Taking from others!

Well I was reading Resh's blog and I started to want to know more about India! So I started to research the country and the thing that intrests me most-ANIMALS! But this is what I have gleened in about 20 minets of research!

India, officially the Republic of India, It is the seventh largest country by geographical area, the second most populous country, and the most populous democracy in the world. Four major world religions, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism originated there, while Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam arrived in the first millennium CE and shaped the region's diverse culture. India comes from a river named Indus and the greek called theem the people of the Indus. There govenment is mostly a sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic republic. They have a president which is the head of state for a five year term voted by electoral college plus they also have a prime minister and a parlamint! They became this way in the 1950's! The countery is devided up into 28 states and some outlying places in the ocean. Trade with India and US exceeds 308 billion in 2008! They are known for their architecture, music, dance, cuisine and theatre! Their poplulation is estimated at 79,357,992!!! Here are some pics that I found interesting! They have some of the worlds most intersting animals and paintings!

This is the kinda a architecture they have! This is henna tattooing!
