Answer 1

I have never been but I hear from reliable sources that it stinks really bad and everybody talks funny.

Answer 2

i am in India. I am an Indian. This is a country of traditions and cultures. Despite large leaps in technological advancements, an average Indian has not forsaken his culture. This is a land of that taught the world peaceful coexistence. Here despite many communal riots, all religions are treated with equal respect.

From the Northern end of Kashmir to the southern end of Cape Comorin (Kanya Kumari), the culture, the language, the cuisine etc is entirely different but still there is a common thing that binds us together, the fact that we are Indians. A north Indian may not understand what a South Indian speaks and vice versa but essentially they are one --Indians.

India has a rich cultural heritage that dates back to the stone age. India is a favourite tourist spot these days for its cultural and natural heritage.
Indian cuisine i think is one of the spiciest cuisine in the world.Here sweets are very sweet. sour food really sour. Even the Chinese food available here are spicier than any where else.

Indians are really very friendly kind of people.As goes the saying in India,"Athithi devo Bhava" meaning guests are next to none but God.

Visit India at least ones in life, despite all its odds its still a wonderful land.

Answer 3

Never been there, but I talk to people from India all the time when I am trying to fix my Dell computer. Personally, I can't understand a word they say and I don't like that country just because they are taking American jobs. Oh, you can also ask all of the people from India who are running your local convenience store. They may be of some help.

India is one of the popular tourist destinations in Asia. Bounded by the Himalayan ranges in the north, and surrounded on three sides by water (the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, and the Indian Ocean), with a long history and diverse culture, India offers a wide array of places to see and things to do. In 2004, foreign tourists visiting India spent 15.4 billion USD - the ninth highest in the world. India is also ranked among the top 3 adventure tourism destinations. One can expect to spend about $1,750 in 2005 dollars for a two week visit, staying in accommodations equivalent to Western ones.

Perhaps India's best-known site is the Taj Mahal, one of the world's greatest architectural achievements. It was built between 1631 and 1653 by Emperor Shah Jahan in honor of his wife, Arjumand Banu, more popularly known as Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal serves as her tomb.

One of the popular tourist circuits is called the Golden Triangle: the cities Delhi; Agra (site of the Taj Mahal); and Jaipur. Delhi is approximately 200 kilometers away from Agra, and 250 kilometers from Jaipur.

India also has a large variety of protected wildlife. The country's protected wilderness consists of 75 National parks of India and 421 Sanctuaries, of which 19 fall under the purview of Project Tiger. Its climatic and geographic diversity makes it the home of over 350 mammals and 1200 bird species, many of which are unique to the subcontinent. Some well known national wildlife sanctuaries include Corbett, Kanha, Sariska, Periyar, Ranthambore, and Bharatpur.

Answer 5

india is rich in it's culture.

The Indian culture has enjoyed an international reputation for the brass and bell metal work. The technology of metalworking had been entrenched in the Indian Culture by 2500 B.C. This technology then was manifested in myriad exquisite and sturdy images and icons.

These images and icons are still found in temples. They are still being produced in household niches such as lamps, platters and other items required for acts of worship. The metals being used for these products are mostly gold, silver, copper, brass, bronze, and other mixed metals and alloys.

Infact the world-famous dancing figure of Nataraja, which is a strong element of the Indian Culture, is a work in the Chola tradition. This piece of art epitomizes the achievement of art in the Indian Culture.

In fact an even more remarkable fact is that most of the everyday household equipments that people in India use are art objects. The simplest of equipments ranging from the kitchen ladle, to the nutcracker, the water-pot, are all perfect examples of the artistic bend in the Indian Culture.

In fact even the simple water-pot takes on a myriad forms and shapes. Some of them even have embossed borders. Woodcraft has a variety of ranges, ranging from select temple craftsmen to makers of bullock-carts or statues.

The unassuming and fragile earthen pottery holds a rich tradition in India. In a majority of the States, the potter fashions clay into pots, jars, tumblers and platters of myriad shapes, some of which are ornamental and some of which are useful.

But in the time of the rains, the village potter's wheel remains idle. Ivory is yet another special material which has been used by the Indian craftsmen to produce lace-like texture, fashioning delicate icons to combs, necklaces to bedsteads.

The skills of the Indian craftsmen are such that they can work pith to the same degree of perfection. In fact the jewelry and trinkets in made in India till date shows a great amount of continuity with the ancient Indian Culture.
