Within the continent of Asia lies the seventh largest country in the world with a whopping 3.28 million square feet – India. Rajasthan is the largest of twenty-nine states within India, located between Pakistan, Gujarat and Punjab. In contrast Goa is the smallest state within. It is found in the southwest part of the country. Gujarat, which is positioned on the utmost west of India, is the most populated state. Three bodies of water surround this large land: the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean. The land itself is covered in geographical wonders. Including a wide range of mountains in the north – no pun intended. On the border of Nepal and China lies the world’s highest mountain, Mount Everest. Along with that record India also holds one for having the highest mountain range earth, the Himalayas.
Having such a vast area it is no surprise that India also has the second greatest population in a country right behind China. The broad density of India, determined by dividing the total number of people inhibiting the area by that actual area. The population’s broad density in this case would be 950 people per square mile. To put that into perspective the US’s broad density is 85 people per square unit – which is nothing compared to the population concentration of people in India. The population of India is broken down into seven territories. In turn creating an incredibly diverse nation. According to India’s census data, “There are six major religions in India. India’s constitution recognized twenty-two different languages.” The life expectancy here is about 66.8 years. Only about 5.5% of elders live beyond the age of sixty-five. Mohandas Gandhi fought through decades of defiance till Britain eventually accepted Indian independence. Prior to that self-rule was promised in the midst of World War II. However after proceeding the war negotiations between the British, Gandhi and the Muslim league were delayed over deciding to partition India along religious lines. Lord Mountbatten eventually imparted a compromise plan. The former Mogul Empire was separated into the two independent nations of Pakistan and India in 1947. This unfortunately caused religious controversy between the Muslims and Hindus. Hundreds of lives were lost as a result, including Gandhi’s, who was killed by a Hindu extremist in 1948. Upon Gandhi’s death the Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru was quoted saying, “The light has gone out of our lives, and there is darkness everywhere.” Nehru continues to persevere in the battle to fight for independence. The Indian Constitution took effect on January 26, 1950. When this happened the Republic of India became the most heavily population democracy. Prime Minister Narendra Modi heads the current government in India. This is expected to be much better than the previous governments, and bring India’s standings up as an investment destination. The economic freedom in India has been steady for nearly five years. Under Modi’s administration structural adjustments have been taken that focus on improving the inefficient government sector, the management of public finance and business environments. The economy of India is expected to grow, seeing that the majority of the population now is of the younger generation. With any region, there is corruption in many areas in India. India’s education system can be known as the 10+2 system. …show more content…
This is an inflexible structure that is observed country wide, in all states and territories. Primary school consists of first to fifth grade. Middle school is fifth to eighth grade. Secondary school is Ninth to tenth grade and higher secondary school is eleventh and twelfth grade, which can also be referred to as pre-university. Then to continue an education it is similar to the US, you have undergraduate and postgraduate school. Majority of the schools in India are run and funded by the government. Regardless the public education system in India is unfavorable due to the lack of competent infrastructure, inadequate funding, and a deficit of qualified teachers. In lieu of sending their kids to public schools, parents strive to send their kids to private schools. Sadly, the privilege of receiving a better education is affected my student’s caste or religion. Those who are less fortunate will not have the same opportunities as someone higher in the caste ladder. A practice that should have been left for the history book is unfortunately still taking
