India is on the bucket list for many travellers, and it’s no mystery why! The diverse landscape, colorful festivals, and spicy-hot cuisine are already reasons enough to pack your bags to visit Mumbai or Varanasi.
Whether you’ve been to India before or are just fascinated with this country, here are 10 interesting facts about India that might surprise you.
India was an island more than 💯 million yrs ago
Did you know that India used to be an island more than 100 million years ago? About 50 million years ago, it collided with the Asian continent and thus was born the Himalayas. Fascinating, isn't it? With over a billion people from all kinds of religions and ethnicities, India is not only the second most populated country, but it also has in store some mind-blowing facts and achievements under its belt.
A village with no locks and doors..may be the safest on earth!
The village of Shani Shingnapur is famous for not having a door or lock on a single house. Beyond that, there has not been a recording of a criminal act for almost 400 years.
Many people think that the shared vulnerability has created a neighborly trust between the residents, which has formed a protection stronger than a deadbolt or heavy gate
Bandra - worli sea link has steel wires equal to Earth's circumference
The steel wires in the Bandra Worli Sealink could stretch around the world.
Completed in 2010, the incredible Bandra Worli Sealink bridge required 90,000 tons of cement to build. To hold that all up, enormous steel cables – each with the ability to hold up 900 tons of weight – were put in place along the bridge.
If they were laid out end to end, the cables could reach around the circumference of the globe.
In some places in india coke and pepsi are used as pesticides.
In the Chattisgarh state of India, which is one of the world’s largest rice-producing areas, farmers began to spray their fields with Coke and Pepsi products, since it was cheaper than traditional pesticides and seemed to work just as well.
On looking more closely at this method, it’s thought that the sweet syrups attract ants to the field, which eat the eggs and larva of insects that commonly destroy crops.
The kumbh mela is even visible from the space!
The Kumbh Mela is an important festival and pilgrimage site, and the largest gathering on Earth. While a celebration takes place each year, there is a festival of greater significance at four-year and twelve-year intervals.
The number of people attending the festival is so large that the crowd is visible in satellite photos taken from space.
Frogs are married off!!!
Speaking of marriage, frogs are married in India! Well, at least in Varanasi. Varanasi goes back to its old traditional beliefs and rituals, so when the rains are delayed, the frogs there are caught and married to each other to please the rain gods.
The Amritsar golden temple serves free meals...for thousands 🙏
The Amritsar Golden Temple is one of the most dazzling architectural monuments in India, but it is also a site of generosity and compassion. This Sikh temple is open to people of all religions.
India is the second largest English speaking nation..
Second, only to the US, India has around 10% of its population fluent in English. This statistic is expected to quadruple in the next decade.
Voting poll booth set up for just ONE voter in Gujarat
India's most privileged voter, Mahant Bharatdas, resides in a small hamlet called Banej in the middle of Gir Forest, Gujarat. The setting up of a particular polling booth for just one voter goes a long way in speaking decibels about the democratic spirit of the country.
Land of many 'firsts'
A lott of objects and concepts originated in India starting from the game of snakes and ladders to chess a.k.a Chaturanga, buttons, shampooing, the number pi, diamond mining, zero, algebra, trigonometry along with the finding of the presence of water on the moon.
