India- A Profile
‘If there is one place on the face of this Earth where all the dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when Man began the dream of existence, it is India.’- Romain Rolland (French Philosopher 1886-1944)

INDIA'S ANCIENT AND DIVERSE CULTURE, sweeping back at least 5,000 years, with successive waves of migration absorbed into the fabric of Indian life, has enriched it time and again to make a multi-cultural nation with a rich diversity of languages, customs, cuisines, religions, literature and arts. Within this kaleidoscope of immense variety there is a thread of continuity that has determined Indian civilisation and social structure. An ancient civilization and a resurgent nation, India is a land of great diversity, unity and vitality.
