India Tourism Guide - Discover India

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.

India Tourism guide will take your to the most enchanting land of immense grandeur, for centuries India was called a 'Golden Bird' for its wealth, drawing invaders from the west. In India, temples, forts and palaces were weighted with gold. For centuries they came, they saw, they conquered and returned to their lands, richer in a manner they could never have imagined. Wars were fought, heads rolled but India survived. Then came the Mughals in 1526, and perhaps the greatest dynasty of India was established. They ruled for more than three centuries. But by the time the British came to India, the Mughals were mere shadows of their former selves – overridden with corruption, factionalism and sloth.

India Tourism boasts of being the fountainhead of ancient religions like Hinduism and Buddhism that are still followed today. It is the land of a thousand dialects, where the oldest religions of the world coexist. Here lies the grandest monument ever built for love, the alabaster-white Taj Mahal. In today’s changing times, India is the hub of technology, of democracy and compassion. India, or Hindustan, seems to be a nation with no parallel.
