| With 700 million people, India has the largest population in the world. |
|

|
|
| Two official languages English and Hindi. |
|
|
| At least thirteen others also spoken, excluding hundreds of dialects. |
|
|
| Five major religious groups: Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, and Jainists. |
|
|
| Each group celebrates its own holidays. |
|
|
| Imagine an Indian calendar. |
|
|
| Number of holidays on it. |

|
| Such diversity has a bonus. |
