Tourism  
India, with all its variety, feels more like a series of countries strung together than a cohesive whole. As you move from region to region, you'll be exposed to dramatic changes in cuisine, dress, language, religion, custom and tradition.

Tensions raised over translocation plans for Asiatic lions


Tensions raised over translocation plans for Asiatic lions

In the tranquil wilderness of the Gir forest sanctuary one would never think a political storm was raging over a proposal to move some of the endangered lions that inhabit the reserve.
