Political Setup:

India, a union of states, is a Sovereign, Secular, Democratic Republic with a Parliamentary system of Government. The President is the constitutional head of Executive of the Union. In the states, the Governor, as the representative of the President, is the head of Executive. The system of government in states closely resembles that of the Union. There are 28 states and 7 Union territories in the country. Union Territories are administered by the President through an Administrator appointed by him. From the largest to the smallest, each State/UT of India has a unique demography, history and culture, dress, festivals, language etc.

Tourism in India:

India is the land to travel to, a haven of tourism delights, a civilization to tour through. Tourists come to India for its wealthy cultural exuberance, diversity of terrain and in search of that special something, an extra punch that only India promises and delivers. Teeming with over a billion people who voice over a million concerns in fifteen hundred different languages, India is where people live with variety, thrive on diversity and are too familiar with largeness to let it boggle them. Mud huts and mansions face off across city streets. Lurid luxury and limp living are inhabitants of the same lane.
From the heights of the Himalayas to the deep blue waters around the Andamans, from the mysterious mangroves of the Sunderbans to the steaming Thar Desert, sizzling cities like Mumbai and Delhi to the scintillating villages of Khajuraho and Hampi, India is a travel haven – a tour package that delights one and all.
The crowd at Pushkar, mendicants at Haridwar, high commercialism at spiritual retreats — you get all in the package called India. Be prepared for an overwhelming warmth in the people, ease of conversation, and to be stunned to speechlessness by its beauty, sometimes the man-made Taj Mahal in Agra, and often in the lap of nature.
So if you have made up your mind to come to India, make sure it's a long holiday, because that's what you need to visit the amazing places India has to offer and once done you will yearn for another longer holiday so that you can start anew in visiting the places, tasting the exquisite cuisines, taking part in the various adventure sports, etc. ...there is actually no end to it all!
