What do you think about India

Not on my radar screen. My brain runneth over.

I like how their culture seems more more interested in developing brainpower than firepower. And the way they don't discourage women from acting like empowered human beings with the same potential and rights as men. Oh, and their food. I like their food.

They are far too over-populated. Much more peaceful that most of the world. I don't care for Curry foods but some of their food is good - not my fav by a long shot. Some areas are not the most hospital natural environments to be in. Good rock and gem hunting opportunities.

Frankly, I don't know any Indians other than online, but several that I know online are pretty kewl people - intelligent and well humored.

Sorry - that's all I got.

There's a whole bunch of them over there and no one can tell them what to do so I have to take my hat off them for that.


I hear they're working on their cast system, maybe in another 25-30 years the seriously poor over there won't be so in numbers and depth of poverty and I love their curry chicken.

I've worked with a number of them and have to say most of the ones I know over here in the USA aren't the nicest of people since many of them actually believe in that caste system crap.

I'm not interested in visiting.

I love India and many of the people that I've met there. There are so many different languages/ dialects/ and different cultures that traveling there was a real eye-opening experience. There were some people, though, that flat out scared the crap out of me, but overall most of the people were kind and welcoming.

I remember boarding on a train with one of my guides and it took two translators to get directions to where we were going. I realized that not everyone in India speaks English and that the languages that are there are very diverse.

I traveled through a place called Naga and many of the people there looked Chinese, not Indian. But we were in the northern part of India. The people there were so friendly and the food was absolutely amazing. I loved it so much there I almost decided to live there for awhile.

The diversity and wide variety of Indian food blew my mind too.

That was over 15 years ago though and I hear that it's more dangerous for Americans to travel there now (certain parts).

Lots of high dollar gems for sale in Singapore...not many places left to scout for gems though. Singapore reminded me of a giant ultra-modern shopping mall and it was a very expensive place to visit. Was it my favorite place to visit? Nope. I much preferred Australia and then probably Africa and the Philippines. I also hit Japan which I did not find to be a ton of fun.

As far as the Maldives go, that country making the list as one of the most densely populated is a bit deceptive because the Maldives is an island chain of 1,190 islands, and only a little over 200 of the islands are inhabited, and only 5 islands have a population of more than 3,000. Over 1/3 of the inhabitants live on the island of Male, which is capital city and it is VERY densely populated.

The Maldives is one of the most beautiful places on earth, and when I was there you could basically have an island all to yourself if you wanted it.

In-fact they will lease some of the islands long term, and I understand now foreigners can purchase some of the islands. But to lease or purchase you must make a significant contribution to the country's economy.









About the only real threat to the Maldives (besides possible radicals or monster tsunamis) are the rising seas...if the sea level rises roughly 23 inches by 2100 they may be forced to abandon their own islands. They are considering a land purchase in India just incase one day they are forced from their own country by the rising seas.

Again, this is one of the most remote and beautiful places in the world and few who visit are disappointed. If you don't want to see people, you won't see people. Yes, if you stay at one of the world class resorts you will see a few people and get to do some very cool things. Not exactly overpopulation though.

One of the other countries I would love to visit on that list is the Netherlands. A few others that I would like to see on the list are Monaco, Israel, Bahrain and some of those popular island destinations.

I really dont know who came to India 1500 BC... i am weak in history.

You are fast at researching Alexa.. Link seems to be informative and as said there is dispute that if "Aryans came from outside or they were from India"

Vedic time was very ancient though. Very informative. Very Scientific. Even Nasa and a lot of scientist admire that.

I like how Indian elephants' ears are shaped like India and the ears of African elephants are shaped like Africa. I don't like that Claude eats elephant dung and doesn't care if it's from African or Indian elephants.

Love the feedback. Keep it coming.

As engineers and scientists, they are just as good as westerners.

Richard Nixon has commented that the 21st century will be a match between Indian socialist democracy, and socialism with chinese characteristics.

India doesn't have the guts to kill union leaders like the People's Republic of China and so it will always lag somehow behind the PRC in terms of efficiency.

India has killed bad leaders via democratic system already.

Don - beautiful pics. Those mountains are beautiful, but I imagine there's little public property. That's the same as the NE of the US - beautiful scenery but most of it has been grabbed by the gov and is "park system" or it's privately owned. It's rough to find places to hunt stone out there, and much is fee digging. If you like days of roaming with little traffic, you have to go west.

Have several affiliates in India, and I only wish my entire downline was from India. They follow directions to a T. No excuses. Just performance.

Thsi is how theyr ride trains in India.

Most of west think as if elephants are roaming in streets in India. You will have to find some City and then some place to see elephant.

efforts must be made to retain highly skilled indians in india

we dont want them here
