Namaste! Welcome to, "In Quest of a Nation", a comprehensive web site about the rich, cultural heritage of India. The site through four main sections covers the history, dance, music and places to visit in this amazing country. In our history section we talk about India's history right from about 3000 BC onwards and finish at 1947AD, the year it won its independence from the British colonial rule. Our dance section covers the classical and folk dances of India. The dances are described in detail covering all the technical aspects of each dance. Our music section covers the classical music of India and includes articles on the theory, instruments and musicians. Finally our travelogue section covers almost all the major places to visit in India, especially focusing on monuments etc.

Our site is very comprehensive, with over a hundred thousand words of text, several hundred images as well as some sound files. The history and dance sections in particular are probably the most comprehensive articles on the subject, on the entire Internet! All sections have been specially written in a very structured style to ease navigation. Our search engine can be used to find something specific. We also have a message board for each article where you can contribute your own material or interact with others. These are in the search path of the search engine so articles you contribute can be located and read by others! All this is featured in the More! section of each article. Besides the message board, the More! section sometimes even includes study and project materials, a useful resource for students and teachers. We hope you have a great learning experience at our site.
