle and to the sophisticated urban jetsetter. It is a land
where temple elephants exist amicably with the microchip. Its
ancient monuments are the backdrop for the world's largest
democracy where atomic energy is generated and industrial
development has brought the country within the world's top ten
nations. Today, fishermen along the country's coastline fashion
simple fishing boats in a centuries old tradition while, a few
miles away. motor vehicles glide off conveyor belts in
state-of-the-art factories |
