Three times the population, one third the land mass and half the GDP of the United States, India is the most populated and largest democratic country in the world. Along with the United States and China, India is a geopolitical juggernaut whose actions will determine the world’s fate. This is a country that cannot be summed in 1000 words… the Indus Valley civilization dating back to 7000 BCE, the Ganges River running 1569 miles from the western Himalayas to the Bay of Bengal, the genesis of Buddhism contributed to Siddhartha Gautama, the Taj Mai, British East India Company, Duke of Wellington grounding as a commander in the Angol-Mysore War, the British Raj, Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle book, Gandi, Nehru, tea, coffee… did you say coffee? Although often overlooked in the western hemisphere, India has a tradition dating to the 16th century when the Indian saint Baba Budan returned from a pilgrimage to Mecca with 7 coffee beans smuggled in his beard. He planted them on a mountainside in Karnataka province, now named Baba Budangiri, where a shrine has been built in commemoration.
