2. INDIA COUNTRY

3. INDEPENDENCEAND PARTITION:
In early 1946 , a British mission failed in the attempt to find common ground between the two
sides , and the country was found closer to civil war. A " day of direct action " , organized by the
Muslim League in August 1946 , led to the killing of Hindus in Calcutta and subsequent
retaliation against Muslims. In February 1947 the restless British government took the
momentous decision to grant independence in June 1948 . Meanwhile , Viceroy Lord Archibald
Wavell was replaced by Lord Louis Mountbatten . The new viceroy in vain urged rival factions to
accept a united India. In the end the decision to split the country, with Gandhi as the only
unconditional opponent took . Faced with escalating civil violence , Mountbatten hastily decided
to advance the independence August 15, 1947 .
The division into Hindu and Muslim territories was an extremely difficult task , and the line was
almost impossible to trace . Some areas were clear , but others had mixed populations and
communities were isolated in areas predominantly populated by other religions. In addition ,
the two regions with an overwhelming Muslim majority were at opposite ends of the country and
, therefore , inevitably Pakistan would have an eastern half and a western separated by a hostile
India. The instability of this agreement was clear , but it took 25 years before the division was
consummated and East Pakistan became Bangladesh. An independent British referee received
the odious custom of drawing the borders , well aware that their effects would be catastrophic
for a huge number of people. Decisions were filled with impossible dilemmas. Calcutta , with its
Hindu majority , port facilities and jute mills , was separated from East Bengal , which had a
Muslim majority , and jute production scale , but lacking factories and port facilities.
HISTORY

4. AFTERINDEPENDENCE:
Jawaharlal Nehru tried to lead India to a policy of non-alignment, combining cordial
relations with Britain and membership in the Commonwealth approaches to the former
USSR, in part because of conflicts with China and the U.S. support to his Pakistan's
eternal enemy . The sixties and seventies were tumultuous for the country. A border war
with China in what was then known as the North - East Frontier Area ( NEFA , now the
Northeast States ) and Ladakh, caused the loss of Aksai Chin ( Ladakh) and smaller
areas of NEFA . Moreover, wars with Pakistan in 1965 (for Kashmir) and 1971 (
Bangladesh ) encouraged many Indians the idea that there are enemies everywhere. In
the middle of all this, the hugely popular Nehru died in 1964 and his daughter Indira
Gandhi was elected prime minister in 1966. Like his father, occupied a prominent place
in the country that ruled , but unlike Nehru was a figure very controversial and its
historical legacy remains controversial . In 1975 , to meet strong opposition and popular
discontent , declared a state of emergency. Freed from the parliamentary hurdles ,
Gandhi drove the economy surprisingly well controlled inflation and increased
efficiency. On the down side , the opposition politicians were often imprisoned , the
judiciary became a farce and curtailed the press. His government was ousted from power
in elections in 1977, but returned in 1980 with a larger majority than ever , establishing
the foundations of the Nehru -Gandhi dynasty that would continue at the helm of
national politics to the present.

view of the old city. Explore Chandni Chowk, one of India's oldest and busiest markets
or head to the colorful spice market a great photo opportunity. Other options include

Akshardham Temple carved out of pink sandstone and white marble. The amazing

age-old eateries in the by lanes of the Old Walled City to glitzy, specialty restaurants in
five-star hotels, Delhi is a movable feast. Restaurants and bars cater to all tastes and
budgets. Here, the cuisine of different states is made available.

39. DAY 2: AGRA
Agra is best known as the site of India’s most famous landmark, the Taj Mahal. Enjoy a
guided visit to this icon of Mughal architecture either in the morning or late afternoon
for the best light, and be sure to bring lots of film! Constructed between 1631 and 1654
by a workforce of 22,000, the Taj Mahal was built by the Muslim Mughal Emperor Shah
Jahan as a mausoleum for his favorite wife, Arjumand Bano Begum, better known as
Mumtaz Mahal. Actually an integrated complex of many structures, the Taj Mahal is
considered the finest example of Mughal architecture, itself a combination of Islamic,
Hindu, Persian and Turkish elements. The walled palatial city of Agra Fort, was first
taken over by the Moghuls, at that time led by Akbar the Great, in the late 16th century.
However, it was only during the reign of Akbar's grandson, Shah Jahan that the site
finally took on its current state. Unlike his grandfather, Shah Jahan preferred buildings
made from white marble, often inlaid with gold or semi-precious gems, and he
destroyed some earlier buildings inside the fort in order to build others in his own style.
At the end of his life Shah Jahan was imprisoned in the fort by his son, Aurangzeb.

