Beyond the Taj Mahal: Unveiling the real India

 

The Bada Bagh

The Bada Bagh


India is a highly enigmatic nation, the cradle of the oldest civilization, the birthplace of Buddhism and Hinduism, and a hub for trade. For generations, Indians have engaged in some startling customs. The unique blend of old temples and magnificent palaces with busy bazaars and run-down shacks surprises many tourists visiting the nation.

 

Beautiful scenery, such as beaches, jungles, and mountain peaks, provides a backdrop for all of this diversity in India. Additionally, India is home to chic resorts that draw visitors from around the globe. Every year, more and more people are choosing to travel to India, a nation with a distinctive culture, philosophy, and centuries-old customs.

 

It is a country of stark contrasts, with impoverished neighborhoods situated close to the most opulent resorts in the world, which can enthrall even the pickiest tourists with their elegance and coziness. 


A journey to India is an incredible adventure that will leave you with fresh and fascinating experiences because of the country's rich cultural and architectural legacy, its warm sea with sandy beaches, its subtropical landscapes, its friendly population, and its distinct national atmosphere.

 

The potential to learn more about the world and oneself can also be greatly enhanced by a vacation to India. Ancient architectural monuments, numerous museums, the well-known Golden Triangle route, the majestic Himalayas, the holy Ganges, the enigmatic Tibet, the Western Ghats' jungles, and numerous coastal resorts are just a few of the many attractions that make up this wonderful nation's pride.

 

Geographical location

 

Situated on the Indian subcontinent in the center of Asia, India is encircled by the Indian Ocean, which includes the Bay of Bengal to the east and the Arabian Sea to the west. India is more than 3,000 kilometers long in both directions, and its land boundary is more than 15,000 kilometers long. In terms of total land area, India ranks seventh globally. The nation shares borders with Burma and Bangladesh to the east, Pakistan to the northwest, and Nepal, China, and Bhutan to the north. It is separated from Sri Lanka to the south by a narrow strait.

 

The population

 

India is home to more than a billion people, making it the second-most populous country in the world. The people there are welcoming, amiable, and open-minded. They treat every visitor with sincere curiosity, consideration, and care because they think that any deity can come to Earth as a guest.

 

Characteristics of the mindset

 

Indians are not accustomed to publicly expressing their emotions. For instance, it is improper for couples to touch hands in public, much less embrace and kiss. You may see the image of Indian males walking hand in hand at the same moment. This represents friendship and is regarded as the standard. 


Strangely enough, locals are quite emotional and restrained; if the other person begins to raise their voice or make aggressive gestures, the Indian can just stop the conversation.

 

Women cover their long, loose hair with a headscarf or tie it up in a ponytail since it is considered improper. Indian women should wear loose garments to conceal their legs as well. At the entrance of a house, temple, or hospital, shoes must be taken off. In India, joining the fingers of both hands is a common welcoming gesture.

 

Religion

 

Here, practically every major faith in the world coexists. Over 10% of the population is Muslim, and about 80% of the population is Hindu. Buddhists, Christians, Parsis, Sikhs, Jains, and adherents of various religions can also be found in India.

 

Language

 

English and Hindi are the official languages, while some governments additionally recognize regional tongues like Bengali and Tamil.

 

The best time to visit

 

After the monsoon rains have subsided, September is thought to be the ideal time of year to travel to India. Since the weather is perfect for traveling throughout the nation and taking a leisurely vacation, November and December often see the highest visitor traffic.

 

Where to stay

 

All of India's major vacation cities have hotels ranging from two to five stars. Nonetheless, lodging in a so-called guest house—a hostel or "non-star" hotel that offers only the bare necessities of a bed, a kitchen, and a shower—can result in cost savings. Ashram communities offer nearly free lodging and meals to unassuming tourists, but it's vital to remember that the surroundings are somewhat spartan.

 

In India, as in the majority of other nations, tips typically represent around 10% of the overall bill. Although they are included in the final bill in large hotels, it is nevertheless common to pay porters about five rupees and maids two to three rupees.

