It is India’s vastness that stimulates the imagination. The sub-continent, 3200km (2000 miles) from the Himalayas in the north to the tropical lushness of Kerala in the south, is home to one sixth of the world’s population, a diverse culture, intoxicatingly rich with history.
The most visited part of India is the Golden Triangle – Delhi and the spectacular monuments of Agra and Jaipur, a legacy of centuries of Muslim rule –but there is much besides. The unfairly maligned great cities of Mumbai and Kolkata (Calcutta) have a buzzing, colourful appeal, while the holy city of Varanasi or the awe-inspiring temples of Tamil Nadu are deserving objects of pilgrimage. For those seeking more simple pleasures, the beaches of Goa have a European charm all of their own.
Hinduism is practised by 85% of Indians, the religious rites and red-letter days woven into the fabric of ordinary life – ritual washing in the Ganges and the jubilant celebrations of the festival of Ganesh – and the inequalities of the caste system are there for all to observe.
One of the wonders of India is the juxtaposition of old and new; centuries of history – from the pre-historic Indus civilisation to the British Raj –clash with the computer age; and Bangalore's ‘Silicon Valley’ is as much a part of the world's largest democracy as the remotest village is.
India is fast becoming a major economic power in the world today. And if its growth trend continues for some more years, it would soon be playing a major role in the world economy along with China. This itself has been a major cause of attraction for many international students. Moreover, India's successful stint with democracy (except the years between 1975-1977) has also been a major magnetic force for scholars around the world. However, apart from knowing India well, there are some other advantages that are attracting students to study in India. Some of these are:
· Low Cost: The cost of education in India is quite low as compared
to many other countries of the world.
· Quality Education:Quality of education is not uniform throughout
the length and breath of the country. However, there are some
educational institutes in India that provide world class education.
