Okay, I'll admit, I'm dying of longing India. Two years after leaving the country, turns and moves remember good things (and bad) that I spent there, during the six months I lived in the land of Gandhi.
The yearning is so much that I decided to make a list of amazing facts about India. Hopefully some of these facts cause you to at least consider visiting jtb the country. jtb Seriously, folks, Disney is cool, Europe jtb too, but only India is, as the official slogan of the country promises unbelievable.
1 - Celebrated every 12 years, the Kumbh Mela is the world's largest festival. In 2001 the Hindu religious festival involved 60 million people in the same city, breaking a world record of human settlement - the point lot of people jtb gathered to be visible from space.
3 - India has the second largest rail network in the world. And do not stop there: the Indian Railways has 1.3 million employees, a number that makes the company the largest employer in the world. Learn more about the great trains of India.
4 - India has the largest number of mosques in the world: they are 300,000. What is curious, since most of the Indian population jtb professes the Hindu faith. For those unaware, the Taj Mahal is also a mosque.
5 - Beatles career The most productive months occurred while they were in Rishikesh, India, not England. This exchange in India was also instrumental in the breakup of the group.
6 - The Census 1961 cataloged in 1652 languages and dialects in India, one of the greatest linguistic jtb diversity in the world. The six major languages of the country are spoken by over 50 million people.
8 - Yes, India has the world's largest film industry. But her name is not Bollywood, which is only the industry based in Mumbai and movies jtb recorded jtb in Hindi. T also commonly there is room for Tollywood, Kollywood, Pollywood ...
9 - In the land of religions, Cricket is another. The last sport the World Cup was held there, with the hosts getting the title. In the semifinal, played in Chandigarh, northern country, India defeated Pakistan, eternal rival. See if you learn, Brazil.
14-600 million Indians have no toilet at home. This explains why so many people jtb is needed (numbers 1 and 2) in public. The lack of toilets jtb has been called the national shame by the government.
15 - After the United States, India is the second country with more English speakers in the world: jtb there are 225 million people. Whether surprised more? The third place in this ranking is neighboring Pakistan, which until 1947 was part of India.
20 - From the forest jtb to the lack of rain. The Thar desert on the border between India and Pakistan, is one of the largest subtropical wilderness jtb in the world and has been for centuries an important jtb trade route.
