I used to live in India, almost one year in Karnataka. It is among the best experiences in my life and I came back to Europe as a new person. One thing that was specially interesting for me was how people identify themselves.

For example, India is so diverse, much more diverse than Europe. In Europe it is hard to find a street with different religious objects on a 200 meters line. And how I understand, most people do not feel as Indians in their everyday lives but mostly if it is about something "externally" as when one is watching a cricket match between India and Pakistan of if a Indian meets somebody from USA or Europe.

Another thing I find interesting is regarding the constitution. It says that India is a socialist republic. So how can a party as BJP be in power when their ideology is not based on socialism and secularism? A similar can be said about the Congress party when it comes to economic policies.
