The subcontinent of India lies in south Asia, between Pakistan, China and Nepal. To the north it is bordered by the world’s highest mountain chain, where foothill valleys cover the northernmost of the country’s 26 states. Further south, plateaus, tropical ruin forests and sandy deserts are bordered by palm fringed beaches.

Side by side with the country’s staggering topographical variations is its cultural diversity, the result of the coexistence of a number of religions as well as local tradition. Thus, the towering temples of south India, easily identifiable by their ornately sculptured surface, are associated with a great many crafts and performing arts of the region.

Mumbai as a city must look to a progressive future


Mumbai as a city must look to a progressive future

Homosexuality was only decriminalised last year in India, so it is natural that some old ways of thinking will linger, but the recent discrimination against a transgender individual in the city is an ugly reminder of the work yet to be done.

Mumbai is a massive city of over 11 million people, it is the capital of the world’s largest democracy, and is home to a cosmopolitan mix of people from all over the country and the world.
