Official information: India (भारत / Bhārat) is a country in South Asia and encompasses a large part of the Indian subcontinent. The Himalayas form India's natural northern border, and to the south, India is surrounded by the Indian Ocean. The Federal Republic of India is made up of 28 states and eight federal territories, which often have their own laws and regulations. India's political system is based on the British model of a parliamentary republic. Despite constitutional freedom of religion, Indian society is largely governed by the hierarchical caste system. Hindus are by far the largest religious group, followed by Muslims, Christians, and the Sikhs, Buddhists, and Jains, who are historically of Indian origin. With an average elevation of 160 meters, India ranks 141st in the world. Its lowest point is at sea level and its highest at 8,586 meters. |

Personal information: I have a special connection to India; it feels a bit like my second home! But let me start at the beginning: From December 2011 to January 2012, I spent five weeks in India, visiting Rajasthan, the Taj Mahal, Amber, Jaipur, Pushkar, Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Kerala, Goa, and Mumbai. Incredible impressions, but I was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information in just five weeks. I probably wouldn't have gone back for a while, but in 2015, work took me to Namur, Mumbai. First for three months, then six months, then a year, and in the end, it was almost two years, during which I made several friends and acquaintances. On weekends, I first explored Mumbai, then the places reachable by car, then those accessible by plane, and finally, I deepened my impressions of Mumbai. Even after my work assignment ended, I've been back to India a few more times—and if possible, I'd like to repeat that soon! |
