Ganges River

The Ganges, or Ganga, is one of the world’s great rivers . Its wide valley stretches across northern India and Bangladesh from the Himalayas to the Bay of Bengal. It is one of the most fertile of all agricultural regions. Its rice and other crops feed hundreds of millions of people in India and in Bangladesh, where the river is also known as the Padma.
The Ganges is the holiest river in Hinduism . Hindus venerate it as a “life-giving river,” calling it Mother Ganges. They believe that bathing in its waters washes away sin. Many Hindus go on pilgrimages to holy sites along the Ganges, especially at its confluence with other rivers.
The Ganges is about 1,557 miles (2,506 kilometers) long. Its valley, or basin, is 200 to 400 miles (325 to 650 kilometers) wide. The total drainage basin covers an area of about 376,800 square miles (975,900 square kilometers).
The river flows generally southeastward. It has several headstreams. The main one, called Bhagirathi, starts in an ice cave on the southern slopes of the Himalayas , some 10,300 feet (3,140 meters) above sea level. After cutting through the Himalayas, the Ganges breaks out of the foothills at Haridwar and flows across the vast Gangetic Plain, receiving the waters of many tributaries along the way. Midway in its course, near Allahabad, it is joined by one of its chief tributaries, the Yamuna (Jumna) River.
The Ganges empties into the Bay of Bengal, where its mouths form a vast delta . At the delta it is joined by the southward-flowing Brahmaputra River . Their combined delta is the largest in the world. It begins more than 200 miles (322 kilometers) from the Bay of Bengal and lies mostly in Bangladesh. It is largely a tangled swampland. The Hugli (Hooghly) River, an old channel of the Ganges, flows through the delta on the west.
Rainfall in the Ganges River basin varies from an average of 30 inches (76 centimeters) annually at the western end to more than 90 inches (229 centimeters) at the eastern end. The water supply of the Ganges system depends partly on the rains brought by the monsoon winds from July to October. Melting Himalayan snows in the hot season, from April to June, also contribute to the water supply. Heavy monsoon rains often cause the Ganges to overflow its banks, and the resulting floods can be deadly, especially in the delta region. The delta also experiences strong cyclones both before the start of the monsoon season, from March to May, and at the end of it, from September to October. In 1970 a catastrophic cyclone killed at least 200,000 and possibly as many as 500,000 people; another, in 1991, killed some 140,000 people.
The Ganges basin is one of the most densely populated agricultural regions in the world. Most of the original natural vegetation and wild animals have disappeared, and the fertile plains are now heavily cultivated to meet the needs of the large population. Use of the Ganges’ water for irrigation , either when the river floods or by means of gravity canals, has been common since early times. Irrigation has increased the production of such food and cash crops as wheat, sugarcane, cotton, and oilseeds.
Before there were railways (and later motor vehicles), the Ganges was an important transportation artery. The diversion of water for irrigation also has affected river navigation. Today, river traffic is insignificant above the middle of the basin around Allahabad, but the rural people of West Bengal state in India and of Bangladesh continue to use it to transport agricultural products.
The chief cities on the Ganges system are Kolkata (Calcutta) and its suburb Haora (Howrah), on the Hugli; Varanasi (Benares); Allahabad; and Kanpur. Varanasi and Allahabad are holy cities in Hinduism, and temples crowd their riverbanks. From them ghats, or steps, lead down to the water. Pilgrims go down the steps for religious bathing or to fill small bottles with the sacred water. At some of the ghats the dead are cremated, and their ashes are scattered on the Ganges.

India facts
OFFICIAL NAME : Republic of India, Bharat FORM OF GOVERNMENT : Federal republic CAPITAL : New Delhi POPULATION : 1,236,344,631 OFFICIAL LANGUAGES : Hindi, English, 21 others MONEY : Rupee AREA : 3,287,590 square kilometres MAJOR MOUNTAIN RANGE : Himalaya MAJOR RIVERS : Ganges, Yamuna, Indus, Brahmaputra FLAG :
India’s geography
India is part of the continent of Asia. Most of India forms a peninsula, jutting out into the ocean. The southeast is bordered by the Bay of Bengal , and the southwest is bordered by the Arabian Sea . The Himalayas – the world’s highest mountain range – rise in the north of the country.
India’s terrain varies widely, from the Thar Desert in the west to jungles in the northeast. A fertile area called the Ganges Plain covers much of northern India. This formation was created from soil that was deposited by rivers running from the Himalayas. In some places, this layer of silt is over 7,620m deep.
Indian people & culture
Society throughout India is divided into social ranks, called castes . Caste is determined by birth and there is almost no way to change it. High castes include priests, landowners and soldiers. So-called Untouchables have no caste and do the most menial jobs.
India is a very spiritual country. It has no official religion, but more than 80 percent of Indians are Hindu . About 13 percent are Muslim . Other religions include Buddhism , Sikhism , and Jainism , which all began in India .
India’s nature
For thousands of years, since the Hindu religion first evolved, respect for animal life has been an important part of Indians’ beliefs. Cows in particular are sacred and cannot be harmed. They are even allowed to wander through city streets, which often causes traffic jams!
India’s varied climate zones support about 65,000 animal species , including elephants, pythons, river dolphins and rhinos, and 12,000 types of flowering plants . It is the only country in the world with both lions and tigers. It’s also a bird watcher’s paradise.
On the coast of the Bay of Bengal is the Sundarbans , the world’s largest mangrove forest. Here, tigers swim in the same rivers as dolphins, sea turtles, sharks and saltwater crocodiles. This unique landscape is constantly under threat as sea levels rise and humans hunt illegally, and clear trees for firewood.
The Himalayas provide a home for some of India’s rarest animals and plants. The most elusive animal is the snow leopard. Bears and black buck live lower down, and in the northeast, the tiger and one-horned rhinoceros can be found.
Indian government and economy
India’s parliamentary government was inherited from the British. After independence in 1947 , one party, the Congress Party, and one family, the Nehru family, dominated politics in India for decades. Now, however, many parties compete for elected positions.
India’s economy is growing so fast that experts predict it will soon become one of the world’s leading markets.
Indian history
India’s earliest known civilization arose about 5,000 years ago on the Indus River in what is now Pakistan. Archaeologists uncovered the remains of two huge cities with brick houses, piped water and sewer systems. Nobody knows why, but these cities, called Harappa and Mohenjo Daro , were abandoned in 1700 B.C.
The Aryan people were farmers from Central Asia who arrived in India around 1500 B.C. They spoke Sanskrit, one of the world’s oldest known languages. The Vedic Scriptures, writings that form the basis of the Hindu religion, were written during the Aryan reign.
In the 200-year reign of the Gupta Empire , starting in the fourth century A.D., arts, crafts, and sciences flourished. During this time, the Indian astronomer Aryabhatta determined that the Earth revolved around the sun. This was long before the Western world accepted the theory.
Beginning in the 16th century, following a series of invasions by Muslim forces, a Mongol leader named Babur founded the Mughal Empire . The Mongols oversaw a golden age of art, literature and architecture in India between 1527 and 1707. They built roads, mosques, gardens and enormous tombs, including the grand Taj Mahal .
In the late 1400s, Europeans arrived in India and began setting up trading companies. In 1757, Britain gained control over most of the country. Uprisings against British rule began in 1856. In 1920, the famous Mahatma Gandhi began nonviolent protests to push the British out. In 1947, India had independence.
