India extends down from the Himalayan Mountains in the north, right down to the Indian Ocean in the south. In the 19th and early 20th centuries India was governed by the British. Independence was gained in 1947.
Despite increasing tourism and growing industry, some parts of India are still home to some of the poorest people in the world where people live day to day in conditions of poverty.
