India Gate Thar Desert Omkareshwar Shopping in Delhi Kanyakumari
India Attraction
For
millions of people across the globe, India lies shrouded in a veil of
secrecy. For the uninitiated, the most common fallacies are those of India
being the land of mystical saints, emaciated street children, mendicant
fakirs, heat and dust, and of a democracy gone haywire. India is all
that. But it is a lot, lot more. For us, India is a belief in which are
ingrained memories of a six-millennia past, and a depth which one can
hardly envisage.
It is a nation that spans an area of 3.2 million kilometres and whose
written records date back 5,000 years. It is a land where the epic battle
of the Mahabharata, the greatest of all wars, was fought; where the
exalted Vedas were composed; where the word `Aryan’ was conceived. It
is also the land which bore the brunt of invasions from the West, for they
came to us, not the other way round.
