Welcome: Basic Information

Welcome to the All About India Blog! I am Kunal and I am here to provide you information about India that you may find interesting.

Now some of you may be wondering, where is India? What is the country known for? What is the main type of cuisine?

Let's begin with basic information of India. India, or Bharat, is a subcontinent located in Asia.


It has the second highest population in the world of 1.2 billion people, and is the 7th largest country in the world. Hindi is the official language of India, and English is the secondary language. Although the country of India was founded in 1947, after Mahamta Gandhi won independence from the British, it has a long history going back to the Indus Valley Civilization (3300-1300 BCE). Over 1000's of years control switched from the Maratha Empire, then to the Gupta Empire, then to the Delhi Sultnate, the the Mughals, and then the British. 

As you read this blog, you will discover a lot of information of things you probably did not know about India. Hopefully, I can change your minds about India by showing you how diverse and cultural it is. 

Thanks!
