Subject : India no longer a nation of magicians and snake charmers
Dear Ivan,
I was rather amused by your e-mail. It seems you have very little information about my country. India is no longer a country of magicians and snake-charmers. We are a developed country now with every convenience found in modern countries. Besides our rich cultural heritage, our glorious history is full of heroes,we have built a modern India after independence in 1947.
Our country boasts of steel plants (two built with Russian know-how), flourishing industries, dams on rivers to generate electricity and agriculture developed with modern technology. We have the best schools and colleges and our cities boast of mega malls where the latest brands compete with each other. The cities provide every possible comfort to visitors besides an amazing variety in sightseeing. Our telecom industry can match any in the world.
So, shed your prejudices and prepare yourself for the new modern India. I am sure you will enjoy
your visit.
With regards
Rajesh
