Activated India

The synonyms for India are Bharat and Hindustan. Diversity in the name itself, imagine the diversity you would notice in culture, colors, vigor, taste across the country.



Geographically India is the seventh-largest country, 2nd most populous country & most populous democracy in the world. Four of the world's major religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism—originated here, while Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam arrived from other parts of the world. The land here has a great tolerance to accept each and every culture coming across the world.


A reality check – Most people here complain upon the government not playing safe with the finances, corruption at peak, infrastructure not well planned, poverty, overly populated, unemployment etc. In spite of negative publicity that government had received, India is classified as new industrialized country and is one of the four BRIC nations.


India is a mini world in itself; it has deserts, valleys, mountains, beaches, glaciers everything divided in 28 states and seven union territories. God has actually worked upon this country with minute details. So do the countrymen of this nation. In a way they are god fearing & religious but on a contrary they would forget humanity to respect the religious vows.


Festivals - Once upon a time it was a medium to build relations, interact and thanking God for giving this life but the meaning now has changed to “Show Off” how much you can spend. Unity before has converted into competition now. Your rating is decided by the amount of noise you make and amount of resources that you can waste.


People - You might buy your own shoes twice, you may encounter theft by the most helpful person, you may get directions for the same address in absolute different directions. But you will also find a stranger going out of way to get your stolen thing, you may be get shelter by a completely unknown family, you may find a person accompanying you till you reach the destination. They are WEIRD !!


Roads here have potholes, people will spit everywhere, speed breakers may break your spine, and the dustbins would be forever overflowing…huhhhhh! But it’s the same place where you have the liberty to voice your opinions, you would find bonded families, you would find real friends and most importantly you will find your individuality as it gives each and everyone a fair opportunity to prove yourself.


However it may be - irritable, noisy, polluted, populated, corrupted, uncivilized yet the entire world finds the peace and solace here; after all our spiritual roots & Vedic morals are ingrained in our genes.


However drastic situation be, people here say “Sab thik ho jayega” (Everything will be fine). The world will only start sinking when “A Bhartiyay” will start losing hope and faith, till then “Sab thik hai” (All is Well)


I feel proud to be a minuscule part of this country. Proud to be an Indian… A Bhartiyay…A Hindustani :)
