My Reflections

India is a kaleidoscope of civilizations. Great urdu poet Raghupati sahai firaq Gourakhpuri rightly said Sarzameen-e hind par aqwam-e aalam ka firaq Qafle guzarte gaye, hindustan banta gaya Various races have been migrating and settling here. Aryans, Mongols, Caucasians and even Dravidans who were once considered to be native of India came from outside. Diversifications in traditions, culture, beliefs make it a truly diverse country.
