It is an enormous (almost 11 times greater than Italy) nation, but despite this states greater than India exist, but none of them possesses the variety of races, of religions, of languages and of cultures of India and this almost inevitably produces conflicts or ethnic and religious rivalry.
It is a very beautiful nation, reserved to people from the open mind and from the hard heart, because the things, the events, the people, the rites, the illnesses, the poverty, the lack of hygiene, the promiscuity, that you can live in India, can't not to strike and often to mark forever the careful traveller and the sensitive man. However it is undoubtedly a nation to visit and to live, also only for the colors, the odors, the perfumes, the histories and the legends.
It is a nation to be understood for its rites and ritual, for its philosophy and its thousand religions, for the work of Gandhi and of Mother Teresa.
It is a nation to be appreciated without hurry for its mountains and its rivers, for its architectures and its cities: Sour, Varanasi, Delhi, Jaipur, Udaipur, Mumbai, Gwalior, Orcha, Jasalmer. It is a nation where to melt of emotion in front of the white shine of the Taj Mahal, even in a starry night (there is no illumination), for the endless beauty of the monument and for the yearning melody of the love story that has produced him.
