Some interesting things that I want to share with you about India

    • India is the seventh largest country in the world.
    • India has the second largest population in the world.
    • India is the largest democracy in the world.
    • There are 398 languages and 844 dialects exists in India of which 22 are official languages.
    • 80% of Indian population are following "Hindu" religion, 12% follows "Muslim"  religion.
    • There are countless number of casts and sub-casts exist among the religions in India. 


    Even though Indian culture is so much diverse, Unity in Diversity is the strength of India. Do you know that India and Pakistan were supposed to be one country, if the British people didn't interfere with the political leaders and implement the secret formula of "Divide and Rule" strategy? Because of this India and Pakistan were split and Pakistan became an independent Muslim country. And they keep on rival with India even today. But now India is in a position that Pakistan can never achieve even after 100 years. If Pakistan was part of Republic of India, then it would have been in a great position in the world like India. Now they are blamed for being one among the training centers for most of the terrorists in this world.

    Do you know that the two Ambani brothers can buy 100 percent of every company listed on the Karachi Stock Exchange, Pakistan (KSE) and would still be left with $30 billion to spare?
    Do you know that the four richest Indians can buy up all goods and services produced over a year by all 169 million Pakistanis and still be left with $60 billion to spare?
    Do you know that the four richest Indians are now richer than the forty richest Chinese?

    Indian Achievments: Sabeer Bhatia created and founded Hotmail... Sun Microsystems was founded by Vinod Khosla. The Intel Pentium processor, that runs 90 percent of all computers, was fathered by Vinod Dham. Rajiv Gupta co-invented Hewlett Packard's E-speak project. 4 out of 10 Silicon Valley start-ups are run by Indians. Bollywood produces 800 movies per year and 6 Indian ladies have won Miss Universe/Miss World titles over the past 10 years.
    For the record: Azim Premji, the richest Muslim entrepreneur on the face of the planet, was born in Bombay and now lives in Bangalore. India now has more than three dozen billionaires; Pakistan has none (not a single dollar billionaire).

    The other amazing aspect is the rapid pace at which India is creating wealth. In 2002, Dhirubhai Ambani, Mukesh and Anil Ambani's father, left his two sons a fortune worth $2.8 billion. In 2007, their combined wealth stood at $94 billion. On 29 October 2007, as a result of the stock market rally and the appreciation of the Indian rupee, Mukesh became the richest person in the world, with net worth climbing to US$63.2 billion (Bill Gates, the richest American, stands at around $56 billion).

    What is it that Indians have that Pakistanis don't?
    It is the "Development Mindset".
    Indians think of Construction of own nation, unlike other nations who are just concerned with destruction of others. India will become an extremely powerful nation in this world soon competing with China. The rest of the nations will come only after these two countries. Pakistan will go further down as the country is degrading in a fast pace. Lets wait and see whats going to happen.

    Signing off, Sarika
