INDIA: The Land of Variations

Whenever it Comes to India you might have thought of poverty and chaos everywhere. But you're definitely judging this nation wrong. India is actually a land of Variations. The country is divided into 28 states and 8 Union Territories.

        India was earlier known as Bharata. Some people believe that this name of India was based on the third son of Dashratha  "Bharata". Dashratha was the King of Ayodhaya. But this is completely wrong. This name of India i.e, Bharata

was based on the name of Bharata tribe living in Northern India.

        

            India was a very huge country once and was well known as the "Golden Bird". But sadly people of India did not understand the importance of their country and lose all its treasures.

    India's boundaries were extended up to Afghanistan. Yes! you read it correct. Afghanistan was once a part of India. This evident from King Ashoka's stone craved messages in  Kandhara in the Afghanistan.

 

    Nepal, Mayanmar, Bangladesh and Shri Lanka were also a part of India. Most of the neighboring countries have been a part of India in the Past

.

India is now officially known as "Republic of India".

    Most devastating robbery in India was made by Britishers in India. They came in India with a company of approx. 200 people and started to rule India by making their government. An estimate made by Indian Economists says that approx. 40 Trillion USD was the amount which British took from India whether it was in form of goods or some historical treasures (such as Kohinoor). 

    Kohinoor is not only claimed by India. But some other countries such as Iran and Pakistan also claim the Kohinoor Diamond.

    Meanwhile when British were ruling India, British Economy was boosting up and Indian economy was going down.

    However we can't do anything about all the tragedies which Mother India faced. But now after about 75 years of Independence we have grown fast. India is 6th Largest economy in the world. Biggest producer of milk, pulses and spices.