 

The capital

 

New Delhi, a subdivision of Delhi, the world's third-largest city, serves as India's official capital. More than 11 million people call it home. All of the nation's differences may be seen in this capital city: fancy vehicles and bullock carts coexist, modern skyscrapers merge with old ruins, and trendy young people live side by side with devout hermits.

 

Tens of thousands of internationally recognized historical and cultural landmarks that span thousands of years can be found in Delhi. Among the city's most important tourist destinations are Humayun's Tomb, the Gateway of India, the magnificent Agra Fort on the banks of the holy Yamuna River, the Nizamuddin Dargah, the largest mosque in the country, the Lodhi Gardens, the magnificent Lotus Temple, and more.

 

In the capital, buses are the most widely used form of transportation, making up over half of all traffic. From the railway station in Delhi, you can travel to any part of India.


Beach resorts

 

Indian resorts are well-known for their beach vacations, and travelers frequently travel to Goa, the state that is most renowned in this regard. It is situated on the Arabian Sea coast in the southeast of the nation. In addition to its quaint cafes and restaurants, this region is well-known for its serene and charming bays and flat-bottomed coves. Well-known local diving schools provide a wide variety of equipment for diving in the ocean waters.

 

Goa is separated into two regions, even though not the most affordable by local standards, the southern portion is a cozy resort with first-rate hotels and sophisticated infrastructure. There are affordable options for young people in the northern portion of the state, which is home to bars, nightclubs, and other entertainment establishments.

 

The Arabian Sea washes the state's beaches, which are the most visited in the nation. Every beach has a distinctive kind of sand. Palolem and Anjuna beaches, for instance, are renowned for their white sand, Kolwa beaches for their silver sand, and Arambol beaches for their vivid yellow sand that gleams in the sunlight like gold.

 

The sand on the majority of the other beaches is fine and light. Vagator Beach provides the chance to dance to the beats of the well-known Goa trance all night long, while Calangute, dubbed "the turquoise" for its remarkable hue of coastal waves, is well-known for its pop discos.

 

Mumbai offers both a beach and restaurants serving a wide range of dishes, from South Asian exoticism to European cuisine and fast food, as well as discos where Bollywood stars enjoy themselves, if you want to experience both the excitement of a big city and a beach vacation.

 

The beaches of the Bay of Bengal will appeal to people who have been to India to see the mangroves, coconut and eucalyptus forests, and who like to see national parks and reserves in addition to relaxing on the beach. Every beach in India is open to the public and free.

 

 

Excursions

In India's capital, Delhi, there are a lot of fascinating excursions. The city is home to numerous historical landmarks and architectural wonders, including beautiful arches, abandoned strongholds, and old royal complexes. Numerous churches of different faiths may be found in Delhi, including a Hindu temple and a Muslim mosque with minarets and a cross-shaped dome.

 

The capital is also the location of several mausoleums, which include sultan tombs, saints' shrines, and monuments honoring J. Nehru and Indira Gandhi. The Great Fort, the Mughal capital of Agra, with its expansive palace, park, and temple complex, the renowned Taj Mahal, the Pearl Mosque, opulent tombs, and a stunning water park, is a fascinating place to explore.

 

The Majestic Fortress of Agra

 

The holy city of Mathura, where Krishna is said to have been born, is a stop on the route from Delhi to Agra. Travelers often take the Golden Triangle tour, which covers Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Mathura, Fatehpur Sikri, and Vrindavan. Another intriguing destination is the Ellora Caves, a collection of 34 rock-cut caverns devoted to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.

 

Kerala, a state in the southwest of the Indian subcontinent, is well-known for its stunning beaches, canals, palaces, and temples. The Dutch Palace Museum, which houses the St. Francis Cathedral and the oldest synagogue, is located there.

 

Traveling to the Himalayas, which are home to communities of Buddhist monks, will leave visitors with unique sensations. Many people travel here to see the sacred sites and reflect alone on the mysteries of the cosmos and the meaning of life. For meditation and prayer, such seekers of truth and self-awareness should go to an ashram-abode, which can be a whole city block or a mountain cave.

