INDIA

Second most populated country in the world after China. How to account of the variety, ethnic, cultural, spiritual, geographic of a country the size of a continent? What do the the heights of the Himalayans in the North and the jungles from Kerala in the South, the arid desert of That in the West and the tropical forest of Tripura in the East have in common? Indian diversity is not only a geographic matter, it is also a question of scale. Nowhere else are the crowds as significant, the large cities as overcrowded. In Bombay, the riches and sophistication of certain privileged move along with the "infra human" life of those who live in some of the most expansive shantytowns on the planet. Without taken into account that in the forests of Madhya Pradesh live an aboriginal people whose way of life has not changed for centuries. This giant space, these paradoxes collide with such profusion that the traveler is in great risk of feeling lost, disoriented. Enchanting, exotic, soft, but at the same time aggressive, intolerant, archaic, India puts everyone's nerves to the test. A certain mental availability and great adaptation skills are needed to keep a foothold. A first journey to this country constitutes a "total experience" which provokes extreme reactions, unbridled admiration, or utter rejection. India acts as a lover. Disappointed or not, everyone who has discovered it once will desire to return. There is no such thing as an archetype India, but there are so many "Indias", in the end, maybe you will find what you are looking for.
