9 FACTS ABOUT INDIA TOURISTS ARE NOT ABLE TO BELIEVE

India is a land of many wonders, from its ancient civilizations to its contributions in modern-day society. Here are 9 amazing facts about India that will leave you amazed:

1. Advanced Surgery from Ancient Times:

India had an advanced form of surgery more than 2,500 years ago, in the 6th century B.C.E. Sushruta, one of the founding fathers of surgery, wrote the Sushruta Samhita, which covered over 1,100 diseases, medicinal plants, and dozens of surgical procedures. It also described surgical reconstruction of the nose, which means that people in ancient India could get a nose job.

2. The First Diamond Dealer:

India was the only source of diamonds in the world until the early 18th century. The Gemological Institute of America states that these precious stones were first discovered and traded in the 4th century B.C.E. Although India had a limited supply of them, the country still maintained a diamond monopoly for almost a thousand years.

3. One of the Earliest Civilizations:

Civilized urban life as we know it dates back about 5,000 years in India. The Indus Valley Civilization was one of the most advanced in the ancient world. By 2600 B.C.E., dozens of towns and cities belonged to that civilization. Houses had bathrooms and wells, and every city had a drainage system. Social conditions were also way better than in other civilizations at the time. On top of that, the ancient Indians had a mysterious writing system that scientists still can’t decipher to this day.

4. A Civilization Ahead of Its Time:

During the Vedic period, which lasted from about 1500 to 500 B.C.E., Indian society was probably the most equal in the known world at that time. Women received an equal education with men, could become sages and seers, and enjoyed all kinds of rights. There was no such thing as arranged marriage back then, and political debates were rarely held without women giving speeches.

5. The Most Important Number:

The concept of zero and the rules of its use were first invented in India around the 7th century C.E. Before that, the idea of “nothing” hadn’t even been treated as a number. The convenience of zero is now an integral part of our daily lives.

6. Clean Hair:

The word “shampoo” is derived from the Hindi word “champo,” which means “to massage” or “knead.” At the time, shampooing was only common to Indians, who massaged their heads with various herbs and extracts and then washed them off with water to keep their hair clean. The practice of using shampoo didn’t come to Europe until a thousand years later, in the early 19th century.

7. Math and Astronomy Genius:

Mathematics and astronomy were two major disciplines in ancient India, dating back to 1500 B.C.E. or even earlier. One of India’s greatest minds, Aryabhata, lived in the 5th century C.E. He wrote a treatise on astronomy that became a foundation for many later studies.

8. Yoga:

The practice of yoga dates back more than 5,000 years in India. Yoga has been an integral part of Indian culture and is now practiced by millions worldwide. Yoga has been proven to have numerous physical and mental health benefits.

9. Spices:

India is known for its use of spices in cooking. The country is home to a variety of spices, including cardamom, cinnamon, cumin, turmeric, and ginger. These spices not only add flavor to dishes but also have numerous health benefits. For example, turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties and may help prevent cancer.
