Traditions and Customs of India

Traditions and Customs of India India's culture is among the world's oldest; civilization in India began about 4,500 years ago.

There's more to it. Some of the Re 1 notes printed in 1964, bearing the signature of the then finance secretary, S Bhoothalingam, are at present available on ebay.com for Rs 25,500 each.
