(An error in the State Board Hindi Text book) Our country, India is a land of people belonging to different cultures, traditions, languages, colour, caste and creed. Where people practice different faiths and follow different religious. The unity despite diversities is of utmost importance. But the recent happenings in terms of attacks to the Christian Minority Community are of serious concern to the very existence and living of this peace loving community. We have contributed our best in the growth, welfare and advancement of our country through our educational institutions, our hospitals and community welfare institutions.

Più avanti le donne raccoglievano radicchio, asparagi, cumo e crauti e insegnavano ai giovani, che salivano con loro, a conoscere e a rispettare le piante, le erbe e i fiori. A giugno le mucche raggiungevano le mie cime, accompagnate dai mandriani, pascolavano l’erba e il tintinnio dei loro campanacci rallegrava il mio paesaggio.