 

Purchases

 

India is a wonderful place for a comprehensive shopping trip, since you can make a lot of successful purchases because costs are cheap and negotiating is always acceptable. In India, carpets are the most widely used and reasonably priced product. 


In addition, there are several premium materials available here at competitive costs, including cashmere, chiffon, brocade, cotton, wool, and silk. Silver and precious stone jewelry (pearls, sapphires, diamonds, rubies, and moonstone) are also taken by tourists.


India's delicious foods

 

Many people are aware that the use of a lot of spices and condiments is fundamental to Indian cuisine. Curry, a blend of ginger, turmeric, cardamom, and nutmeg, holds a unique place among them. The use of spices in national cuisine is regarded as a true art form and has a special meaning.

 

Particularly well-liked in India are vegetarian meals and desserts prepared with paneer (homemade cheese), yogurt, almonds, and fruits. On the seaside, seafood meals are also well-liked. The most popular side dishes are rice, chapati and puri, and dal, a type of bean.

 

One Indian food is palak paneer, which is spinach with cottage cheese.

Chocolate can be a wonderful present from a guest to the hosts because it is fairly pricey in India. The revitalizing "masala tea, "tea flavored with cardamom, cinnamon, and ginger, is the primary beverage in India. Another well-liked beverage is lassi, a yogurt-based concoction made with water, sugar, salt, spices, fruits, and ice.

 

Transportation

 

Roads in India are very narrow, and traffic is on the left. Additionally, during periods of strong traffic, cows, oxen, and even elephants may cross the highway. You can hire a motorbike rickshaw, a bicycle rickshaw, or a taxi in any city. The majority of transit options have comparatively cheap costs.

 

It's crucial to pay attention to the meter and the fare when using a cab, though. The price of transportation goes up by 1.5 to 2 times at night. Although taking the metro is preferable in the nation's capital and taking the train is the most convenient way to travel to another city, it makes sense to purchase a return ticket as soon as possible, particularly during the busiest travel times.


Currency

 

The rupee is the country's currency. The import and export of Indian rupees is prohibited. Using a currency exchange agency is the most practical way to convert dollars into local currencies. Traveler's checks and international credit cards like Visa and Mastercard are accepted at the majority of stores and eateries.


Holidays

 

India offers a vast array of holidays, many of which are worthy of consideration. Religious and state festivities are quite important. The nation celebrates August 15 as Independence Day, commemorating the day it was freed from British domination.

 

All government offices and organizations are closed on this important national holiday in India, and the majority of private businesses also give their staff members a day off. Every city and town commemorates the gaining of sovereignty with a variety of rituals and cultural activities. In the evening, hundreds of lights are ignited, and flags are used to decorate the streets.

 

One of India's biggest national holidays is Republic Day. It is observed on January 26 of each year. The capital city's celebrations are especially opulent and patriotic. Officially, Republic Day is a public holiday. On this day, hundreds of thousands of people travel to see relatives and acquaintances.

 

Hindus celebrate Ramanavami, which marks the birth of Lord Rama. In India, Navaratri is one of the biggest and most elaborate celebrations. It is observed for nine days and three times a year. The Cobra Festival is among the most vibrant and spectacular celebrations on the planet. It happens in July and August, when these icy animals come out of their underground lairs. A deity who wears live snakes as necklaces is honored at the celebration.

 

Security measures

 

Drinking raw water, rinsing your mouth with it, or purchasing chilled beverages on the street are all discouraged in India. Additionally, raw vegetable salads and dairy products (such as ice cream) manufactured from unpasteurized milk should be avoided. Avoid swimming as much as possible in nearby lakes, rivers, and ponds.

 

It is best to keep valuables in the hotel safe and to pay special attention to items while in transit because pocket theft and luggage theft are widespread in India. Avoiding contact with animals is also advised. Any cuts, even minor scrapes, need to be cleaned right away.

 

Recommendations

 

It is customary to approach all structures, religious buildings in particular, from the left. Additionally, before you enter, you should remove your shoes. Indian hotel sockets are not in line with European or even other state requirements. Asking the hotel personnel about the network data is preferable.

