Description
India is a vast and diverse county. Many of its 28 states are bigger in size and population than some of the countries of the world. From Kashmir in the north to Kanniyakumari in the south, it stretches across over 3.5 thousand kilometers. Its people have hundreds of dialects and there are about 18 official languages which change every few miles as you travel through its expanse. Hindi is the national language and is spoken all over the country. English is also spoken and understood in most parts of India.
Ancient kings built several forts and other buildings. Many of them are in ruins now. But there are many others which are intact even today and draw Indian as well as foreign tourists. They include the Red Fort, the Taj Mahal, the Stupas of Sanchi and Sarnath, the Ajanta and Ellora Caves, mosques and temples, and churches and Gurudwaras.
You have the Dreamland’s Atlas of India before you. As you go through its pages, you will feel like traveling across the length and breadth of the country, that is India. It will be your best companion and guide in the states and cities as you ravel through them. All the roads with their arteries, places of tourist interest, in fact, the entire landscape are shown clearly and distinctly. Bon voyage!
