PROUD TO BE INDIAN

HAI EVERY ONE, TODAY I READ ONE BOOK ABOUT OUR INDIA, I LIKE TO SHARE SOME MEMORES OF OUR INDIAN HISTORY.SO I WRITE THIS ARTICAL.
Did you know that India is the largest democracy in the world, the 6th largest country in the world, one of the most ancient and living civilizations (at least 10, 000 years old!)?The official Sanskrit name for India is Bharat.

The name `India’ is derived from the River Indus, the valleys around which were the home of the early settlers. The Aryan worshippers referred to the river Indus as the Sindhu.The Persian invaders converted it into Hindu. The name `Hindustan’ combines Sindhu and Hindu and thus refers to the land of the Hindus. The largest employer in the world is the Indian railway system, employing over a million people! The World's first university was established in Takshila in 700 BC. More than 10,500 students from all over the world studied more than 60 subjects. The University of Nalanda built in the 4th century was one of the greatest achievements of ancient India in the field of education.
