The edge of the world, a wonderful country: India.
Populated by 1 billion 210 million souls, India is a great economic power. However, its population is deeply rooted in its traditions.
Khumbha Mela, a marvelous city with 50 million Hindu pilgrims. At the heart of Mumbai, megalopolis of 23 million inhabitants, the Dharavi slum is the city of untouchables. The state of Kerala is a haven of peace: Beaches of coconut tangle of navigable canals, deep jungle and lush, misty mountains covered with tea plantations, spectacular Kathakali dance, martial arts ancestors.Rajasthan is the land of lords and maharajas. Its medieval towns, small isolated villages of the Thar desert, making it one of the most beautiful destinations in the country. In the city of Mathura thousands of devotees celebrate a collective madness of spring in overlapping colored powders.
With a population of 1 billion 210 million souls, India after China, the most populous country in the world. Fascinating for some, disturbing to others, India is exuberant in its colors, in its boundless wealth, its poverty unbearable, ardent in its festivals.If the Indian sub-continent is becoming an economic superpower, which in the future will have as well as the United States of America or China, the vast majority of men and women very attached to their traditions and their way of life for centuries.
In Khumba Mela, the largest pilgrimage in the world is organized ...

Here is an excerpt of a song Hindu:Lyrics: R. Gall, music: D. Whitaker, 1968
Blue hills and lavender fieldsOrange and pink the GangesI shall never seeMy beautiful country India
Thousand scents, tobacco flowerSnow off my sweet heartI shall never seeMy beautiful country India
Dry land, the people prayOh I wish that rain fallsThat children have more hungerIn my country
I'm lost in the nightIn this city where I liveNever laughs or singingAnd just living to die
Blue hills and lavender fieldsOrange and pink the GangesI shall never seeMy beautiful country India
Thousand scents, tobacco flowerSnow off my sweet heartI shall never seeMy beautiful country India
Too thunder falls over the cityToo many soldiers for every girlThe tranquil heart in my countryWhere is it?
