• Some of India is so fertile that it counts among the world's most fertile regions, and others are so barren and unproductive that there is little that can be cultivated.
• There is a sharp difference from the point of view of climate; India has different temperatures, ranging from the blazing heat of the plains  to the freezing points of the Himalayas and the Arctic. This climate change has also added to the richness of fauna and flora in India
• India currently holds the richest plant and animal variety recognized worldwide. The distinctive geographic demographics  is also exceptional and has a a unique eco-system rich with wildlife, vegetation, a large variety of birds, and rare herbs.

Political Diversity

• The lack of homogeneity in the Indian population separates people from various sections based on culture, region, gender, caste and ethnicity. The emergence of political parties with goals representing one or more of these groups has resulted.
• The nation voted a single political party – the Indian Congress (INC) — in place after the first general election in 1951. However 1977 saw the breakthrough. At that point, the political landscape has been dominated by a multi-party structure.
• Coalition governments, fractured results, and Political alliances are presently the highlights of election outcomes
