India has a strong conservation and environmental protection movement, which has campaigned and lobbied with considerable success against the destruction of habitats through the demands of continuing and rapid industrialization, and population pressures.
India ranks among the world leaders in the mining of iron ore and coal, and produces significant amounts of bauxite, manganese, mica, ilmenite, copper, petroleum, asbestos, chromium, graphite, phosphate rock, zinc, gold, and silver.
Although India and Pakistan agreed, in July 1949, on a line demarcating their respective zones of occupation in Kashmir, the two states were unable to reconcile basic differences on the terms of the proposed plebiscite.

India achieved one of the greatest results in their history as a superlative individual performance by batsman Sunil Gavaskar helped them to their first, and so far only, series success in the Caribbean.
India's decisive success was achieved in the second match in Trinidad where Gavaskar made his Test debut and the tourists came out on top by seven wickets despite one of the best bowling performances of all time by off-spinner Jack Noreiga.
India were 70 for six as pace bowler Uton Dowe took four for 69 but Sardesai, who made 642 runs in the series, saved the follow-on with 150 and there was no chance of a positive result thereafter, although Gavaskar made 117 not out in India's second innings.

But wire and cable have brought great benefits to commerce and industry, and to the common man. India is regarded as a country in slow motion; yet, over a century ago, we were among the pioneers for telegraphic communication.
Telegraphic money orders were sent in India five years before they were introduced in Britain.
It was decided quite early that telegraph service should be a public utility, and it is claimed that the Indian Posts and Telegraphs is the oldest government owned public utility in the world; next to the Railways, it is also the largest utility in the country, employing 220,000 persons and a thousand gazetted officers.

Scheduled airline services in India can be said to have begun on October 15, 1932, when J.R.D. Tata, the Father of Civil Aviation in India and founder of Air India, took off from Karachi in a tiny, light, single-engine aircraft on his flight to Bombay via Ahmedabad.
Air India International, which was registered on March 8, 1948, inaugurated its international services on June 8, 1948, with a weekly flight from Bombay to London via Cairo and Geneva with a Lockheed Constellation aircraft.
Air India and Indian Airlines had a monopoly of scheduled air transport "from, to, in or across India." Air India carried about two thirds of the passenger traffic between India and overseas, and had a flight network of 22,100 route miles.

Hinduism is a synthesis of the religion brought into India by the Aryans (c.1500) and indigenous religion.
The first phase of Hinduism was early Brahmanism, the religion of the priests or Brahmans who performed the Vedic sacrifice, through the power of which proper relation with the gods and the cosmos is established.
Tensions between Hindus and Muslims, however, have long been a fact of life in India, as evidenced in the creation of Pakistan, the conflict over Kashmir, and the subsequent wars between India and Pakistan.

This belief is based in part on the fact that Mountbatten granted India a portion of the Punjab known as the Gurdaspur district, despite the fact that the logic of the partition should have granted this district to Pakistan.
Furthermore, Mountbatten and India considered the Indian leaders to be the more capable at keeping Soviet and Chinese influence out of the subcontinent and, consequently, considered it essential that Kashmir not go to Pakistan.
As Moslems fled India and Hindus fled Pakistan, often with nothing more than their lives thanks to the murderous religious riots perpetrated by extremists on both sides, the situation in Kashmir remained murky.

However, the visit to India did not manage to ensure official Indian support for the cause of the deposed PPP Government, since the Indian Government itself was depending on British support over problems it was facing from Pakistan.
