I AM PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN.

India is the land of Budha. The world's largest democracy India, officially called the Republic of India (in the regional languageHindi: भारत गणराज्य Bhārat Ganarājya) is a country in Asia.
Dating from the Indus valley civilization this vast region was discovered by many through sea and land routes with vast empires which was known for its rich wealth of culture and treasures in the past. 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.
