India holds one of the world's largest democratic countries. The major religions practiced in India are Buddhism and Hinduism. The climate varies from mountains to jungle. In the mountains, it is cooler but in the jungle it is hot and humid.

India has its own bread of elephants, the Indian elephant is part of the Asian elephant family. Asian elephants tend to be smaller than African elephants. Their ears are smaller because they do not need to cool themselves as much as the African elephants. The large ears of African elephants help them to stay cool in the hot temperatures of the savannas. Indian elephants also tend to have a light colored spotted mask on their faces. I would guess that the Indian elephant makes up a majority of the tame elephants due to the amount that the Indian people tame and use to help Carry people, goods, and help with industry like hauling out timber that has been felled.

If I am not wrong, I believe that the story, The Jungle Book is based on an Indian boy, Mowgli, who gets lost in the jungle and is raised by a pack of wolves and is friends with a bear Balue, and a panther, Bagira. His sworn enemy (in the kid's story) is the tiger Shericaun.

India is one of the few places in the world where you will still find a wild tiger population. I think that the tigers most commonly found in India are Bangle Tigers as apposed to the Siberian Tigers who are more commonly found in parts of China, Russia, and the other Asian countries that are on the Eastern coast of Asia. Bangle Tigers are known man killers so it is probably not a coincident that the tiger Shericaun in The Jungle Book is trying to kill Mowgli (in the kid's) and attacks the settlement in a different version of the story.

The Indian people have a goddess, (I believe she is the goddess of destruction and havoc) who has many hands and arms. I once saw a movie where the captain of a ship was from India. His name was Captain Nemo. I saw him on the movie, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and according to my sister, all the characters in that movie were taken from real literature.

Indian women paint read dots on the middle of their foreheads which denote their marital status. I don't remember how the dot system works though. People in America, through stereotypes, tend to place Indian people behind the counter at a gas station or convenience store. This has spread due to the fact that the owner of the convenience store on the TV show The Simpson's is an Indian man, I think his name is Achoo, but I don't watch that show.
