India

India is the second-most populous country in the world, with an estimated 1.4 billion people. My partner, Vivian, is diaspora Indian although his ancestors left the country in the 19^th century. India is a culturally and linguistically diverse country, with Hinduism as the main religion but a significant Muslim minority, and of course a fervent passion for cricket 😉
