Basia's Adventure in India

India Country of Extremes
It is believed that India is one of the oldest and richest civilizations in the world.
The Indus valley civilization flourished in the region of the Indus valley, areas what today is northeast Afghanistan to Pakistan and northwest India.
Along with Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, it was one of the three the most widespread, covering 1.25 million km2. Entire populations of people were settled around the basins of the Indus River and Ghaggar-Hakra River (or the Harap) which once used to course through northeast India and eastern Pakistan.
The Ancient Indians have taught us yoga, meditation and complementary medicines.
They also have furthered our knowledge of science, math – and invented Chaturanga, which became the game of chess.
Albert Einstein said: "We own a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made." Indians invented the numbers 1-9 and ‘zero’, without which there would be no computers or digital age. Unfairly today we call this system of counting Arabic numbers.
Two thousand years ago the Indians initiated plastic surgery, reconstructing the noses and ears on the faces of people who had been disfigured through punishment or warfare. They performed eye operations such as cataract removal and invented vaccination to protect their population from Smallpox, saving thousands of lives.
Ancient Indians knew how to live with nature. They taught us: 
God is in all living things. 
Don't disrespect anybody. 
Respect all living things. 
Respect nature. 
Live and let live. 
Respect all religions. 
In one way or other all path leads to the same god.
