About India
India is one of the oldest civilizations in the world with a kaleidoscopic(quickly change) variety and rich cultural heritage. It has achieved all-round socio-economic progress since Independence. As India's 7th largest country in the world, India stands apart from the rest of Asia, marked off as it is by mountains and the sea, which gives the country a distinct geographical entity. Bounded by the Great Himalayas(or Himalaya) in the north, it stretches southwards and at the Tropic of Cancer, tapers off into the Indian Ocean between the Bay of Bengal on the east and the Arabian Sea (Indian Ocean)on the west.
