India The country of 6 seasons,  Summer, Rainy, Autumn,Winter, Hemanta (between Autumn and Winter) and  Spring ….   ,India the country of  many  religions , What to say about India. India, the world’s largest democracy, has a very diverse population, geography and climate. India is the world’s second most populous country, and the world’s seventh largest country in area.

India has 22 official languages, namely Assamese, Bengali, Bodo, Dogri, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Kashmiri, Konkani, Maithili, Malayalam, Manipuri, Marathi, Nepali, Oriya, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Santhali, Sindhi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu. There are also hundreds of other less prominent languages like Tulu, Bhojpuri and Ladakhi that are the main spoken language of some places.Hindi, natively spoken by 41% of the population, is the primary tongue of the people from the “Hindi Belt”(including the capital Delhi) in Northern India.

travel around it is also important. Much has been made of the confusing Indian head nod for yes and no, but the only important thing to understand is that Indians have different nods for yes, ok and no.

  • Shaking their head back and forth, mean yes.
  • Nodding their head in a tilting motion from right to left,  mean okay indicating acceptance.
  • Shake their head from left to right twisting it about the vertical axis, mean no.
  • There are differences in the way these signs are used in northern and southern India. The back to forth is yes and a vigorous left-right shift is no in North, though latter may be construed for yes in southern states like Tamilnadu. Look for verbal cues that accompany these sounds in south (like ‘aaan’ for yes ) in south to get the correct meaning.

India’s tourism ministry has started a program to encourage people to show more courtesy and to display sensitivity to the needs of tourists. It has named the initiative Atithi Devo Bhavah, which is an ancient Hindu dictum meaning “Guest is a God”.
