To know about the complex cultures of the Indian people, their languages and dialects, their rituals and traditions and to feel her magic or be touched by her spirituality, or join in her celebrations, you have to be in India. If I were to describe what is wonderful and special about travel in India I would say: it's safe, it has an intact culture, it's exotic, it has gorgeous, luxurious and historic places to stay and visit, you can speak English everywhere, it's very safe for women, it is the world's largest democracy, it's pluralistic and amazingly beautiful.
