- India is undoubtedly one of the most interesting countries in the world. For outsiders, it’s a country of mystery, with an exotic culture and tradition of ancient wisdom we never encounter at home. It strikes us with its contrasts. It’s a place full of odd customs and curiosities. Bright Side gathered 12 amazing facts about this country of spices that will show India from a completely different side.
I bet you never thought that India is the birthplace of all plastic surgery! Yup, among India’s most sacred texts, there’s one that baffles surgeons and medical experts to this day. It was written by the ancient Indian surgeon Sushruta somewhere between 1000 BCE and 500 BCE. The text describes tons of unbelievably complex surgical procedures! Can you imagine that?

SUMMARY:
- India is one of the largest English-speaking countries in the world, second only to the US. But in a country with around 880 spoken languages, only 22 of which are even officially recognized, it’s no wonder Indian English may sometimes tickle your ear in a strange way.
- In India, when two loving hearts decide to marry each other, the groom must put a wedding ring on his bride’s… toe? Yep, that’s the custom! These wedding rings are called “bichiya,” and every bride wears them on both her second toes as a sign of her newly married state.
- Most people in India believe that a spoken word has immense power within it. And if you break a promise, you’ll enrage spirits and deities.
- India’s Bollywood is the largest film industry in the world. It produces about 1,200 films every year - that’s twice the amount that Hollywood puts out.
- If you ever go to the village of Anandapally after harvest season, then you might be able to watch some bull surfing! Can you imagine riding on a board with the power of two oxen in your hands?!
- The original word “champu” means “massage” and was initially used to describe the process of hair strengthening with herbs common in India.
- India gets a lot of criticism for its pollution problem, which there’s no denying that it’s a serious one. But that doesn’t say anything about Indian people’s attitude towards wildlife. There are 104 national parks in India, with over 15,000 square miles of overall coverage.
- India is not only home to rare wildlife species, but some uncommon ideologies too. One of them is Zoroastrianism. Zoroastrians believe fire and earth to be sacred fundamental elements, so it’s really undesirable for them to bury or cremate their departed.
- Indian has the fourth largest railway system in the world, with almost 42,000 miles of track overall. But if you want to keep a pleasant impression of this country in your heart, then you might wanna avoid trains at all costs.
- “The Most Beautiful Indian Elephant” contest happens each year on the full moon between February and March, and this pageant is a key part of Jaipur’s famous Elephant Festival. Nowhere else in the whole world are these gorgeous giants celebrated like they are here.

☺️
Aarrrrrmmmyyyyyyyyyyys are everywhere
u should it's a very beautiful country-
as an Indian I do give you the advice to visit goa it has very beautiful beaches and forts and they are not polluted
I mean they are thousands of other monuments in India, but goa is a place most people don't talk about. And also do visit Karnataka, and other places in south india, alot of people dont visit south india but its a great place to visit.
And if you go to Kolkata in West Bengal you would really want to go to the eco-park, its soo big that you cant even visit in one day and its free
my grand parents live there so i go there to visit them almost every year so i go to eco park and there is something new every year i can't even tell you every thing there so much like butterfly gardens, a copy of the seven wonders, paddle boats, etc
I am talking about the thing that people usually don't talk about but i am sure you won't want to miss out on
and btw i typed this from my laptop and nothing from the internet
YOU have golden heart:)

Absolutely!
1. Wedding rings aren't worn on toes. Toe rings are worn on toes. Reason : it stimulates the accupressure point associated with fertility and a healthy reproductive system, and also signifies marriage
2. The first Indian movie by Dadasaheb Phalke came out in 1913
Need a fact check here!
I agree
Hi indians love Ur country but not the majority of indians
I agree
agreed
Also it's a sign of a married lady and also important for acupressure points

did you also knew that '0' was invented in India. The value of pi was founded in India. Srinivas Ramanujan, who is one of the greatest mathematician in the world belongs to India. India is the 1st country who told that earth is round and it revolves around the sun. NASA took years to find out the distance between earth and sun, but in hanuman chalisa (one of the literary works of tulsidas an Indian poet of 15th century) tells the exact distance between sun and earth. In vedas, cure to many diseases are given.
India is a great country, but it's greatness didn't came out in front of the world because of invasion of Britishers and other rulers. This was also because India was the richest nation in the world at that time.

One strange thing which u clearly missed is..we indians touch feet of our elders,our parents, our grand parents,our in laws, our teachers,our Guru's etc as a gesture of respect and asking for blessings from them,we touch their feet and they in return touch our head as a gesture of pouring blessings to us.
But the elders and teachers are more cautious and avoiding these things. Because we are now pulling their legs pretending that we just touching for their blessings 😹😹
You are right yaar
Thats not weird thats just having respect

No they don't wear their wedding rings in toes.... They are just ordinary rings specially designed for toes..
Toe rings are weared by women after marriage as second toe finger nerve connects to ovaries for healthy birth cycle.
That is also not valid in all the cultures you see in India... Many of them don't have toe rings involved at all ...

Putting ring is not done in every state ..I am an India and a malayali .so in Kerala we don't put ring the toe..It is mostly done in Tamil Nadu and other north states
Man in India tollywood is no-1 man 🔥🔥🔥🔥
India is not only North india
India have a vast variety of culture that one cannot mention it all in a video
Exactly what i wanted to say..
Was going to say the same thing.. North India is overhyped even tho South India is far better than North. Most tourists visit North India and think that's India. The only food they know is Naan and Butter chicken. Only places they know is Delhi, Rajasthan, Jaipur etc.
@@gotthisusername don't compare between southern India & northen India. Each part of the nation is beautiful and different from other. Comparison is not a good idea
@@raghavsingh540 Please enlighten me how North is better than South with facts. I am eager to learn.
India has great contributions in the field of Calculus, Trigonometry, and Algebra too.

2. Indian housewives hold 11% of world's gold. that's more then reserve of USA,IMF,Gemany and Switzerland combined.
3. India is at second place billionaires.
4. At an estimated, 25% of total workforce of the world population will be from India by 2020. this would making as the best economy in the world.
