Indian Geography

India is divided into three parts – north India, south India and northeast

North India is located egoistically and geographically in the northern side of south India. The people from this region feel vehemently proud of their lighter brown color and total control of Hindi, the national language of (north) India. The area is occupied by numerous states – some healthy, some sick, some intellectual and some ‘hap without any cause’.

South India is geographically south of north India but mentally very closer to US. This region is sub-divided into four ferociously ‘competitive’ states. Once Gulf used to be the most sought after destination for all able and unable people of this region, but for the last fifteen years that is been replaced by US.

Northeast is a collage of seven small states that nobody cares including the federal government which incidentally cares only for its re-election by any means.

Indian Economy

Economically India is the only country to have gone from economical giant to absolutely undeveloped to perpetual developing. India’s next target is to become ‘superpower’ skipping the next step of being ‘developed’.

Indian Population

Indian population is strictly divided equally on each and any issue. Public opinions do not matter at all in any decision making process, still everyone gives their opinions albeit in a junk place. Under the federal constitution all people are equal but some people are more than equal namely politicians, criminals (superset of politicians), cops, relatives of cops, smart friends of relatives of cops, celebrities and men in Delhi.

Indian Language

English is the only language for claiming respect unless one is a Tamilian. Other significant languages are used by different people according to the following table:

Hindi – spoken by Rickshaw and Taxi drivers

Bengali – spoken by Pseudo-Intellectuals

Marathi – spoken by BEST bus conductors

Kannada - spoken by people from Bangalore who don't like 'outsiders'

Tamil – spoken by proud people

Telugu – spoken by all NRIs in US (Non Resident Indians)

Indian Media

India is the land of “breaking news”. Every minute one news ‘breaks’ in different news channel. Number of news channel is more than the total number of journalists in India. But all the news channel have one thing in common apart from lack of journalists and ethics - they are all ‘secular’.

Indian Social System

Indian society is vertically divided into two key issues - People who supports Saurav Ganguly and people who hates Saurav Ganguly. In other very important issue people are divided on supporting BJP (a nationalist political party) and hating BJP. There’s no scope of middle path or indifference.
