Facts of India

India is about one third the size of the US but has nearly three times the population. Much of the country suffers from poverty and nearly half of them are vegetarians due their religious belief in hinduism. The cow is one of their most sacred animals as well as goats and many other animal related object type things. Luckily nearly everyone in india over the age of 15 can both read and write. The average life expectancy is around 60 years and the brith rate is three times the rate of death in the country. Simply put, their population is growing. Overpopulation is already a major issue in India but it doesn't seem to be a major care in the life of most of the people who call India their home. If you consider that India has about 3 times the US population and is only one third the size of the US then you can figure that about 80 people per square mile live in the US and nearly 720 people per square mile live in India! Thats' just crazy. India is also renowned for their spicy food and their excesively expensive restaraunts in the city of New Dheli.
