This is a good question I was asked on another thread. We all have things we dislike about countries, some may not know enough about other countries to know what there is to like and dislike. So here's my 5 things I like about India. Feel free to add whatever you like. 1) Taj mahal
2) Beaches of Goa (perhaps one day I'll find out if they really look like this
3) Curry
4) Aishwayra Rai
5) Since I dont like cricket so much, I'll have to go for Bollywood

Na Bakhtiar is 100% from Iran, not Pashtun, she must be an emmigrant to Pakistan or India, I don't think Parsees have the name Bakhtiar. There are also many Parsees in Bollywood and some Iranians. I don't like Aishwara Rai, she looks too fake... . ------------- |

She looks somewhat plain in a wierd way, too photogenic. Besides, i
like it when Indian women have those more distintive noses, which she
lacks.

i'll have you know he is an absolutly amazing singer and one of the funniest people on this planet. He can charm or sing his way into any girl's heart. After all, looks can be decieving, but if you heard the guy you'd understand what i mean. (and he's a damn fast keyboard player!)

Half Baloch apparently, with a foreign mother. The above maxim holds true to the Pakistani show business celebrity, Zeba Bakhtiar. • Zeba Bakhtiar, who is the daughter of the former attorney general of Pakistan, Yahya Bakhtiar, hails from Baluchistan , Pakistan. Her mother is of foreign descent. Like Zeba Bakhtiar, her brother also associated himself with Pakistani television. http://www.ptv.com.pk/webptv/actress8.asp - http://www.ptv.com.pk/webptv/actress8.asp

1. Indian Music. You either like it or you don't, personally, Indian music is unique and sounds nice to me. Especially "softer" songs by Lata Mangeshkar.
2. Indian Musical instruments.

oh I love India! In no particuler Order.
1. the people, they make life look so fun to live.. they are smart.. and the young ones have great style from an early age and know how to fix themselfs up.
2. Bollywood.. Khan and Aishwarya and all the others, the music videos, movies and how colorful everything is.
3. food! hot hot hot hot hot, yum!
4. the culture, past and present, from the taj mahal to the diversity and the saris, jewelry, and indian women put makeup on the best!
5. hot people.. guys and girls.. also add i love how they both get married.. Ind/Pak weddings and wedding dresses look are the best!
Only thing I dont like is the lack of dark skinned people front and center. its like they put the lighter skinned beauties up in front and put darker in back. skin color issues? reminds me of Latin America. they both need to quit that. and thats it.

1. The Most Cultured, Sophisticated, and Deep (having much depth) Culture in the Universe. No joke. The weddings, the religions, the languages, the everything and anything that is Indian.
2. Food.
3. People. The Indian is a capable person and desirious of seeking knowledge. Unfortunately their damn polytickians are corrupt. Otherwise this growth we see today should have began in the early 70s.
Also, Indians tend to be moderate in all they do. Pakistanis tend to gourge on food, money, etc. Indians know moderate temperment. Pakistanis can consume like pigs.
4. The geography. All landscapes under the sun are available in the nation.
5. the Hot Indian girls (not the ugly ones) ------------- Mughal e Azam |

1. Music, classical, Shankar and chants in particular. [TUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeu6bnYcm38[/TUBE] 2. Food - I'm a bug sucker for a good curry /that makes a fantasy out of the most prosaic tater/, and other things, when I'm in a mood to cook. The recipes are quite requiring though, so I can't do it on daily basis, otherwise I won't have time to write this post.  3. Yoga - even though badly I'm out of shape.  4. Kamasutra and Khajurano - sacred sexuality  5. Rabindranat Tagor "Beggarly Heart" When the heart is hard and parched up, come upon me with a shower of mercy. When grace is lost from life, come with a burst of song. When tumultuous work raises its din on all sides shutting me out from beyond, come to me, my lord of silence, with thy peace and rest. When my beggarly heart sits crouched, shut up in a corner, break open the door, my king, and come with the ceremony of a king. When desire blinds the mind with delusion and dust, O thou holy one, thou wakeful, come with thy light and thy thunder. 6. I have to add one more, so saree and jewelry   ------------- |
