Taj Mahal Is All That You Need To See.

Let us be the ones to bust one of the most misleading myths about India.
No doubt, we give all the credit to the Taj Mahal for being one of the wonders of the world.

That’s what they call India. And we agree to disagree with one of the biggest myths about India.

It doesn’t end here, we have a few more myths about India that you need to separate from the facts, right away!

Hinduism Is The Only Religion Here! Is That True?

So nothing disappoints us more than hearing another one of those myths about India which says that India is home to only Hinduism as the religion.

If there’s anything that can be more wrong, we’d be glad to hear about it. Because as much as India is known for its diversity, it is religiously so diverse.

With people belonging to so many religious backgrounds living in unity within this huge country, it is only right to call it as secular as it can get.

Be it Christianity Islam or Hinduism for that matter, you’ll find people belonging to all.

Strangely enough, that’s the beauty of incredible India. And we haven’t felt prouder doing anything as much as we did while busting one of the biggest myth about India. Yes, this one.

The kind of home away from home experience and hospitality that you’ll receive in India through its decent and welcoming citizens is something you’ll cherish even after going back.

Of course, little thefts and tragedies can happen anywhere.

Why should India be labeled for the same?
When in reality India is nothing but extremely hospitable to its guests.
