With its mix of languages, religions, cultures, and landscapes, India is a country of superlatives: over 1 billion people live closely together here. 80% of Indians are Hindus, and with nearly 14% Muslims, India has the third-largest Muslim population in the world, after Indonesia and Pakistan. During the Hindu bathing festival 'Kumbh Mela', more than 70 million pilgrims gather every 12 years, a number unmatched anywhere else. The Indian film industry produces over 1,000 feature films annually, overshadowing even Hollywood. Meanwhile, India has embarked on a rapid journey into the future, while still holding onto its past. The India audiobook sheds light on the incredibly complex history and present of India, which seems not to be a single country but a whole continent! The charismatic actor Rufus Beck takes listeners into a colorful, fascinating world: to world-creating Hindu gods, wise indigenous people, sacred elephants, bathing pilgrims, golden temples, monuments of love, and the megacities of Delhi, Bangalore, and Mumbai. India experts Peter Pannke and Lisa Fehrenbach have compiled myths, facts, sensations, and quotes, embedding them in over 50 musical examples from the Indian cultural sphere, including the unique Ragas for specific times of day and seasons.