WHAT IS THE SECRET OF BIDEN’S FOREIGN POLICY ON AFRICA?

 

On the back of a flipped coin, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Barack Obama

On the back of a flipped coin, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Barack Obama


When Barack Obama was the president of the United States of America, Joe Biden was the vice president. He followed the country’s policies and constitution and inflicted the Ebola virus, a hemorrhagic fever, on three West African countries of Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone, while Africa has already been devastated by HIV, Aids, and tuberculosis.


Now Joe Biden is the 46th president of the United States of America, and her vice-president is an African woman called Kamala Harris. Since America’s foreign policy on Africa never changes, because of the continent’s rich resources, it’s necessary to ask Joe Biden what America will give to Africa, after HIV, Aids, Ebola, nodding disease, tuberculosis, and other man-made diseases.

 

It was also under the same Obama administration; Bill Gates continued to terrorize Congo with Ebola simultaneously because of the precious cobalt, under the nose of world leaders, including Belgium, without a word, while they support the lies of the criminal tagged philanthropist, and the US government that bats are responsible for the spread of the deadly disease in Congo and other neighboring countries.

 

It is a long time ago the European and American journalists started writing about Africa, and their best description for Africa is the continent which has enormous poverty, characterized by many diseases, including Aids, Ebola, and a strange disease called nodding, malaria, Burkitt’s lymphoma, and tuberculosis.

 

Hardly would one come across Africa, the continent that has diverse, rich resources that Western Europeans and American leaders for decades have terrorized by slavery, colonial brutality, Apartheid horrors, and the deliberate spread of diseases through contaminated vaccines, drugs, foods, and water.

 

Now the coin is flipped, and here comes a common African writer called Joel Savage, living in Europe, sweeping out all the lies, deceptions, hypocrisy, and the diabolical agenda that the Western European and American leaders, their journalists, and the media have hidden under the carpet for decades.

 

Unfortunately, they are not satisfied with my efforts because they consider it a threat to them and an abomination for an African writer to speak against the heinous crimes European and American leaders committed in Africa, yet the same advanced countries’ leaders call for the arrest of African leaders that they accuse of committing a crime against humanity to the International Criminal Court.

 

This shows how the world has rotten to its roots and the evil that is embedded in the brain of certain leaders to unleash pain and suffering on the weaker nations without any remorse or sympathy, because that diabolical agenda is necessary for the economies of Europe and America to survive.

 

There are so many videos on both Facebook and YouTube discussing how to kill Africans and prevent the continent from growing because Europe and America need the continent’s resources to survive. One of the videos says:

 

“For sterilization and population control, there are too many people on the planet that we need to get rid of, and in the words of Bill Gates, at least three billion people need to die.

 So we just started up in Africa, we start doing our research there, and we will eliminate first of the Africans because they are deplorable, worthless, they are not part of this world economy, so they are the right to be taken away, and surprisingly they have experimented.

Another video explains, “To this day, it remains the official policy of the American government, it is not changed, may not be implemented by Trump but remains the same but the purpose of the policy in Africa was to reduce the population, to give but not to give clean water, schooling and things like that but contraception and abortion to shrink the population because they have great mineral resources we need them.”

 

While all these videos discussing global depopulation in Africa are visible to millions around the world, it has never been an important issue for Google to take away these provocative videos that can ignite violence from YouTube; instead, the search engine company finds my articles on such issues a threat and, therefore, has declared war on them by suppressing information.

 

I find it very disturbing that European and American leaders, conscious about security, peace, and good health for their citizens, can deliberately inflict man-made diseases on other poor nations because of their resources. This diabolical agenda not only reveals how dangerous this world is but also how far politicians can kill other people to get whatever they are looking for.


While all such things are clandestinely going on, yet advanced countries’ governments are not willing to speak about them because the victims are Africans or other people from the third world. However, they must accept the responsibility for the destruction of the world today by the coronavirus. It’s their fault, and they can never hide from it. God will hold them responsible for the senseless loss of human lives.
