10 myths about India


India being one of the gifts of nature is endowed with great culture and heritage. Famous for its enticing sights and mountains, it is the largest hub of tourists being amazed every time they visit India. There is nothing in this world free of blemish and distortions.  As nothing comes flawless, India has its own troubles and issues needed to be erased soon. But there are some myths hanging around the pocket along with this admiration. Some of them have caused enough intrusion in the minds of tourists abroad. So if you are planning to visit India, this are the myths you should never fall trap into:

10. India’s beauty is confined to Taj Mahal:

There is no denying that Taj Mahal is one of the most alluring and enticing monument built. But there are other amiable places where you can bask in the beauty of the view and ambiance. Varied culture and diversity has spoken in words of monuments. There are places like Kanyakumari to places like Rajasthan which has proved its attraction in terms of its scenic tourist spots and huge number of tourists flocking here every year.

9. Succulent and searing weather:

hot weather

If you see someone ranting about the hot climate of India, be sure to ask him whether he had been to Shimla or Ooty? Many a times due to lack of true information, this myth continues to overrule their minds. India is a land of varieties of culture and you will find the same variedness in the climate. From the spine chilling cold to scorching heat, from the cool breezes near the sea side to the eternal bliss in a nearby village, there are umpteen choices to make.

8. Indian food is limited to curry:

Yeah I do agree that Indian people swear by the spicy food like curry. But there are many exquisite Indian dishes to relish if you do not have the taste for spicy stuff like the South Indian food. Even all restaurants provide delicacies for different tastes like Chinese, Thai and lots more. But I bet you will vouch for more Indian spicy dishes once you have a bite of it.

7. Hinduism binds one and all:

hinduism

All Indians follow Hinduism and are avid deity worshipers. This is one of the worst possible myths hovering around India. If you took a stroll around by the lanes, you are bound to be surprised by the different religions thriving under one roof. Majority might be Hinduism but there are equivalent number of other religions and cultures flourishing throughout India.

6. Unhygienic environment:

rubbish

It might be hard to prove the notion with the sight of huge mess around the market places, but that is only limited to some places. Peek in the house of any person, not a single ounce of dirt will be present. Just there is mismanagement in the organisations, so is the view of some roadside places.

5. Land of perils:

crime

You have been witnessing several cases of thefts, crimes and more in India. But is there any country which is eroded of crimes? As there is heaven, there is hell. As there is good, there will be evil. All countries have their own security system to tackle the crimes, so is India. It is not prone to crimes all around the clock.

4. Travelling might cost you dearly:

Tall buildings, such exclusive hotel and enticing view of the sea side, these are the sights you encounter while travelling in a city and you worry about the travel expenses you are about to incur. But this is just a mirage. You can unravel India within your budget. There are many hotels which provide satisfying accommodation without burning a hole in your pocket.

3. Crowd, crowd everywhere:

crowd

If you are vying for peace and serenity, then you have to be well aware of the place before venturing out. As India is a land to a huge population, it should not be surprising to see so many people rushing out in a fast city life. Better you consult your tab for a peaceful spot nearby without worrying about the crowd and traffic snarls.

2. Difficulty in accessing ways:

Expressway

This was a thing of the past. In the present scenario, high speed metros, endless highways have made every route easy and comfortable. To add upon, tourist rides are available to present the city with an ethnic flavor. No way round, it is troublesome to have a peek in the rich culture through the lens.

1. Poverty rules the lane:

Poverty

So it’s a child begging in front of the traffic signal or the thatched huts by the lanes. This view is so pitiable that one is bound to believe the entire place is haunted by poverty. But this few pictures in the media or movies do not portray the true facet of India. Although there are some unfortunate people but there are equal number of high class people residing in India.
