Mahatma Gandhi used Satyagraha, which means "truth force," to fight for freedom without using violence. In 1930, he led the Salt March to protest a British tax on salt. He and thousands of others walked 390 km to the sea to make their own salt. Even though 60,000 people were arrested, their peaceful protest forced the British to change the law and helped unite India. India’s caste system is an ancient social hierarchy that’s over 3,000 years old. It traditionally divided people into groups based on their jobs and family background. Think of it like a ladder: • Brahmins: Teachers and priests (at the top). • Kshatriyas: Warriors and rulers. • Vaishyas: Traders and farmers. • Shudras: Laborers and workers. • Dalits: Historically called "untouchables," they were kept outside the system and faced the harshest treatment. "English is still used in India today mainly because of its colonial history, which established it as the language of government and law. After independence, it remained a neutral common language that allows people from different regions to communicate. Today, English is essential for success, as it is the main language for higher education, technology, and international business." India is a huge country with over 1.4 billion people. The capital is New Delhi, but cities like Mumbai and Bangalore are also very famous. While many languages are spoken, Hindi and English are the most common. The culture is known for Hinduism, the greeting "Namaste," and delicious spicy food like curry and naan. When it comes to sports, cricket is the absolute favorite, followed by football and chess
