INDIA - Millennium Destination
The golden bird of the yesteryears has a rich and glorious history which goes back to five thousand years. It has been a conglomeration of various cultures and is replete with heritage that the Hindu Kings , the Moghuls and the British have left behind. Anybody visiting the places in India would find discovery of these heritage interesting which dates back before Christ , the times of the Great Kings like Ashoka , the advent of Buddhism ( it was generated out of Hindu Religion by Lord Buddha and his sermons contained a few doctrines which mainly said that all humans are equal unlike Hinduism which divided people by their caste ). Buddhism greatly influenced people all over Asia and China during those days. A part of this rich heritage was destroyed when the Moghuls came in. Great Moghul Emperors viz.,Akbar ruled and their dynasty left a fascinating mark of their art and culture in India only to be followed by the British Raj and then came the transition to modern India of Gandhi and Nehru. The chequered fortunes left behind are reflected in the infinite variety of its monuments- forts, palaces, temples and mausolea.
Noted British Historian, Parcival Spear who studied the Moghul and British regimes in India,said : "Placing the Moghul period beside the British reveals that India had its going political concerns as viable as that of the British in India, there has been an organic connection between the two. British India was deeply indebted to Moghul India on the one hand and Moghul India was a characteristic Indian entity on the other in a way not realized by any other regime during the previous thousand years".
