😆Hey guys,
Here's another question I've come across that i actually remembered discussing with an asian friend!!!!! She is chinese....I once brought up in a casual conversation how some of the beauties are within India itself that we take granted for.....so she asked me give her some examples....
My response: Taj Mahal, Kashmir & its locales, & of course the HIMALAYA MOUNTAINS..........my friend didn't take to keen on me claiming the latter as INDIA's Beauty...she says its ALL CHINA & that's where its birth was.......blah blah blah....long story short we ended up having many heated discussions on this..& till this day still do on the rare occasions we see eachother 😕
My valid reason: Abode of Lord Shiv & Parvati Mata, Parsuram performs Tapasya, & if i'm correct Hanumanji also resides there (again if i'm wrong on any PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE correct me)!!!!!
Her valid reason: Lame as it may sound.....a territory found by one of the rulers of some dynasty...i guess i was so insistent & stubborn on claiming Himalaya's as India....I didn't really care to reason with her "claim".......😆
But i do want to hear every1's POV on this so that way i can make my points a little bit more clear with my friend, who says she will convince me no matter what that the Himalaya's are really part of China & NOT INDIA!!!!! This way i get to know more on Himalaya & have the last word on the Himalaya's rightful residence...after all if Himalaya's is the Abode of Shivji & Parvati ma & being part of Hindu religion ....only makes sense that they Himalaya is part of India.......well that's just my reasoning 😛!!!!!!
Please Help me out guys!!!!!
So guys....I'm asking you all to help me out in this crazy discussion & help me claim Himalaya as India with a valid reasoning!!!!! No i'm really just kidding on helping me claim.....

Himalaya is a very wide mountain range. It does'n belong to one country.

Together, the Himalayan mountain system is the planet's highest and home to the world's highest peaks: the Eight-thousanders, including Mount Everest (Nepal/Tibet) and K2 Pakistans (Northern Areas). To comprehend the enormous scale of this mountain range consider that Aconcagua, in the Andes, at 6,962 m, is the highest peak outside Asia, while the Himalayan system includes over 100 mountains exceeding 7,200 metres.[2]

The Himalayan system, which includes outlying subranges, stretches across six countries: Bhutan, China, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Afghanistan. They are the source of three of the world's major river systems, the Indus, the Ganga-Brahmaputra, and the Yangtze. Approximately 1.3 billion people live in the drainage basin of the Himalayan rivers.

The range proper runs west to east, from the Indus river valley to the Brahmaputra river valley, thereby forming an arc 2,400 km long, which varies in width from 400 km in the western Kashmir-Xinjiang region to 150 km in the eastern Tibet-Arunachal Pradesh region. The Himalaya chain consists of three parallel ranges, with the northern-most range known as the Great or Inner Himalayas.--(taken from wikipedia)


Mount Kailash is in China. But other abodes of Lord Shiva n Parvati r in India (himalaya) like Amarnath

Parshuram Kunda (where Parshuram did tapasya) is in Arunachal Pradesh, india. Arunachal is a very lovely place. i visited that place when i was a kid. Now a days China is claiming some portion of Arunachal pradesh. That's why ur chinese friend said so. Read this article abt china n India's stand on arunachal pradesh

GEOGRAPHICALLY considering ONLY A PART OF HIMALAYAS is in china rest the major portion of HIMALAYAS is in INDIA ONLY !!! 😛
ofcourse HIMALAYS is the abode of LORD SHIVA & PARVATIJI & there are many INDIAN MYTHOLOGICAL stories realted with the HIMALAYAS !!!😛
the best proof is the geographical proof tht THE MAJOR portion of the HIMALAYAS is in INDIA !!!!😛

thanks for the info poorvi....
Guys here i want to share with you something....
one of my uncle went for Mansrovar yatra....
but the people over there are very rude ...i'm talking about localities...over the place...
welll they don't have respect...for our religion...well that is another issue...i hardly care....this
but the thing is that the place which is pious for us they even don't care about this...
they drank and throw the alcohol bottles over there on the path..... which is very bad....
they are not hospitable too...infact.... its real difficult yatra all i can say..... becoz...with alll natural barriers.... there are the barriers in the form of human also...
but it was always pleasing to see. the things for which we have gone there....
i have seen the video of that again made by my uncle.... the most pleasing was to see the OHM made of snow on the mountain top....😊😊

actually, India was allot larger (i think some1 else said this already) in the begining, then She was divided.
If people dont believe this, then I ask you, "Why is Sanskrit found in every language"? because it was the first language in the world, and we all speak a language that came from Sanskrit.
