My country "India" (brief)

Every human being who takes birth in this world belongs to some country. We as species are same but depending upon the geographical area, we belong to a particular country. Each country is divided with help of geographical boundaries decided by us which forms a particular country. All of us love our country and i too love mine INDIA. India is different from other countries of world. It has rich cultural heritage, natural flora and fauna and importantly peoples of different religion live together with happiness and brotherhood. It has glorified past and cultural heritage.
Indian history is divide into three different periods -ancient, medieval and modern history. Ancient civilization has Indus valley civilization, origin of different religion like Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism. These religions influence other part of the world also like Buddhism which spreads to Mongolia, China, Sri-Lanka and other East Asian countries like Thailand and Burma. In medieval India, India past was glorified by culture, different art forms like dance and music of kingdoms of mughals, Sikhs and Rajputs etc. Taj Mahal, one of the seven wonders of the worlds was also built in this period. It was built by Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal. It was built with white marbles with gold and precious stones embedded into it. Because of this rich culture heritage and wealth. India was one of the centre of trade in modern India. Countries like France, British and Portuguese are interested in doing trade with it.this leads to colonial wars between these foreign countries and then with Indian rulers of that times. British was the one who occupied large area of India under colonial rule. Under British, Indian were exploited very much. Several taxes were imposed by British on Indian which leads to drainage of wealth from India to Britain.this exploitation leads to many revolts like revolt of 1857 and many national movement under leaders like Mahatma Gandhi. After years of struggle, we got our independence on 15 august 1947. India became a republic and democratic state. From then, India is on the path of economic and social development. Right now, it is counted as leader of world. It has greater say on international platforms and developing countries looks towards it for leadership like in non alignment movement during cold war. In 21 st century, when world economic is under recession, Indian economy is not effected by global recession and again world looks towards it for revival of world economy.
