This is indeed India!
The land of dreams and romance, of fabulous wealth and fabulous poverty,
of splendour and rags, of palaces and hovels, of famine and pestilence,
of genii and giants and Aladdin lamps, of tigers and elephants,
the cobra and the jungle, the country of a hundred nations and a hundred tongues,
of a thousand religions and two million Gods, cradle of the human race, birthplace of human speech,
mother of history and grandmother of legends, great grandmother of tradition,
whose yesterdays bear with the moldering antiquities of the rest of the nations;
the one sole country under the sun that is endowed with an imperishable interest for alien prince and alien peasant,
for lettered and the ignorant, wise and fool, rich and poor, bound and free,
the one land that all men desire to see,
and having seen once by even a glimpse,
would not give that glimpse for the shows of all the rest of the globe combined.
- Mark Twain

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

And that has made all the difference.
