Indian
Heritage and Culture |
| India is a diverse
country, a fact that is visibly prominent in its
people, culture and climate. From the eternal snows
of the Himalayas to the cultivated peninsula of
far South, from the deserts of the West to the humid
deltas of the East, from the dry heat and cold of
the Central Plateau to the cool forest foothills,
Indian lifestyles clearly glorify its geography.
There was a time when India was known as the land
of snake charmers. Then people started identifying
it as the land having the majestic Taj, the ferocious
Tiger and the great desert of Thar. But with each
turn that the wheel of time took, Indians have proved
to be a lot more... |
