India, officially the Republic of India, is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by area, the second-most populous country, and the most populous democracy in the world.
History and Culture: In Southern India the ancient kingdoms have long vanished, but you can still feel the presence of 2000-year old traditions. Early seafarers came to this fabled land of spices to trade. Remnants of a varied colonial past that resulted from this trade dot the peninsula. Against this enticing backdrop the expressions of modern life assume a unique flavor.
Every year Republic Day is celebrated in India on 26th January with zeal and enthusiasm. Spectacular parades at Janpath, New Delhi, consisting the Indian National Army and national flag hoisting in various parts of the country are common practices followed on this day. It was this day in history in 1965 when Hindi was declared as the official language of India.
