Answer 3

Politics:
Worst of it's kind in the world
Even dictator ruled countries are better, because after pocketing all the wealth of their country, they think very little for the men.
But in India, no one thinks about any one other than their own men.
Corruption at peak.
Ministers are charged with RAPE, MURDER, KIDNAPPING, EXTORTION FOR MONEY, HARBOURING TERRORISTS, FOR VOTE GAINS, GUN TOTTERING, ORGANISING RIOTS BETWEEN COMMUNITIES,

Such a country is India, where you will be forced to commit suicide if you are a farmer. Money lenders and pawn brokers run the country(Finance Minister). We need a dictator like person to run India and not the cheats.

It is otherwise very beautiful. People are simple and kind hearted. They fear God and donot do any crime. They respect elders and are caring about them. They are not extra modern or westernised. The average Indian is normally happy with whatever he possesses. The Urbans are also good but not as good as the Rural folks. The Urbans are following the footprint of the West, particularly USA

Answer 4

as far as the administration is concerned the country need to be more focused on sustainable development, efficiency at work place, check equality amoung its citizen, development of infrastructure, education systems, health care, tapping the human resources to its full potential, population controll etc are top priorities.

thus the administrative system is not efficient to an appreciable extent.

As far as the nature / wildlife is concerned lot of places are worth visiting, and different climatic conditions can be expereinced.

indian culture is also one of the oldest cultures. but what we see now is an awakeward mix of the bad elements of indian and western culture.

Answer 10

India, officially the The Republic of India (Hindi: भारत), is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by geographical area, the second most populous country, and the largest liberal democracy in the world. India has a coastline of over seven thousand kilometres,[1] and borders Pakistan[2] to the west, Nepal, the People's Republic of China and Bhutan to the north-east, and Bangladesh and Myanmar to the east. In the Indian Ocean, it is adjacent to the island nations of Sri Lanka, Maldives and Indonesia.
The people of India have had a continuous civilization and culture since 3300 B.C., when the inhabitants of the Indus River valley developed an urban culture based on commerce and sustained by agricultural trade.[3] Over the millenia, the subcontinent became a centre of important trade routes, cultural development and vast empires. Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism and Jainism all have their origins in India, while Islam and Christianity enjoy a strong cultural heritage having arrived through trade even before foreign invasions. Despite countless invasions over the past 4000 years, Indian culture and society has been so resilient, that it has either thrown away or completely absorbed any foreign influences, with the social fabric largely remaining unchanged and intact. With the decline of the Mughal Empire, various European countries tried to establish trade posts, most prominently the British, who ultimately colonialised the subcontinent. With the diverse subcontinental populace united in one entity, there was a realization of the vast empires of the past. Thus, an intense movement for social reforms and self-rule commenced to restrict the British from garnering any gains, and instead forge the subcontinental entity into a nation. As a result, India emerged as a nation-state in 1947. Modern India's population, wildlife, geographical terrain and climate system are among the most diverse in the world.

Geography
The territory of India constitutes a major portion of the Indian subcontinent, situated on the Indian Plate, the northerly portion of the Indo-Australian Plate, in southern Asia. India's northern and northeastern states are partially situated in the Himalayan Mountain Range. The rest of northern, central and eastern India consists of the fertile Indo-Gangetic plain. In the west, bordering southeast Pakistan, lies the Thar Desert. The southern Indian Peninsula is almost entirely composed of the Deccan plateau, which is flanked by two hilly coastal ranges, the Western Ghats and Eastern Ghats.
India is home to several major rivers, including the Ganga, Brahmaputra, Yamuna, Godavari, Kaveri, Narmada, and Krishna. India has three archipelagos – Lakshadweep off the southwest coast, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands-volcanic island chain to the southeast, and the Sunderbans in the Gangetic delta in West Bengal.
Climate in India varies from tropical in the south to more temperate in the Himalayan north, with elevated regions in the north receiving sustained snowfall in winters. India's climate is strongly influenced by the Himalayas and the Thar Desert. The Himalayas, along with the Hindu Kush mountains in Pakistan, provide a barrier to the cold winds from Central Asia. This keeps most of the Indian subcontinent warmer than most locations in similar latitudes. The Thar Desert is responsible for attracting the moisture laden southwest monsoon winds that provide most of India's rainfall between June and September.

Culture
India has a rich and unique cultural heritage, and has managed to preserve its established traditions whilst absorbing customs, traditions and ideas from both invaders and immigrants. Many cultural practices, languages, customs and monuments are examples of this co-mingling over centuries. Famous monuments, such as the Taj Mahal and other examples of Islamic-inspired architecture have been inherited from the Mughal dynasty. These are the result of a syncretic tradition that combined elements from all parts of the country.
Indian music is represented in a wide variety of forms. The two main forms of classical music are Carnatic from South India, and Hindustani from North India, each of which has several popular sub classes. Popular forms of music also prevail, the most notable being Filmi music. In addition to this are the diverse traditions of folk music from different parts of the country. Many classical dance forms exist, including the Bharatanatyam, Kathakali, Kathak, Kuchipudi, and Manipuri. They often have a narrative form and are usually infused with devotional and spiritual elements.
The earliest literary traditions in India were oral ones that were later transcribed. Most of these are represented by sacred works like the Vedas and the epics of the Mahabharata and Ramayana. Sangam literature from Tamil Nadu represents some of India's oldest traditions. There have been many notable modern Indian writers, both in Indian languages and in English. Millions of ancient handwritten manuscripts have been identified and classified. India's only Nobel laureate in literature was the Bengali writer Rabindranath Tagore. India is the third largest newspaper market in Asia with an estimated circulation of at least 66 million copies daily in 2003.
The nation also produces the world's second largest number of motion pictures every year. The most recognisable face is that of cinema production based in Mumbai, which produces mainly commercial Hindi films, often referred to as "Bollywood". There are also strong cinema industries based on the Bengali, Malayalam, Kannada, Tamil and Telugu languages.
Religious practices of various faiths are an integral part of everyday life in society. Religion in India is a public affair, with many practices imbued with pomp and vitality accompanying their underlying spiritual qualities. Education is highly regarded by members of every socio-economic stratum. Traditional Indian family values are considered sacred, although urban families have grown to prefer a nuclear family system, owing to the socio-economic constraints imposed by the traditional joint family system.
The cuisine of India is diverse, as ingredients, spices and cooking methods vary from region to region. Rice and wheat are the staple foods in the country. The country is notable for its wide variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian cuisine. Spicy food and sweets are popular in India. Traditional dress in India greatly varies across the regions in its colours and styles, and depend on various factors, including climate. Popular styles of dress include the traditional sari for women and the traditional dhoti for men.
India's national sport is field hockey, although cricket is now the de facto national game. In some states, particularly in the northeast, football (soccer) is the most popular sport and is widely watched. In recent times, tennis has gained popularity in India. Chess is also gaining popularity with the rise of the number of recognised grandmasters, such as Viswanathan Anand. Chess is commonly believed to have originated in India. Traditional indigenous sports include kabaddi[14], Kho Kho and gilli-danda, which are played in most parts of the country.
A melting pot of many religions, India has a rich diversity of festivals, many of which are celebrated irrespective of caste and creed. The most widely known and popular celebrations include the Hindu festivals of Diwali, Holi, Pongal and Dussehra and the Muslim celebration of Eid. A number of festivals are common to most parts of India; however, they may be called by different names in the various parts of the country or may be celebrated in a different fashion and style.
