India Country File!

 This is basically everything about India.

LOCATION

India borders three seas, the bay of Bengal to the east, Indian Ocean to the south and Arabian Sea to the west. India is in South Asia. The Tropic of cancer runs through the Northern part of India going half-way through Bangladesh. The Himalayas run through the North-eastern part of the country nearby Nepal renowned for its odd flag. South-east Asia lies (ironically) south-east of India while the Middle east is north-west or west of Arabia.


FOOD
Indian food consists of lots of carbs, vegetables and protein.There's Dal which is a chickpea soup, biriyani a special with rice made yellow and spices and vegetables and can be served with meat or vegetables. There's also Tandoori Chicken which is a chicken dried in spices called tandoori. Paneer is a type of cottage cheese used in a majority of Indian dishes.In South India there is something called Dhosa and it's this really crispy rice dish sort of like a pancake that you can eat with chutneys or sambar which is a vegetable soup that is quite tangy.

LANDMARKS

There are hundreds of landmarks in India such as the Taj Mahal which is a wonder of the world with it's four minarets and the massive dome.There's also Amber Palace which is this massive 16th century fort just north-east of Jaipur.The Chhatrapathi Shivaji Maharaj Terminus is a massive train station synonmous with Mumbai, a city on the west coast of India which is a Victorian train station. The Gateway of India is a massive archway built in the 20th century just outside of Mumbai as it marks where the the last British troops left India in 1948 and overlooks the Arabian Sea.

History

Indian History is very large so I'll start from the Medevial Period.Many kingdoms such as the Palas & Rashtrakutas took over.Then the Rise of Islam happened and then the Dehli Sultunate arrived until the takeover of the Mughals until 1857 when Europeans and Sikhs in the north started taking over India.Then the war of Indian Independence happened the the Indian Congress, the Muslim League and several movements to gain rights. Then the Partition of India happened and the country started developing. Then India and Pakistan fought some wars and Bangladesh was formed.
