1 TrainsNot everyone who thinks of India thinks of trains immediately, they think more of the beautiful foods, temples and festivals they celebrate. However, the train plays a very significant role in Indian life and without this infrastructure brought about by the British colonials, India may not be where it is today. India’s longest tunnel is 11km long and cost around £130 million to build. Also train drivers are paid more than the average software engineer, roughly earning around £988 a month, and no train driver has ever left their post, even in the face of certain death. Now that’s dedication for you.

Now the globe watches intently at the multimillion dollar tournament that rakes in on average over £25million for its 3-month duration. India lives and breathes cricket in its very soul. India has produced some of the finest cricket players in history, Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni are to name but two.
