We [just] recently did a video on the whole India partition my question to you guys is how could we resolve the Kashmir dispute?
Without resorting to violence. Let me know your thoughts down there and let's get to it
Now India is a very interesting
country for its imports and exports
And we've talked about those import exports before but one thing you might not know is that India Grows
Approximately 1.2 million tons of mangoes every single year and if you were to put that on a giant scale it would weigh 80
Thousand blue whales now we've also talked about how India is extremely populated
But India has so many people that it has a three of the world's top 10 mega cities and although the growth Rate is
shrinking in the country
It's still at a whopping [3] percent now many of you in the comments section have wanted us to talk about
India's Army now not getting into too much detail over it
It has the third biggest army in the entire world now
it is hard to say how big it [is] exactly because some sources say that it has
1.4 million active personnel with over 1 million
[155] thousand Personnel being in reserve units and one of their newest units is called the Mountain strike Corpse which is aimed to
Defend the disputed border with China in which they hope to have over 90,000 troops by
2018 or
2019 and at least according to the international institute of strategic studies
They found that India is eighth in the world when it [comes] to spending money on its military
And they spend roughly about forty five point two billion dollars on its military now on the Indian subcontinent
Nalanda is considered by some as one [of] the first great universities by over, tequila which was built around
370 BC is believed to be the remains of the oldest university in human history
Now there are a lot of arguments over this some scientists say that no
It doesn't count as a university because there's no lecture Halls and unlike Nalanda
There's no housing for its staff or students and as for an Atlanta. It was constructed back in
427 Ad and it went on [till] about
1197 Ad and it was a institution that was more devoted towards the buddhist way of life
But it's also theorized that there were students of art literature
Astronomy and politics and although scientists are still excavating the grounds they have found [eight]
Compounds ten temples classrooms meditation halls and housing for 10,000 students and 2,000 teachers
Speaking about education [India] is home to the world's largest
school the City Montessori school received not [only] a world record in 2010
but also a un [II] sco prize for Peace education in
2002 but it is the thing when I say largest schools now. I'm not talking
Universities, but I mean this school is the largest in [population] from ages [2] to 5 because they have over
39,000 400 attendees a year though kindergarteners, that's crazy
Not throughout the world we have all probably heard of a man [nedick] hill. This is [a] hill that has a strong electromagnetic
Currency that will pull a car up the hill however magnetic hill in Li ladakh is one of the most
Powerful to the point where not only cars are pulled up the hill, but [plains] also have problems flying through it now
We all know India is known for its computer
programming as mark fact they have some of the best computer programmers in the entire world and India is known for making a lot of
Supercomputers and supplying it to the world now this all began in the late
1980s because at one point there was an embargo imposed on India and that embargo stated that cray
supercomputers could not be sent to India because they could be used in development of Nuclear weapons of course that didn't stop India because by
1991 they had developed their very first supercomputer the Param
8000 and as of [late], India has stated that it wants to spend 2.5 billion dollars in the next year for supercomputer research
India's also got something that no other country has the wettest place on Earth at least the wettest
Inhabited place on the planet [the] state of Magnolia is about 70%
Rain Forest and because that it gets a lot of rain the state alone receives an average
470 inches of rain Eggless is all the way from the
Lowlands of [Garowe] Hills to the Roaring Hills of the
Shillong region and although you'll probably need an umbrella if you want to visit it looks like one beautiful place to check out
And lastly [let's] talk about gold in India because as you know goal is a huge thing. It's great
It looks fantastic people wanted on their jewelry they wanted on their clothes
Now statistics have shown that Indian housewives hold
[11%] of the world's gold reserve and when I mean world I mean world I don't mean just one country
