Redefining the Rupee
HISTORY
India, officially the Republic of India, is the seventh-largest and the second-most populous country with a population of nearly 1.2 billion. Bounded by the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea, and the Bay of Bengal, India has been able to establish itself as one of the largest manufacturing sites and one of the largest trading posts in the world. The geography of India is also very diverse allowing people to prosper in any area inhabited. India’s culture has transformed greatly, mostly due to religious moments in history as well as colonalisation by Britain.
