| India: Modern & Vibrant | Picture Description |
|---|---|
| The following pictures were not taken by me. While there is much poverty in India, there is also great wealth. While many things in India are low-tech, there are also successful and enormous hi-tech industries. My trip to India took me only to Agra (Taj Mahal), Banares (Varanasi) and Bodh-Gaya (in Bihar). So, I also want to show some of the other highlights of India. The Indian people are in general, industrious, smart, and friendly with a bright future. | |
