Incredible India

Incredible India, or at least that's how it is being promoted on the televisions and newspapers these days ,started it's journey on the early hours of the 15th of August, 1947, when it was freed from the Imperial rule of East India Company a.k.a. United Kingdom. Slowly, but steadily, it recovered itself from the past troubles and problems, and kept itself calm during the raging storm (World War II), and become known as the world's largest democracy!


India has made some serious efforts towards progress in the last 63 years. From a nation which had only bare minimum to support its internal needs, it became a nation which gives a continuous competition in the Global Market. A lot of technological and infrastructural developments have taken place in the past, and are still taking place. The face of India is getting better day by day.


Indian standards of education have stood upright in the world. Every year, thousands of undergraduates make their way to renowned universities of the world, along with thousands of graduates who get job offers from Multi National firms around the globe. 
Education in India in primary and secondary schools is provided under the following boards-ICSE, CBSE, ISC, IB, and state boards. IITs and IIMs are the two most renowned institutes for undergraduate and post graduate courses respectively.

India nurtures democratic thoughts in its mind, and believe in the equal participation of all beings. Since1950, the year when the Indian constitution came into existence, we have followed a democratic form of government, provided reservations to the backward classes to promote their interest in the governmental activities and uphold the ideologies of the father of our nation, Mahatma Gandhi. 




After every 5 year, Union and state elections take place in India, not necessarily together. The area to be contested in election is divided into smaller constituencies called districts, and a representative is elected from each of these districts. After the elections have ended, the representatives of the various districts come together, and form a parliament. An electoral competition takes place in the parliament, and the one who gets the most support of the parliament heads the government (becomes the Prime Minister) and his party (individuals following the same ideologies) becomes known as the ruling party. The other section of the parliament (excluding the ruling party) becomes the opposition party, and keeps track on the activities of the ruling party, and when it notices some flaws in the working of the government, it reports it in the parliament, and asks for corrections.

India's natural beauty, though it has decreased through the decades due to the industrial developments and the negligence of the inhabitants towards green environment, is still picturesque enough to hold the glances of the passer-by. From its head to its toe, India is gifted with natural beauty of no equivalent. The Himalayas at the top, the huge coastline on either sides, a desert to its northwestern boundary, a dense and tropical forest in the southern part of India (Andra Pradesh) and Sundarban (the world's only reserve of one horn rhinoceros) on the eastern side.

India has served as the anvil upon which some of the world's religion have been forged. Buddhism, Jainism, Hinduism, Sikhism are some of the religions that trace its root back from India. These religions still flourish in India, hence,making it a land of diversity.

This diverse population has posed a stiff challenged to the smooth running of the democratic government. The continuous strife between the Hindu and the Muslim population had first, dissected the country into two parts ( India and Pakistan ), and later created a situation through which no democratic government could effectively be ruled. India's huge population has also posed some serious threats to  its present economical conditions. The very high rate of illiteracy among the Indian population unable it to transform its population liability into its population asset.Corruption which has crept from unknown sources has also posed some deadly problems to the Indian government.


But, as I am sure, India will surpass this state as it has done before, and will continue its journey with power and enthusiasm.
