If one wants to understand the origin of some of the happenings in India, this is the section to visit. The transport network, especially the railway connectivity in India, is one of the longest in the world. In this site, one can know about the first train of the country, when it was opened for the public, distance it covered, areas it connected etc. This is the section where people would be transported back to a world, when the events actually happened. Some of the other interesting things that one can know from here are the origin and history of the first few things like airport, newspaper, university, women Islamic rulers, first woman to receive the Bharat Ratna, Nobel Prize etc.
Each and every sub-section found here, contains interesting explanation as to how the idea of a particular happening was conceptualised, the hurdles that occurred before the successful completion of a particular event, the people who were involved in the same, the significance of that particular happening etc. As people read through the sections covered here, they are sure to feel mesmerised about the detailed coverage of all sections. One of the most important benefits of this site is that, it introduces the readers to India’s wonderful history that they were never aware of, until then. Through this detailed explanation, people are able to understand and appreciate the events better.

This site also proves to be a perfect reflection of India’s rich culture, diversity, tradition and history.

A few selected sections are hand-picked and the origin of each is clearly explained in layman terms in this site, so that one can easily understand and absorb the contents of the same.
