Short guide to India

From early times, this mystical ancient land has been the subject of interest from various world powers. It is a land that has numerous landscapes on its territory, from the majestic Himalayan mountains in the North to sunbathed beaches in the South; India is truly a land of extremes. With a rich history of various rules by varying civilisations, India is scattered with ancient relics testifying to this time in history.

India is the birthplace of the religion that the majority of the citizens follow, namely Hinduism. This arose from the Indus Valley almost 5000 years ago. Another major religion to also come out of this region is Buddhism. India has witnessed the likes of Alexander the great, the Pharaoh's and Caesar vying for power over this land.

Islam took hold of India in medieval times, and the era of the sultans was ushered in. This was known as the Moghul period, and the Emperor's of this period ruled for several centuries. Eventually, however, the empire soon began to deteriorate, and the rise of the Western powers, particularly after the Industrial Revolution, led to the shift of power in the world-changing from east to west.

The British Empire soon captured India and ruled it for numerous years until Indian independence, which was granted in 1947. With this new development, India became the largest democracy in the world.

As far as the land of India today is concerned, particularly from a visitor's viewpoint, there are lots to do and see. The Himalayas to the North is a very popular attraction. There are also numerous crowded and bustling cities where one can enjoy just sitting and enjoying the chaos.

Watch in wonderment as cars swing by each other barely missing one another, vying for the attention of the road alongside the cows and buffalos. If you are coming from the west be prepared for a huge culture shock!

One of the most famous monuments in the whole of India, well the whole world for that matter, is the majestic Taj Mahal. This is a magnificent marble tomb built by one of the Moghul emperors to hold the body of his beloved wife for generations to come and see.

It is classified as one of the world's wonders and is an iconic image: a gigantic, beautiful symmetrical structure. This marble building is adorned with priceless jewellery and intricately carved calligraphy. It is a definite must-see for anybody who is visiting that region of India.

India is a fairly safe country to visit for western tourists. However, like everywhere else in the world, the government has asked people to be vigilant and look out for any suspicious behaviour. It is wise whilst there to be cautious from eating food from shabby eating establishments and try to drink only bottled water.
