About Bharat Stories

Bharat Stories (bharatstories.com) is an independent Indian website about India: its culture, history, languages, festivals, travel, education and public life. It is founded and run by Yugam, who started the site after travelling across India so that he could share what makes each part of the country distinct.

• Contributed articles: pieces by guest contributors, published under their own names.
