INDIA

INCREDIBLE INDIA! Vast, old, historical, varied, multicultural, delicious, complex- almost anything I say about it is certain to be inaccurate.
28 states, 8 union territories. 22 languages recognised in the Constitution. 1.4 billion people. 2000 ethnic groups. 6 religions practised by 4 million people or more.
A powerhouse impoverished by 400 years of British invasion, now that they have gone, India is growing again.
From camels in the desert to forests in the wettest place on earth. Himalayan mountains, mighty rivers, endangered wildlife, Moghul history, frentic cities, poverty and wealth. The Golden Temple. Delhi. The Taj Mahal. Too much food. Cricket. Moustaches. Madness.
Three trips and counting so far: 2004 Mumbai, 2019 bits of the north and west, 2023 the north-east.
