About India

India dominates South Asia, sweeping from the Himalayan peaks along its northern frontier to the tropical shores of the Indian Ocean. Governed from New Delhi, it is a land of extraordinary diversity, with hundreds of languages, ancient river-valley civilizations, and monuments ranging from Mughal marvels like the Taj Mahal to rock-cut temples. Its contributions to mathematics, philosophy, and cuisine have shaped cultures across the globe.
