Your Land and My Land Asia: India

Product Description

Prepare to unlearn whatever you though you knew about India - this ancient part of the world is a platter of a hundred flavours, a thousand ingredients, and a million juices. Don't let the country's young borders trick you; India's story goes back thousands of years to before the birth of Hinduism, which is one of the oldest religions in the world. This land has attracted many people. Alexander the Great, Arabs, and Europeans were just a few. India absorbed them all. Today the country is a pluralistic country where Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains, Jews, and Zoroastrians speak to each other in hundreds of musical languages. It is a nation that is swiftly emerging as an economic force around the world. India is a thick soup that has been cooking on a slow, steady heat for centuries. Are you ready for your first sip?
