Amazing Facts about Incredible, Cultural, Spiritual & Mystic India:




Incredible India

India, conventional long name Republic of India, is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by geographical area, the second-most populous country with over 1.2 billion people, and the most populous
democracy in the world. Bounded by the Indian Ocean on the south, the Arabian Sea on the southwest, and the Bay of Bengal on the southeast, it shares land borders with Pakistan to the west; Bhutan, the People's Republic of China and Nepal to the northeast; and Bangladesh and Burma to the east. In the Indian Ocean, India is in the vicinity of Sri Lanka and the Maldives; in addition, India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands share a maritime border with Thailand and Indonesia.

Home to the ancient Indus Valley Civilization and a region of historic trade routes and vast empires, the Indian subcontinent was identified with its commercial and cultural wealth for much of its long history. Four of the world's major religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism—originated here, while Zoroastrianism, Christianity and Islam arrived in the first millennium CE and shaped the region's diverse culture. Gradually annexed by the British East India Company from the early 18th century and colonised by the United Kingdom from the mid-19th century, India became an independent nation in 1947 after a struggle for independence which was marked by non-violent resistance and led by Mahatma Gandhi.

The Indian economy is the world's tenth largest economy by nominal GDP and fourth largest economy by purchasing power parity. Following market-based economic reforms in 1991, India has become one of the fastest growing major economies, and is considered a newly industrialized country; however, it continues to face the challenges of poverty, illiteracy, corruption and inadequate public health. A nuclear weapons state and a regional power, it has the third-largest standing army in the world, and ranks tenth in military expenditure among nations.

India is a federal constitutional republic with a parliamentary democracy consisting of 28 states and seven union territories. It is one of the five BRICS nations. India is a pluralistic, multilingual, and multiethnic society. It is also home to a diversity of wildlife in a variety of protected habitats.

  10. Раздвижные окна и двери, иначе называемые PSK-порталом, монтируются специально для сохранения незаполненного, свободного пространства. Стандартные варианты открываются вовнутрь помещения, что требует достаточно значительную область места в помещении. Нынешние окна дают возможность избегнуть данной неприятности, увеличить воздушный и световой поток в помещении.
    Подъемно-сдвижной портал – это системы, которые обладают весьма большой площадью остекления. Для раздвигания створок имеются нижние и верхние направляющие, с помощью которых устройство легко и бесшумно скользит.
    Скольжение осуществляется с помощью ходовых роликов, кои содержат опору как элемент армирования, позволяющим очень равномерно распределять массу по всей конструкции. Они дают возможность створке передвигаться во всевозможных режимах (наклона, сдвига).
    Высота двери или окна должна быть не более 2,36 метра, а ширина створки имеет возможность изменяться от 67 см до 160 см. В зависимости от суммарного веса (может составлять от 100 кг до 200 кг), на PSK-портал ставится специальная фурнитура ради гарантии беспроблемного функционирования створок, продления срока эксплуатации. Ширина свободного проема имеет возможность достичь 2000 мм.
    Подъемно-сдвижные порталы славятся отличными герметичными качествами, хорошими показателями звуко-, термоизоляции, предлагают высокий уровень противовзломности, великолепно подходят для всех типов нынешних профилей. При установке используют опоясывающие щеточные уплотнители, кои заметно улучшают работу створок.
