Book Review by: rimi001     

Original Author: rashmi gandhi
with one foot deeply grounded in time-honoured traditions,and the other fervently striding into the e-age india embraces
diversity like no other country on earth.home to a widly varied population of over one billion people,this is a land of astonishing contrasts as sublime as it is squalid with plains as flat and featureless as the himalaya are towering and spectacular,and religious texts as their underlying message is simple.for the traveller,india presents a bewildering and remarkable mix of things to see and do,for those keen on dipping into the sacred,an array of sacrosanct sites and spiritual encounters beckon,history buffs will discover hidden historic gems around almost every corner-from crumbling vestiges of the british raj fringing frenetic city streets,to mighty battle-scarred forts looming high above forlorn country paddocks.meanwhile,lovers of the great outdoors can paddle in the warm waters of one of many sun-washed beaches,scout for big jungle cats on an adrenaline-pumping wildlife safari,or simply breathe in flower-scented air on a mind cleansing forest walk.india is a place to expect the unexpected and your journey through it is ultimately going to be exactly what you make of it.this mystifying country isnt a place you merely see,its an invigorating assault on all senses,an experience thats impossible to define because its so incredibly different for everyone.love it or hate it and most visitors seesaw between the two india will jostle your entire being and no matter where you go or what you do.its a placeyou will never forget.
