The Republic of India is the second most populated country in the world and also the world’s largest democracy. It is comprised of twenty-nine states and seven union territories which are divided into six major zones: North India, Northeast India, East India, South India, West India and Central India.
And guess what? 🙂 … I have visited all twenty-nine states of Incredible India 🙂 Cool, huh? Thanks 🙂 Among the seven union territories – Delhi (National Capital Territory), Puducherry (Pondicherry), Chandigarh, Daman & Diu, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep Island, and Dadra & Nagar Haveli – I have visited the first four.
