India
"Indians are the Italians of Asia and vice versa. Every man in both countries is a singer when he is happy, and every woman is a dancer when she walks to the shop at the corner. For them, food is the music inside the body and music is the food inside the heart."
- – Gregory David Roberts
Bhārat Gaṇarājya, known officially as Republic of India or just India, is a nation and a subcontinent of Asia. Being the world's second most populous country, the seventh largest one and the biggest democracy on the planet, it also possesses culture and history that spans millennia and is currently the only major country where polytheism of old not only survives but thrives in modern day. It is also arguably a sort of a melting pot and a crossroads of Asia - having vast persian and islamic countries to the west and China and others to the east, it naturally was influenced and influenced it's neighbours culturally and religiously (being the land where Buddhism was born after all).
