Introduction- India It is impossible not to be surprised by India. Nowhere on Earth does humankind present itself in such a creative burst of cultures and religions, races and languages. Every aspect of the country presents itself on a massive, overstated scale, worthy in judgment only to the excellent mountains that overshadow it. Possibly the only thing more difficult than to be indifferent to India would be to describe or understand India completely.
Quote- Unquote Albert Einstein once said: “We owe a lot to the Indians, who educated us to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made.”
