A land of over 1.2 billion, with a legacy that dates well over 5000 years of documented history and millions of years of presence of life, the birthplace of three major religions and the meeting point of almost all major religious beliefs of the world, an open economy coexisting with a welfare state, the largest democracy in the world, whose citizens have made and continue to make their mark in art and literature as well as the latest fields in science and technology, a land with its fair share of cross-border and internal violence and yet displaying one of the greatest examples of harmonious living in a highly diversified society - India remains a wonder as well as an enigma to social scientists, policy makers, and to businesspersons who plan to operate in India.
