PDF Editor FAQ

Is India the most overrated country in the world?

I would say, India is the unexplored country. Every beauty and resource that nature brings with it is available here. Now with the growth of education, science and technology there also we can see some magnificent contributions from Indian Fora coming for the world. As we move on with the history of India what we come across is the legacy of Indian and foreign rulers ruling the land with no conviction and a centralized idea, structure and plan to build the country like Westerners have done.Otherwise if you see India in Pre-Christ era, you will find this land to be more prosperous and successful in many ways. The logical city structures old and monstrous temples and buildings built prove their power and knowledge. While with the growth of society these knowledge segment got dispersed across the land of India and could not build a strong and reasonably successful unified ruling class to think for India together.We also lacked the strength to move out of the land and go to other areas of the world to conquer and bring richness of those places for us. This is something well done by many other foreign countries. Their ruling class was able to move out, conquer and rule other places for centuries. This constant attack and rule over India land by other’s made India literally one of the poorest among all the countries of the world. This also did affected our thinking and working pattern.After achieving independence India struggled to stay together with all the states and it took a very very long time till the country stabilized and prepared itself to start the growth of modern era. This not only needed monumental steps to be taken but understanding that we are now one country that too need to be seeped into the mind of the people of the land.Changes that took place in india: [Ref]1000 BCE - Start of the Vedi Perio that continued for next 500 years.1000 – The Gold mines of megalithic sites in South India at Vijayanagar was discovered.Kuru, Panchala, Kosala, Videha ruled during the Iron age.877 BCE - Incarnation of the 23rd jain tirthankara Parsvanatha.700 BCE - Upanishads written and hinduism received the most valuable gift.600 BCE - Sixteen Maha Janapadas emerge.

I went to CocoDoc for a residential rental agreement. They offered a high quality agreement that was convenient to access. The rental transaction did not take place, so I did not subscribe to the monthly service, however I would not hesitate to use them next time. Highly recommended !
