India can truly claim being one of the oldest continuous civilizations on Earth. India’s recorded history goes back almost 8,000 years when early farming communities developed around Baluchistan in modern day Pakistan. In time these settlements grew to form the Indus Valley Civilisation – contemporary with the Egyptian, Mesopotamia and Chinese Yangtze Civilisations.
India is such an amalgam of diversity contained within a cultural hegemony, one can very well get confused when describing Indian Culture. From North to South and East to West there are differences in habits and diets as well as socio-religious diversity. However the greatest achievement of India and The Subcontinent is that whilst it has had many invaders over the centuries, India has managed to ‘Indianize’ all those who have come into contact with it and at the same time it has incorporated some of the key elements of the invaders to produce the modern India.
Travellers to India today can enjoy a multitude of diverse experiences across this expansive country from the Himalayan mountain range in the north to the Indian Ocean in the south, taking in a variety of cuisines, faiths, cultures, history, arts, crafts, music, nature and incredible lands on every visit.
