Religion in India means the Great Path. It does not imply a narrow view of life. It covers all the phases of an individual's life and enables him to attain liberation por removing his ignorance. The Indian view of life has four ends, witch include the practice of virtue, acquisition of wealth, sensuous pleasures and salvation, witch is freedom from want and desire. This view of life is fully reflected in Indian art. A perfect fusion of religion and art is a real experience in India.
India is not an Asian country-nor are its people.
India may be physically part of the Asian continent but as I said again: Indian's are not Asians and so's not there country.
Let me get this straight.
India is just India-that simple.
The people who decided that "oh-India is part of the Asian continent, so therefore its an Asian country" were the british and they are WRONG (see I don't even give the word "british" a capital, 'cause I hated it how they treated the Indians there in those days)
India is part of the Persian gulf NOT Asian.
Plus half the people that live in India are not even Indians!
They are either Portuguese, Spanish or British origin!
'Cause in those, those days, India was a rich, popular country and people from europa used to settle down there in India.
The only real native Indians are Sri Lankan's!
Lastly: If you ever thought that India was an Asian country: Think again.
Seeya and I hope that clears it!
