28 States. 24 Languages. 1600 Dialects. Millions of cuisines. 59 Festivals. 330000 Gods and goddesses. One country. From the saree to the sarong. Home to sands and snow peaks, it's the only country that has over 300 ways of cooking the potato. Be its culture, colours, creed, caste, cuisine or customs, India's unity is in its diversity. A singular address of the plural.With over 200 languages, 12 officially recognized scripts and 1600 dialects, India is linguistically legendary.
