India is an incredible country because of its uniqueness. Many little things come together to make India what it is. From food to transportation to festivals -many things make India different from the rest of the world.
Here are seven amazing things that you will find only in India.
1. Rickshaw Pullers
India has many advanced means of transportation. Most of India’s metropolitan cities have metros, and we also have good flight services in many cities and towns. However, if you visit Calcutta, you will still see rickshaw pullers carrying their passengers around the place on their rickshaws. Such a transportation is quite unique to India.