40. DAY3 – 4: JAIPUR
Clothed in pink stucco (in imitation of sandstone), wide - avenued Jaipur is one of the
most important heritage cities in India, and home to India’s second most visited site, the
Hawa Mahal, or Palace of the Winds. Here follow in the footsteps of the royal harem, or
ride an elephant to Amber Fort Palace, one of the most spectacular forts in India.
Founded in 1728, Jaipur, or “The Pink City” as it is often called, is unlike any other pre-
modern Indian city, in that the entire town was planned according to the principles of
Hindu architectural theory. The city is in fact built in the form of a nine-part mandala
known as the Pithapada, which combined with wide streets makes for an unusually airy,
orderly atmosphere. Built in 1799, the "Palace of Winds" was part of the City Palace, an
extension of the Zenana or chambers of the harem. Its original intention was to allow
royal ladies to observe everyday life in the street below without being seen.

41. DAY 5: TORDI SAGAR
Dive into rural life visiting
potters, cobblers and
markets. Take a camel cart
ride to the dunes for sunset,
head for a hike in the hills
or make bangles and try
henna paint with the local
women.

42. DAY 6 – 7: PUSHKAR
This morning travel to Ajmer and over Snake Mountain to Pushkar. Site of the
world’s only temple to the Hindu god of creation Brahma, Pushkar is often called
"Tirth Raj," the Raj (king) of pilgrim centres. This is the day, according to legend,
which the Hindu god Brahma sprung up the lake. The fair and livestock market
now actually go for 8 days with the final day the night of the full moon. After
settling into our accommodation, we will have an orientation walk around
Pushkar, including the lake and ghats and also the 14th century Brahama temple.
Before dawn on Day 7 we climb to the hilltop Savitri temple to watch the sunrise
over this holy place. You can even get a chai up there but after that morning walk
there is nothing better than spending time at one of the many cafes in town. All
fed and rested you might be ready to follow local traditions, and jump on a camel
and head out for a sunset camel ride in the desert.

43. DAY 8 – 10: UDAIPUR
Most famous of these palaces, and certainly the most photographed, is the Lake Palace,
an island-palace where the white marble buildings (now a hotel) entirely cover a small
island in Pichola Lake. If you can pull yourself away from the shopping, there many
points of interest, such as the Jagdish Temple, Saheliyon – Ki -Bari (the Garden of
Maidens) and City Palace with its museums, crystal gallery and wealth of royal treasures
to explore. Alternatively Udaipur's famous Lake Pichola is a serene place to enjoy a boat
ride and if you are gastronomically inclined, there is plenty of time to learn the art of
Indian cooking at Spice Box. Maybe visit a craft village and a folk museum or take in a
fantastic cultural show at the Bagore - Ki-Haveli - you might even get up and join in the
dancing! Journey out to the hilltop Monsoon Palace for sunset or you can spend lazy
afternoons just taking in the views from the rooftop cafes over hot, sweet chai.

44. DAY 11 – 12: AHMEDABAD/MUMBAI (BOMBAY)
Visit Mahatama Gandhi's ashram in Ahmedabad, national monument and site of a
museum. Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, forms the world's fifth most populous
metropolitan area when combined with its suburbs, a total population of about 20
million. The city has a deep natural harbour and the port handles over half of India's
passenger traffic and a significant amount of cargo. Mumbai is the commercial and
entertainment capital of India, and home to the world-famous Hindi-language film
industry, Bollywood. Rise at dawn to watch the morning ritual at the Sassoon Docks,
South Mumbai’s main fish loading and trading centre. Shoot a picture of the Gateway to
India, facing westward out to sea, and stop in for a cup of tea at the famous Taj hotel
next door. From here boats leave for Elephanta Island (also called Gharapuri Island or
place of caves), famous for is cave temples caved straight from the rock. People-watch on
Chowpatty Beach or visit Crawford Market, one of South Mumbai's most famous
markets. Try some of the many local specialties at one of Mumbai’s many top-notch
restaurants, or go out on the town and sample the city’s famed nightlife firsthand.

45. DAY 13 – 14: GOA
In the afternoon of Day 13 we fly from Mumbai to Goa, on arrival we
transfer to our beach accommodation. Portuguese merchants first
landed in Goa in the 15th century, and annexed it soon after. The
Portuguese overseas territory (not technically a colony), existed for
about 450 years, until it was captured by India in 1961. Goa cuisine is
unique and recognized throughout India and the world for its fiery
punch and strong coastal and Portuguese influences Relax on a
beach, visit the many Portuguese-built monuments, wander around
the old churches of Old Goa (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and
discover Panjim, the capital. And eat as much of the incredible Goan
food as you can - it's your last chance!
DAY 15: GOA
Depart at any time.
