INDIA

I love India.

I love India, and been there two times.  I also love shopping, and I know lots of cheap places to shop in India. 

India is India

مرسی برای تمامی عکس‌های زیباتون.

در هند دو اتفاق بیشتر برای گردشگران نیمفته یا شیدا وار عاشقش میشن و یا منزجر. از کشوری که سعی میکنه دوست‌داشتن بدون قید و بند رو به همگی یاد بده

متاسفام برای خودم که خیلی راحت فرصت دیدنش رو از کف دادم :(

 لازمه سفر به هند قضاوت نکردن و قبول هر چیز که میبینید هست که متاسفانه این هم خارج از توان و فکر هر فردی هست. 

Nice pictures. Some seem like an oil painting.

The pictures where people are selling or bathing or simply standing around seem like frozen time. 

Everything is sacred

It is the largest democracy in the world and that is thanks to the British who left them with it. Overall however the culture has gone awry and weird and it is getting weirder. The disparity in between poor and rich and the strong class society will eventually result in social unrest in the future. There is no way they can sustain their country on the path they are.

India, a fascinating country indeed, but

I came across this stats the other day. It said at the time of independence from the UK, India's population was around 340 million.

Now India's population is over 1.2 billion. If you add the populations of Pakistan and Bangladesh, which were part of India at the time of its independence from the UK, the total population of the Indian sub-continent rises to nearly 1.6 billion! 

That is a rise of nearly 500% in just over 6 decades! And about 23% of the entire world's population.

I don't know about everyone else, but that kind of scares me. No wonder Indians/Pakistanis are pouring into other countries e.g US, UK, Canada etc. in ever increasing numbers. They are starting to run out of room in their own countries, seeing as the concepts of family planning and birth rate control seem to have escaped them.

Amazing!

An incredibly fascinating place, great photographs, and extremely helpful and interesting photo descriptions. Thank you for taking us to another part of the world again!

You are truly an amazingly generous human being. Thank you.

P.S. I happen to know just what kind of time photo essays take. This is a remarkable effort on the part of Mr. Tabari and Jahanshah Javid. Thank you both.

this sorry place

... is the largest democracy in the world, the most diverse and tolerant society in the world, the birthplace of the most amazing and colorful civilizations...

i have more love and respect for india, thanks to you keyvan.

I wonder,

Why would anyone wants to visit such a sorry place?

Thank you.

Thank you for sharing.
