Power Sharing in Indian Democracy
“If we were to look over the whole world to fine out the country most richly endowed with all the wealth, power and beauty that nature can bestow-in some parts a very paradise on earth-I should point to India”. ~ Max Mueller
What Max Mueller said is indeed true. Crowned by the Himalayas on top and vast seas surrounding its peninsula, India is quite distinct on the world map.
The Himalayas enveloped all the beauty with in itself, giving rise to the mighty rivers-Indus, Ganga and Yamuna and their tributaries, spreading over the land like arteries, providing life blood to the species while in the Deccan plateau and South, the Narmada, Krishna, Godavari Cauvery, sucked water from the vast seas and drenched the entire land. With so much vivacity all around, life bloomed and soon the entire subcontinent was filled with rare, fragrant flowers and beautiful creatures started making it their home.
Could man be far behind? India has seen many eras blooming on her soil. Each era has left its indelible lifestyle, thinking’s, languages, tastes and the whole culture was different. From Harappa’s to Maury as, Guptas to Sultans, and Mughals to the English, India saw a metamorphosis in each era. People mixed, cultures intermingled, and each century brought a new India, influenced by all, yet retaining its old identity. So, the whole of India, was dotted it temples, mosques and churches, palaces, havelis and forts.
The biggest asset of India as a desirable tourist destination is its 5,000-year-old historical and cultural heritage. Every region in India developed a culture of its own. The culture is a wide term, which includes the languages, rituals, beliefs, festivals and tradition, given form father to son and carried on with generations.
The regional diversity is attributed to the fact that the historical roots of development of each region culturally depended much on the dynasties ruling it and also on their proximity to other cultures. This limited regional influence was

    Something I consider ‘’gold’’ is my grandpa, because he was always there for me and when I was down he gave me a big hug and helped me through the rough times I had. I lost my grandpa because of an Illness he had, he had a bad illness where he was in the hospital for most of the time and that made me very sad. I tried to hold onto him by spending a lot of time with him and taking care of him, because he liked it when I was there spending time with him. I was unsuccessful because my grandpa passed away, but I think of him everyday and in my heart I know he is here with us even through the rough times. In the poem ‘’Nothing Gold Can Stay’’ by Robert Frost, he states, “ Her hardest hue to hold “ which means you can't hold on to someone or something…

    India is a large country with 3,287,240 Sq Km in area. It is basically a peninsula, with the Arabian Sea on the West, the Bay of Bengal on the east, and the Indian Ocean to the south. The Himalayas separate India from rest of Asia and China. Indian weather conditions vary from region to region due the vastness of the country (US Department of State, 2010). It varies from the snows of the Himalayas to the cultivated peninsula of far South, from the deserts of the West to the humid deltas of the East, from the dry heat and cold of the Central Plateau to the cool forest foothills.…

    The issue was alcoholism and the lack of moral causing the citizens to engage in prostitution, crime, and poverty. In the first half of the 19th century, the Americans experienced a moral crusade that created a disturbance caused by the violation of the social norms that characterized the society in the early periods making them ignore the current social and economic inequality (Jansson, 2014, p. 105). This moral crusade and lost of values surged from the rapid growth of cities caused by the migration from the villages to the urban areas, the growing of the Irish and German immigrant communities, and the religious movement focused on converting Catholics American to evangelical Protestants who did not drink.…

    It seems more apt to call India a subcontinent rather than a country. Enough and more has been written and said about how it is a melting pot of various and diverse cultures and how some states rival some countries at least in terms of geographical area. India has been a miracle to the extent that we have managed to unite so many races together under a common flag and hold together for sixty long turbulent years. This has not been an easy journey and secessionist tendencies have reared its ugly head at several points of time prominent examples being Khalistan and, as rumours have it, a demand for a separate Tamil nation.…
