Dear readers!
As I said yesterday, I will post some facts that I find interesting for you to see.
As you may know, India is located in Asia, or to be more precise, in South Asia, right beside Pakistan. Today we have been sightseeing, and I have also read some facts about India’s climate. Since I am only going to be in New Delhi, I will only experience one of the climate zones in India, and that is the subtropical. The summers here, are very hot, and the winters are cool. The lowest average temperature in India is 18.0 degrees, and that is in the alpine areas up north.
India has tropical areas, as well as completely arid areas and alpines.
For those of you who like history, India can be very exciting! There are proven that Homo Sapiens settled in India for 75.000 years ago. As you probably knew, India was colonized by many European countries, during the 16th century, like Portugal, the Netherlands and France. And by 1856 they were under British rule. India’s struggle for independence from Great Britain is an important incidence in India’s history.
During the 20th century the opposition against the British Colony grew, therefore they didn’t want to be under British rule. Mahatma Ghandi was one of the leaders in India’s fight for independence, something he is well known for. He was an Indian statesman born the 2nd of October in 1869, and died on the 30th of January 1948. But he wasn’t like other activist. The special thing about Ghandi was that he didn’t use violence to reach his goals, and he will be known for his nonviolent methods for many, many more years.
The 15th of August 1947 India finally got their independence, and today India is the world’s largest democracy.
But now it’s time for me to go to bed. Tomorrow I will be searching for some famous and sought places and tourist attractions. Good night!
