Discover India


Despite having 26 times more people than Spain, India actually has less bullfighters.


Yes, India and Spain are very different countries with different cultures. Where in Spain, people celebrate bullfighting and bull running, India actually worships cows and sees them as holy creatures. You will not find many places selling hamburgers to Indian people who make up 17% of the World´s 7 billion people.  Over one million Indians from the state of Maharastra flock to the Pandurpur at the culmination of a pilgrimage from across the state to mark the pilgrimage that Saint Dynashewar made to Pandurpur around 1200 ad. The ceremoney of Ashadh Ekadashi, which is marked by the lunar calendar, usually falls in the height of the monsoon season, after farmers have sown their  seeds, and are waiting for weeding.The holy ceremony falls on  the 14 July, 2008.


However India is the world´s largest democracy and many experts believe it could become the world´s next super power. Nowadays Russia is not longer one of them but Europe, China and India have all grounded their economies and level of influence. We only have to look two Bollywood that is a theatrical rival two Hollywood.


In spite of Bollywood´s influence, I am sure not everybody is always singing and dancing in the streets.


Indians do not speak Indian. Indian is not even a language. The majority of people actually speak Hindi and English. Officially 20 other languages are spoken, besides of many dialects. That is why this country is one of the most linguistically disperse nations in the word.


Further differences between India and Spain would be how women are treated in society. Being born is difficult for indian girls as most as parents want boys. This puts tniƱaheir lives at risk and I am sure the situation today is not exactly what Gandhi would


have hoped.


So if you love cows, eating curry and snake charming Cobras, India is the place for you.
