Sometime in 2004 I received, through one of the innumerable email forwards, most of which I generally trash even without reading, a presentation highlighting some striking facts about India. Now it's very hard to ascertain the source of the material. Nevertheless the content is really very interesting. The creator of the presentation had put lot of effort and research behind it. When I was looking forward to write something for the "India" page of my home-page I finally decided to use the same presentation. I'd to reconfirm the statistical data provided in the original presentation, which should have been created sometime in middle 2004. Also I tried my best to add neccessary details and latest updates to make the material more useful on today's date. This indeed gives a good summary of India, something that can make anyone proud.
I'd like to keep this material live. I'll keep on adding some more modules from time to time to make it really a very comprehensive and concise collection of facts and figures at a glance for India.
