India as seen by Mark Twain

"India is an epitome of the whole world and posses all the leading features of other lands - the most bewitching scenery, the most fertile soil, the most dense forests, the highest mountains, some of the biggest rivers, and intensely cold seasons may be found along with arid, treeless deserts, sandy waterless plains. Our most valuable and most instructive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India." -Mark Twain
