Answer:
What can I say about my nation – ‘India?’ Being a land of diversity, my nation, India, has been witnessing a large number of tourists from every corner of the planet. Its capital city “New Delhi” is one of the oldest cities in the world whose rich historical and cultural heritage cannot be expressed in mere words.
Taking immense pride in more than 29 States and 7 Union Territories, I am proud to have been born and raised in such a magnificent country. India is a country with unity in diversity as it boasts about its heritage, cultures, traditions and customs that we Indians are aware of.
There are myriad reasons supporting the fact that India is an emerging superpower. Other than becoming the most populated nation in the world by 2025, I am sure that India will have gained the ‘superpower’ status by then. In fact, my nation has the 3rd largest armed forces in the world.
