hi biman, i am Indian, WATCH OUT WORLD! THIS IS MY INDIA Very often the world coems across the word INDIA, but it's not any just word, it's my country, my motherland INDIA. INDIA got its name from the Persian who called it the land of the Indus, the river which flows in the area through which Persians entered INDIA. Even though INDIA has its glorious past it is striving hard at its present. Yet do not worry as its high hopes will bring the secure future to it and its citizens. INDIA has very good potential. Being the 7th Largest country, it has ample resources. INDIA has great diversity in its physical features, climate, culture, language etc., Unity In Diversity is the tradition of the people of my country INDIA. INDIA is the land of many intellectual persons like SWAMI VIVEKANANDA, MAHAVIR SWAMI, SUBASH CHANDRA BOSE, SARDAR PATEL, BHAGWAT SINGH, NEHRU and many other National Hero's who fought for the country's Independence in 1947. Ofcourse, the Great Indian Bapu, MAHATMA GANDHI brought INDIA Independence giving the world the principle of TRUTH AND NON-VIOLENCE. INDIA'S first Prime Minister JAWARHAR LAL NEHRU who gave the word principle of PANCHASHEEL for the country to maintain foriegn policy. INDIA'S tri colour flag has its own significance. saffron at the top of courage, white in middle of peace, green at the bottom of greenary, at the centre blue colour wheel with 24 spoke signifies equal opportunities to all citizens.. Today INDIA is an underdeveloped country, but its rate of development is very fast. Recently it has been awarded as the 3rd largest growing economy. In the field of Science, INDIA made tremendous progress in developing nuclear missiles, space rockets , more with the development of Silicon Valley in Bangalore it has became a I.T hub. India is a member of various International Organizations like UN, WTO etc., Above all ! I BOW MY COUNTRY WHERE THE WORLD'S LARGEST DEMOCRACY SURVIVES, WHERE THE PEOPLE FEEL SECURE FOR THEIR LIVES AND PROPERTY..

Don't forget that we are the oldest civilization, older than Eygpt. The original name of our country is 'Bharat'. India and Hindustan are names given by others. Hinduism and Buddhism originated from here. The first country to have religion, university, astronomy, astrology and many other things I don't know of. The best country when it comes to manners and culture. That is what is best about our country. We can learn, how to become better humans, how to lead ones life etc. One can learn unlimited amount of information from India. I am glad to be born here.

Well I'm from the island of Jamaica in the caribbean and we are special for many reasons but mostly because of our culture;reggae and dancehall music. Home of Bob Marley and other great musicians and the sunshine, beaches but most of all the people. Our motto is "out of many one people",because we have people who are from so many different backgrounds chinese, blacks, indian, we all look different and yet we are all jamaicans.

Hi biman, what's special about Greece, lets see. We invented democaracy and the olympic games. Most English words derive from the Greek language. We have a rich and interesting history and many famous figures in the past, such as Aristotle, Socrates, Plato, Alexander the Great. Greece fought of invaders and survived under extreme adversity. We are the land of the olive.

Hey biman!I come from a country next to yours,China.China and India are two of the biggest developing countries in the world.WE often compared with each other.But in my mind,I love India for his ancient and misterious culture,It has a great attraction to me.But in China,a great number of ancient culture site have been destroyed,I feel very sorry for it. We Chinese people advocated harmonious between human and nature,and everything.Traditional Chinese stick to "The Doctrine of the mean",that means they often avoid to be stand out and tend to keep quiet in the crowd.We love peace and had never invaded other countries. But nowadays,the 80s and 90s Chinese young man are greatly influenced by the western culture,and becoming more passionate/creative and open. The old Chinese are just like our national treasure---Panda,a gentle,herbivore animal.But the young Chinese are like our Olympic Mascot"Fuwa",positive,open-minded,and international. Aha... I 've no idea that I said so many words.Hoping it will help you to know more about China.By the way,I really want to travel around India in about 5 years... Happy mylotting! Windflower

I love my country!! Malaysia is a multi-racial country. Even though we have so many different races in our country, we are able to live harmoniously and peacefully. We celebrate all kinds of festivals together. And Malaysia offers a wide variety of good food too!

Well over here in America there are plenty of things that are special. Like the different cultures. In our country you can find at least a thousand people of every different country. Only in the heartland of America are the people truly "Americans" Over here in New York there are plently of italians. In California there are plenty of Latinos. Our culture is as different as the people inhabiting America

The amount of history that our country, India has is what makes it special. Also the number of festivals we celebrate and their meaning makes our country fascinating to know about.
