The Beauty of India: 50 Amazing Photos

Today we’d like to publish something completely different for a change. India, the country of mysterious paradoxes; the land where civilizations and times intermix, a mysterious place which attracts people from all over the world. In today’s showcase we are presenting a little showcase of this astonishing contrast between wealth and misery, contemporary technologies and ancient historical monuments, plenty of languages, cultures and traditions.

We present people, places, traditions, culture and a broad overview of the incredible beauty of India — something different and inspirational for a change. Please let us know if you are interested in seeing more similar posts on Smashing Magazine in the future in the comments below.

      You are right Pakistan is beautiful, but how do you care about the natural beauty of Pakistan, or how may people in the world know the beauty of Pakistan.
      If one think about Pakistan the result comes only terrorism and people bline faith about religion. Pakistan is a country where decision of government and army taken by blind religious people.
      still i say Pakistan is beautiful because its our culter that we never underestimates anyone.

    Dear friends,
    Sorry to ask but tell me why should we proud to an Indian.( I m and Indian too.)
    Just because we are staying here? Or we have born here?
    Just think about any other progressing country in the world, what picture comes first..
    The cleanliness, there streets, their discipline, their cares about hierarchical buildings, their laws and so many.
    Now forget the above pictures and think about the face of india… what comes ..
    The garbage on street, people potting at open place (not only in village but cities like Mumbai, Delhi etc too), if we talk about our discipline then just think the picture of traffic signals, our police department contains 99.99 % corrupted people, then think about our careless behavior about our hierarchical statues, buildings like taj, and all forts build by Shivaji Maharaj and others, now come to our laws where you will not get justice in time, think about Mumbai attack… if in any country in the world the government and corps would save their civilians but in Mumbai attack media and our army/ police and government were trying to save foreigners, but what about Indians.( still we says that we got freedom.)
    Laden attack on America once, but after a long effort America finds him and punish too. And what we do with terrorists Afzal Guru is still alive, Kasab will also on the same way, last three years more than 50 terrorist attacks has happened in india, how many of them got punishment.
    Just think …. And tell me why should I proud to be an INDIAN?

    My Answer to Faiza

    What do you know about islam. I am muslim too and India is my motherland and I love to born their again and again. My forefather came along with Babur the Moghul from Afghan and settled in India Rajasthan and dedicated their life to this beautiful land. And i will be grateful to my father who stayed back in India after partition coz he loved his matrabhumi. Religion is not bigger than motherland and its culture. Only Pakistani muslim (so called) tarnished the islam image and become pain in the ass of India due to their blind faith. Both nation got freedom at the same time but look where is india and where is Pakistan. Instead of developing their education and economic they start developing hatred and today result is in front of them. Islam is such a beautiful religion which teaches beautiful things not be a human bomb. So stop the wrong preaching about Islam and love India and its people. Trust me you will never regret.
