Write a short paragraph about your knowledge of India. Describe its location, language,

history, and religion,

Next, briefly answer the following question: Would you, like Amanda, have simply assumed India is similar to China? Why or

why not?

India is a country located in Asia, often seen mistakenly seen as a poor country and stereotyped. In reality it has great culture and celebrate many holidays to honor everyday things such as Holi, celebration of colors or Diwali the celebration of lights. It has great history, and was long ago took over by the British after the Sepoy rebellion when they lost control India ended up divided, two major countries that stand out from that division is mainland India and Pakistan. Today in India the language spoken most commonly is Hindi but others such as Gujarati, Tamil, Punjabi are all used. Most people their are Hindu but Shikisam, Buddhism, and Islam occupy India as well. Amanda should not of assumed India is similar to China. Not only is this not true but this assumption puts all Asian countries together. These are stereotypes that are not true. Her assumption was the equivalent of saying America and Europe are the same we very well know they are not.
