One summer while at Dubai Men's College, we chose to spend about 6 weeks of the summer in India. We first flew into New Delhi and were on a private escorted tour of Agra and Jaipur. We continued for the next five weeks travelling by ourselves. We took the train to Bihar for the Buddhist things, and Varanasi. We continued down to Calcutta and then Bhubaneswar. After we flew to Madras and went to a Jain temple in the Bangalore area. We flew to Goa for a short stay. Finally, we travelled overland to Bombay (called at the time) and returned to the UAE from there.

Esse belo mausoléu situado em uma cidade da Índia de nome Agra, é um dos mais famosos monumentos do país. A UNESCO o classifica como Patrimônio da Humanidade. Foi construído no império Mogol, entre 1631 e 1653, pois o imperador Shah Jahan, queria homenagear sua esposa Mumtaj Mahal que havia falecido. Para que isso fosse possível, 20.000 pessoas trabalharam arduamente. O local é visitado por aproximadamente 3 milhões de turistas anualmente. Você já o conhece?
Women in India are considered their family's provider for an increasingly valuable material: water. Women are in charge of gathering water every day for use in their homes and on their land. A day's supply of water can amount to multiple trips to a local well for women. While rainfall has remained consistent, India has overused its water, forcing its residents to search beyond their homes for the precious liquid. Indian women must travel longer to find new sources of water, and this affects their lives daily.
Collecting and carrying water are women's responsibilities in India. Rural Indian men primarily apply water to agriculture. However, the women utilize the resource for various aspects of their duties. Their domestic uses include cooking and cleaning, where uncontaminated water is a necessity. In addition, raising children requires nourishing and sanitary water. Women are also key participants in farming. For their reliance on water, Indian women must exhaust ample time and health to supply their needs.

Situada a orillas del río Ganges, Haridwar es una de las ciudades más santas de India; un lugar que no nos podemos perder si queremos sentir en nuestra propia piel la intensa fe y profunda espiritualidad que mueve este país.
Según la leyenda, Haridwar fue uno de los cuatro puntos donde cayeron las cuatro gotas de “amrita”, el néctar de la inmortalidad por el que dioses y demonios combatieron durante doce días y doce noches divinas, equivalentes a doce años humanos.
Por ese motivo, cada tres años estas cuatro ciudades se turnan para celebrar la fiesta religiosa más importante de India: el Kumbha Mela. Cuando a Haridwar le toca, ésta se llena de shadus y personajes de todo tipo llegados desde los lugares más lejanos para bañarse en las aguas del Ganges, que esos días multiplica sus propiedades mágicas y curativas.
Pero el papel de Haridwar como lugar de peregrinación no se limita al Kumbha Mela. Vayamos en la época que vayamos, Haridwar nos recibirá siempre con una explosión de música, colorido y ceremonias religiosas realizadas a orillas de la “Madre Ganga”.
Paralelo a su cauce, un gran mercado se convierte en punto de encuentro de peregrinos, turistas y habitantes de Haridwar. Allí podremos comprar de todo, pero destacan los puestos de mālās y prasad, así como estampitas de diferentes dioses y hombres santos (y no sólo de la religión hindú: los retratos de diversos profetas musulmanes así como del mismísimo Jesucristo son de lo más corriente).

Shabbir, Younis and Rauf were the brothers we met in Chatpal.
We watched them play an exciting game of racing their metal rings down a slope. We spent a long time with them.
They jumped off high rocks. Posed for photos. And reminded us to get the photos the next time we visit, before saying their goodbyes.

home to the Meena people, who have lived in this part of India since ancient times. The villages of the Meena people have picturesque white and ochre mud houses: these are often decorated with wall and floor paintings known as Mandana.
Did you know that half of the world's population lives in earth or mud buildings? A mud house is cheaper to build and offers better insulation than a brick and concrete house - it is cool in summer and warm in winter and is, therefore, more sustainable. In contrast, the production of cement for building is known to account for more than five per cent of global carbon dioxide emissions.

The Jat - one of the hidden tribes in Gujarat (India).
Dhaneta Jat girl.
The Jats who live in Kutch are particularly conscious of their identity as a group and their sense of unity comes from a perception of shared historical traditions and a belief in common ancestry.
Originally the Jats were herders who lived in an area called Half in Iran. Five hundred years ago these shepherds migrated from Half and came to Sindh and Kutch to search for new grazing lands. They crossed the Rann of Kutch and settled there taking up farming, they became known as Dhaneta Jats. Some have devted themselves to the study of the Koran and are known as the Fakirani Jats. All the Jats in Kutch are Muslims and have similar marriage and dowry customs.
The Dhanetas are the largest of the Jat Communities. They live throughtout north western Kutch. The Dhanetas live in the Banni, herd cattle. The men care for the animals and women remain in camp looking after their families.
