1/3 of the Indian population lives in cities, with large agglomerations in cities such as: Mumbai, Calcutta and New Delhi, with Mumbai being the most significant. Speaking a little about the History of India, in the 17th century, England had consolidated its dominance over Indian territory, after disputes with other European powers.
British colonization brought about a series of changes, including the direction of the country's production to meet the external market, putting the needs of the internal market in the background, and thus we can mention the plantations that caused famine caused by the lack of food.
In 1947, with India's independence, the Hindu caste system was abolished, which did not happen in practice as it is still very much tied to the country's culture. India is currently one of the countries that make up the BRICS, and has been achieving high rates of economic growth. The country has also conquered the market for activities related to Information Technology, developed mainly in Bangalore.
We can also mention Bollywood, India's entertainment industry in Mumbai, which today produces more than a thousand films per year, making it the largest industry in the sector in the world. And you, what do you know about India, this place with such a large population and such ancient traditions?
